2 Function
2.1 Heat Exchanger
In the heat exchanger, the moisture carried by the drying air is removed;
condensate (condensate water) remains.
Drying air is channeled through five flat ducts. Seals separate the flat ducts
from the cooling-air circuit.
Cooling air is channeled between these flat ducts and in this way cools the
drying air. The temperature drop between drying air and cooling air causes
condensate to form, which drips at the front and rear of the heat exchanger
into the water pipe and to the condensate pump.
