How It Works

The high-efficiency dehumidifier utilizes refrigeration to cool the incoming air stream below its dew point as it passes through the dehumidification (evaporator) coil. This cooling results in the removal of moisture (latent heat) and reduction of the temperature (sensible heat). The cooled and dried air is used to pre-cool the incoming air stream resulting in up to a 300% increase in overall efficiency. After the pre-cooling stage the processed air is reheated by passing through the condenser coil. The latent heat removed by the evaporator coil is returned to the air stream at this stage as sensible heat, resulting in an overall increase in temperature from the incoming air.

Special Features

This unit comes with a number of specially designed features that make dehumidifying your space even easier and more worry-free:

• Standard air filtration is provided by a pleated polyester and cotton blend media filter located at the air-intake at the top of the unit. The efficiency rating of this filter is 40% in the ASHRAE 52-76 Dust Spot Test.
• The optional HEPA filter is a micro-glass paper mini-pleat filter located in a special housing which can be mounted on the back of the cabinet. The efficiency rating of this filter is 99.97% on the DOP test.
• The unit is controlled by a dehumidistat with positive ON and OFF settings and a variable setting range from 20% to 80%.
• The unit contains a blower switch that permits continuous blower operation for filtration, independent of dehumidification.
• This unit is accurately labeled “high capacity.” It removes 74 pints of water per day at AHAM, which is up to 5 times more than residential dehumidifiers
• The high efficiency of this unit allows it to dehumidify more pints of water per kilowatt of electricity than many other dehumidifiers, making it up to 80% more efficient.

Air Filtration

This unit is upgradeable so that you can purify your air from allergens and other pollution particles. By adding HEPA filtration, you can filter out 99.97% of particles 0.3 micrometers or larger. There is also the option for activated carbon filtration available. Carbon is excellent at removing odors and chemicals from your home. If you have additional/specific questions about these add-ons, please contact our product experts at (800) 934-9194 for more information.

Temperature Operation

This unit has a built-in defrost system that is designed for operation down to 55°F.

Humidity Control

When sized properly this system will maintain the EPA recommended relative humidity of 45% to 50% — ideal conditions for an odor free, dry comfortable living and storage space.
