Desert Aire - LC/LV Manual
2.4.2 Low Water Flow Protection
Desert Aire LC and LV Series dehumidifiers are equipped with a
factory-installed water flow switch. This switch prevents the unit from running
in the water heating mode if there is a loss of water flow. Desert Aire
recommends continuous water flow to the unit to prevent vapor lock, pump
cavitations, and nuisance head pressure trips.
2.5
Remote Condenser (Optional)
Important:
Refer to the separate Air Cooled Condensers Installation and Operation manual for
additional details on line design, traps, clamping, and other condenser installation
requirements.
LC and LV dehumidifiers installed with remote condensers may require additional oil and
refrigerant charge at the time of field installation. For reference, the factory charge of the
dehumidifier is shown in Figure 13. Additional field installed charge is shown for each unit size,
allowable line length, and remote condenser for standard units are shown in Figures 14 and 15.
Note that custom systems or non-standard line configurations may have been specified. Refer
to the submittal documentation or label adjacent to the remote condenser connections to
confirm the charge and lines for those systems.
