Outdoor Air (OA) Intake 

option

 

(opening, damper and filter (4)) is available, although very rarely used. 

 

Refrigeration coils - 

Evaporator

 (7) and 

Reheat

 (internal condenser) (8) - are located directly downstream of 

the 

Main Filter Rack

 (9).  

o

 

Evaporator Bypass Damper

 (10) is located next to the evaporator coil. It helps to control compressor 

suction pressure by adjusting the amount of air, bypassing the evaporator. 

 

Space heater

 (11) location, if the dehumidifier is equipped with one, may vary: 

o

 

Hot water

 coil is usually located directly downstream of the 

reheat

 coil; 

o

 

Electric heater

 is externally 

mounted directly on the dehumidifier’s supply air duct connection.

 

o

 

Gas heater 

(duct heater or boiler package)

 

normally is installed externally. 

 

Compressor

 (13), 

Receiver

 (14) and other components are located within the 

Compressor Compartment 

(3)

.

  

o

 

Some larger compressors may have VFD (variable frequency drive), located in 

Main Electric Panel

.  

o

 

Dehumidifier with 

water-cooled

 air conditioning option (equipped with dry cooler or connected to 

external water-cooling source) would have 

plate heat exchanger

 (16) as a part of compressor circuit.  

 

Main Electric Panel

 contains 

Main Control Board

 (17), 

Operator Panel

 (18) and other electrical components.  

 

 

 

 

Economiser Option. 

Pic. D.1-B shows 
dehumidifier, equipped 
with Economizer Coil 
option: 

 

Additional 

Economizer 
Section

 (91) is 

located between 

Evaporator coil

 

and 

Main Filter 

Rack

. Section 

includes 

Economizer Coil

 

(92) and three-
way 

Mixing 

Valve 

(93): 

o

 

Economizer coil and mixing valve are piped with plate heat exchanger and external AC water-
cooled equipment (dry cooler etc.)  

 

Control System 

The dehumidifier control system is composed of sensors, spread throughout the dehumidifier, 

Main Control 

Board

Operator Panel

 and other electric components, located in the 

Main Electric Panel.
