The Phoenix R175 is the first roto-mold LGR (low grain 

refrigerant) dehumidifier manufactured by Therma-Stor, 

LLC. The R175 combines Phoenix innovation, technical 

expertise and proven durability. This unit will remove more 

water, produce more grain depression and dry structures and 

contents faster than standard refrigerant dehumidifiers.

In addition to the performance benefits, patented bypass 

technology and tough compact size, are the multiple ducting 

options, pleated media filter and energy efficient operation. 

The R175 is the latest member of the Phoenix line of LGR 

dehumidifiers; the most effective and versatile drying devices 

made.

 The Phoenix R175 LGR Dehumidifier

Increased Capacity

 - The Phoenix R175 removes over 

30% more water than other dehumidifiers of equal size.

Energy Efficiency

 - Removes 92 pints at AHAM while 

drawing only 6.3 amps.

Patented Bypass Technology
230 CFM

 - More processed air speeds drying and 

provides superior static pressure for ducting.

More Grain Depression

 - Drier from an LGR gets your 

jobs drier quicker.

Focused Airflow

 - Patent focused outlet directs air 

downward across the wet surface.

Multiple Ducting Options

 - 12” intake, 10” exhaust.

Plastic Housing

 - Rugged roto-molded housing resists 

dents and scratches.

Solid State Controls

 - Easy to read and operate.

Protected Condensate Hose

 - Located under the lid. 

Cannot catch or be damaged on obstructions.

Telescoping Handle

 - A heavy-duty retractable handle 

for ease of transport and reduces space for storage and 

stacking.

Recessed 12” Wheels

 - Allows greater maneuverability 

on the job site and efficient storage. Rolls over obstacles 

with ease.

Pleated Media Air Filter

 - A MERV-8 is standard.

Stacking/Nesting

 - Reduces space for ease of stacking 

and storage.
