Richtig betrieben gewährleistet das System bei kontinuierlichem Betrieb in aller Regel gute klimatische 
Bedingungen für das Pianoforteinstrument – und zwar weitgehend unabhängig von den normalerweise 
üblichen Schwankungen der relativen Raumluftfeuchten. Detaillierte Informationen sind unter 

www.dampp-chaser.com

 abrufbar oder bei jedem Fachhändler erhältlich. 

Servicearbeiten oder Schäden an einem Instrument, deren Ursache auf ständige und/oder extreme 
Schwankungen der Raumtemperaturen bzw. anhaltend zu hohe/zu niedrige relative Luftfeuchten 
zurückzuführen sind, unterliegen weder etwaigen Garantieversprechen von Schimmel oder des 
Fachhändlers noch den gesetzlichen Gewährleistungen.

Das Piano Life Saver System von der Firma Dampp-Chaser hat sich tausendfach bewährt und ist vor allem dann 
von großem Vorteil, wenn auf andere Weise die Einhaltung eines angenehmen Raumklimas mit begrenzten 
Schwankungen von Temperaturen und relativen Luftfeuchten nicht gewährleistet werden kann. Durch kontinu-
ierlich geregelte Entfeuchtung/Befeuchtung reduziert das System die Schwankungen der relativen Luftfeuchten 
unmittelbar dort auf eine Bandbreite von 40 % bis 60 %, wo die Luftfeuchtigkeit direkt auf die empfi ndlichen Teile 
des Instrumentes einwirkt (Resonanzboden, Klaviatur, Mechanik, Spielbarkeit, Stimmhaltung). Damit werden die 
unerwünschten Schwankungen der Ausgleichsfeuchten in Holz und Filz deutlich verringert. 

Das Herz des Systems ist der Humidistat, der die Entfeuchtung/Befeuchtung der Luft in kontinuierlichem Wechsel 
und engen Schwankungsbreiten steuert. Die Entfeuchtung erfolgt durch Heizstäbe, welche die Lufttemperatur in 
ihrer unmittelbaren Umgebung geringfügig erhöhen und dabei der Luft Feuchtigkeit entziehen. Die Befeuchtung 
der Luft erfolgt durch ein über Wärmestäbe funktionierendes Verdampfungssystem, das der Luft Feuchtigkeit 
zuführt. In beiden Fällen wird dadurch eine Zirkulation der ent-/befeuchteten Luft im Instrument bewirkt. 

As a rule, the continuous operation of a correctly installed system ensures an ideal relative humidity range 
for the instrument, regardless of fl uctuations in room climate. For more detailed information consult your 
dealer or

Neither Schimmel, its agents, successors and assigns, nor its authorized dealers, their successors and 
assigns, is, are or shall be in any way responsible for any damage to the piano of any kind whatsoever, 
direct or consequential, caused by or resulting from frequent fl uctuations of relative humidity beyond 
comfortable levels as described or from longer lasting extremes of too high or too low relative humidity.

Piano Life Saver System

Piano Life Saver System

The Dampp-Chaser Piano Life Saver System has proved to be a most eff ective climate control system for grand 
and upright pianos, especially in situations where it is otherwise diffi  cult to maintain a uniform degree of humidity 
throughout all four seasons. The system is installed underneath the soundboard and behind the keyboard and 
action in grands, and in front of the soundboard and below the keyboard in uprights. Continuous alternating 
dehumidifying and humidifying mechanisms help to minimize wide fl uctuations in relative humidity that would 
otherwise have an adverseaff ect on the sensitive areas of the piano (soundboard, keyboard, action) and degrade 
playability, and tuning stability. 

The “Humidistat” is the brain of the system which senses whether the wooden parts of your piano are too moist 
or too dry and automatically switches the system to function as a “dehumidifi er” or “humidifi er” to protect your 
piano from damage caused by changes in humidity. The “dehumidifi er” averts moisture from your piano through 
warm air currents and the “humidifi er” moisturizes the dry wood of your piano when the humidity drops. 

L’humidifi cation de l’air s’opère par un système d’évaporation, fonctionnant par l’intermédiaire de barres 
chauff antes qui, une fois chauff ées, libèrent la vapeur d’eau, adjoignant ainsi de l’eau à l’air. Dans les deux 
cas, il s’ensuit une circulation de l’air humidifi é / déshumidifi é à l’intérieur de l’instrument. 

Correctement utilisé, le système, en régime continu, garantit normalement de bonnes conditions climatiques 
pour le piano – et cela, pratiquement indépendamment des variations habituelles des conditions hygrométriques.

Climatisation pour pianos

Le système « Piano Life Saver » de la société Dampp-Chaser, qui a fait ses preuves aux USA à des milliers 
d’exemplaires, présente toujours un grand avantage, lorsqu’il n’est pas possible de maintenir d’une autre façon 
un climat agréable dans la pièce avec des variations limitées de la température et de l’humidité relative de l’air. 
Par association des fonctions de déshumidifi cation/humidifi cation réglées automatiquement, le système réduit 
les variations d’humidité relative de l’air dans une fourchette de 40% à 60% directement là où l’humidité de 
l’air intervient sur les pièces sensibles de l’instrument (table d’harmonie, clavier, mécanique, toucher, tenue de 
l’accord), ce qui permet de diminuer notablement les écarts indésirables de l’humidité d’équilibre dans le bois et 
le feutre. 

Le cœur de l’instrument est l’Humidistat, qui gère le fonctionnement alterné deshumidifi cateur et du dés 
humidifi cateur pour maintenir constamment le niveau d’humidité requis. La déshumidifi cation est assurée par 
une résistance, qui dégage une chaleur qui augmente légèrement la température de l’air dans sa proximité 
immédiate, abaissant ainsi le taux d’humidité relative.
