7.1 Technical Description
The Santa Fe Advance uses a refrigeration system similar to an air conditioner’s
to remove heat and moisture from incoming air and add heat to the air that
is discharged. Hot, high pressure refrigerant gas is routed from the compressor
to the condenser coil. The refrigerant is cooled and condensed by giving up
its heat to the air that is discharged from the dehumidifier. The refrigerant
liquid then passes through capillary tubing which cause the refrigerant
pressure and temperature to drop. It next enters the evaporator coil where it
absorbs heat from the incoming air and evaporates.
