2 Function overview
The desiccant rotor is the adsorption dehumidifying component in the unit. The rotor structure is
comprised of a large number of small air channels.
The desiccant rotor is made of a composite material that is highly effective in attracting and retaining water
vapour. The rotor is divided in two zones. The airflow to be dehumidified, process air, passes through the
largest zone of the rotor and then leaves the rotor as dry air. Since the rotor rotates slowly, the incoming air
always meets a dry zone on the rotor, thus creating a continuous dehumidification process.

The airflow that is used to dry the rotor, reactivation air, is heated. The reactivation air passes through
the rotor in the opposite direction to the process air and leaves the rotor as wet air (warm, moist air). This
principle enables the dehumidifier to work effectively, even at freezing temperatures.

4 Operation
4.1 General
The dehumidifier has three operating modes, see Figure 4.1 .
Man: The dehumidifier’s fans, rotor and reactivation heater operate continuously.
Auto1: The dehumidifier’s fans, rotor and reactivation heater are started/stopped by the humidistat.
Auto 2: The dehumidifier’s fans and rotor operate continuously. The reactivation heater is started and
stopped by the humidistat only. This mode of operation is used to maintain air circulation. If relative
humidity rises to the humidistats setpoint, the reactivation heater starts. The reactivation heater stops when
relative humidity drops below the setpoint.
NOTE! For the dehumidifier to function in Auto 1 and 2, a single stage humidistat must be connected to the unit.
See section 3.10, Connecting the humidistat.
