•  Automatic Bypass Technology – 

Patented 

technology automatically adjusts for 
temperature variation, increasing performance 
over a wider operating range.

•  High Capacity -

12” intake, 10” 

exhaust.

•  Solid State Controls - 

Easy to read and 

operate.

The Phoenix 270HTx is one of the most effective and versatile drying devices available. The Phoenix 270HTx features more 
water removal (161 pints per day@AHAM) and higher grain depression than other refrigerant dehumidifiers, while drawing only 
8.9 amps of electricity.
The 270HTx features Phoenix’s patented bypass design, which is now enhanced to compensate for temperature automatically.  
By sensing and adjusting to temperature changes in the drying chamber, the 270HTx maximizes water removal over an 
extended operating range without the need for manual adjustments.  
At higher temperatures, where typical LGRs lose effectiveness, the Phoenix 270HTx automatically adjusts to continue removing 
moisture. This offers several advantages to the restorer, including faster evaporation rates, quicker drying, and elimination of 
the need to remove or modify equipment for temperature control.
