High capacity whole house dehumidifier that can be run standalone in a basement or ducted into your existing central air conditioning system. This unit can have its own independent network of ductwork, can run standalone, has high capacity, and has good low temperature operation.
| FEATURES & BENEFITS
Optional Wall-Mounted Control—The unit comes with self-contained controls but is easily converted to a dehumidistat control mounted in the living area (similar in appearance to a thermostat),
saving trips to the basement or attic to change the setting.
Cleanable Filter—A permanent nylon mesh filter captures particulates and airborne dirt to improve indoor air
quality; the filter is easily accessed from either side for cleaning.
Frost Control—Frost can collect on the coil after prolonged operation or if the home is kept at very cool temperatures. An automatic defrost system will turn off the compressor, but allow the fan to operate until any ice accumulation is melted. Once the coil is clear, the dehumidifier will resume normal operation.

Minimal Maintenance—The WHD-130A is built for long life and trouble free operation. Periodic cleaning of the
filter keeps the unit operating at peak efficiency.
Quiet Operation—The WHD-130A is designed for quiet operation. The cabinet is lined with 1” thick high density, expanded polyethylene insulation that absorbs and reflects sound, keeping most unwanted noise from the duct system and living spaces. The compressor is mounted on rubber isolators to prevent
vibration, and the entire unit can be placed on rubber feet or suspended using rubber isolators (optional) to further reduce noise transmission into the home.
Energy-Efficient—Because drier air is more comfortable, many people actually raise the temperature setting on their air conditioner when a dehumidifier is installed, reducing the load on the air conditioner and helping extend its life.
Fits Any Size Home—With a dehumidifier, the greater the unit’s capacity, the faster the home can be
brought to a comfortable level. At 130 pints of moisture removed per day, the WHD-130A is effective in virtually every home and in the most humid conditions.
Additional Information
How does the unit know if dehumidification is needed?
An automatic sampling sequence takes place every hour. The unit’s fan runs for 15 minutes to sample the air in the home and sense the of humidity level. The sample passes over a sensor that turns the compressor on if dehumidification is needed. Both the fan and the compressor then run until the humidity level in the air entering the unit reaches the preset level.
If optionally connected to a central HVAC system and the room thermostat calls for heating or cooling while the dehumidifier is operating, it will stop until the A/C, furnace or heat pump brings the temperature to the
desired level. After the A/C stops, the dehumidifier begins the sampling sequence again to ensure the home remains at a comfortable level.
Effective, efficient dehumidification
When the dehumidifier fan is running, moist air from the living spaces is drawn into the unit via the inlet duct. It passes through the filter to remove air-borne contaminants, then continues on through the cold evaporator coil which causes the moisture to condense on the coil, much like condensation on the outside of a glass of ice water. The moisture falls into a stainless steel drain pan and is carried away by the drain hose. The air then passes through the condensing coil where it is warmed before being discharged into the living space. To maximize this process, a thermostatic expansion valve provides precise refrigeration control over a wide range of operating temperatures.
Simple installation using existing ductwork or standalone
This unit can be used standalone in a large or very moist basement area of 3000 square feet or less.
Simply have the unit hard wired in electrically and run a drain line. This will require the services of an electrician.
A whole house dehumidifier can also be installed as part of the heating and air conditioning system. Insulated, flexible ducts are used to connect the dehumidifier’s inlet to the air conditioner’s return duct; the dehumidifier outlet connects to the air outlet of the air conditioner. The dehumidifier can be installed in new construction or existing structures, in basements, attics or crawl spaces—at roughly 2 feet square, it doesn't require a lot of room. It can sit on a flat surface using the rubber feet that are included to level the unit. It can also be suspended with the optional hanger kit (Part No. WDH-14); four brackets and four rubber isolators come in the kit. |
