System Guidelines

5.3.1 Unit Airflow

Desert Aire dehumidifiers are designed to operate at a specified airflow rate. System

airflow must be checked prior to troubleshooting the refrigeration circuit to assure that

such problems are not actually caused by improper unit airflow.

Problems with excessive airflow:

•

Reduction in moisture removal capacity.

•

High amperage draw by the blower motor.

•

Water carries over from evaporator coil.

•

Excessive unit noise levels.

Problems with inadequate airflow:

•

Can cause excessive discharge (high side) refrigeration pressure.

•

Increase in system energy consumption.

•

Can lead to premature compressor failure.

5.3.1.1 Determining System Airflow

Using a manometer or Magnehelic® pressure differential gauge, determine

the static pressure drop in inches water column across the unit’s condenser

coil. Units are equipped with pressure tap holes on the side panels just for

this purpose. See Figure 4 for proper pressure drop range for your unit.

A low static pressure drop indicates low airflow – you must speed up the

blower. A high pressure drop indicates high airflow – you must slow down the

blower.

NOTE:

Low system airflow can also be caused by airflow restrictions such as

dirty coils, filters and duct work. Assure that this is not the case before

speeding up the blower.

5.3.1.2 Blower Adjustment Procedure

Disconnect power to the unit before you adjust the blower!

Change the blower speed by adjusting the motor pulley. To adjust the variable

pitch pulley, first loosen the set screw. To slow down the blower, turn the outer

pulley face counterclockwise (to decrease its pitch diameter) utilizing half turn
