6. Function / Operation
6.1 Functioning
This dehumidifier works on the condensation principle. The air to be dehumidified is cooled by a fan through
a dust filter through the evaporator. If the temperature falls below the dew point, the water vapor stored in the
room air condenses and is deposited on the evaporator tubes as drops. The dripping condensate is collected
in the condensate tray and runs into the water tank - or, if a drain hose is used, into a lower-lying external
container or a drain.
The heat generated during the evaporation process and the drive work is fed back into the dehumidified cold
air in the condenser and transported back into the room with it. In this way, the emerging dry air experiences
a temperature increase of approx. 5 ° C, and can thus absorb moisture from the room again. Due to the
constant circulation of the room air through the device, the relative humidity in the room is gradually reduced,
which results in a very quick but gentle drying.
6.2 Location / Installation
The amount of moisture extracted by this device depends on many factors at the location, especially the
temperature and relative humidity in the room, the size of the room, the installation in the room and also the
cause of the moisture. No dehumidifier can completely remove the moisture. However, if installed correctly, it
will significantly reduce moisture and prevent moisture damage to walls and furniture. However, the time
required for drying can vary considerably for the above reasons.
The weather conditions also affect the performance of the dehumidifier, which drops at very low and too high
temperatures. While cold air can only absorb a little moisture, the dew point is not fallen below if the
temperature is too high - no more condensate can be formed. For energy-saving and efficient drying, it is
therefore important to create the best possible conditions in the room, for example by additional heating and /
or ventilation of the room air.
The dehumidifier can be installed in a single room to dry it specifically, or in a hallway, for example, to
dehumidify several rooms at the same time. While the dehumidifier is working, doors and windows should
remain closed as far as possible so that additional moisture does not enter the room from outside. However,
it must be ensured that no refrigerant can accumulate in the room and can be ignited by external ignition
sources.
When locating the dehumidifier, make sure that the device is on a level, solid surface
is set up at a sufficient distance from walls and other objects to ensure unimpeded air circulation and to
prevent the device from overheating.The device should not be near radiators or similar heat sources and
should not be in direct sunlight.
A minimum room size of 4 m² and a minimum room volume of 6 m³ must be observed. The distance to
surrounding walls and objects should be at least 20 cm.
Do not put the device into operation:
- if the air outlet flap (7) is not fully open
- in areas where water or oil could be splashed
- near a fire source
- near bathtubs, showers or swimming pools
- in areas with direct sunlight
