The CDF dehumidifier is fully automatic with electronic control and a built-in, adjustable hygrostat. The unit has a clear display that indicates the current status of operation.
CDF 10 works in accordance with the condensation principle. A fan draws the humid air in to the dehumidifier and through an evaporator coil. When passing through the evaporator the air is cooled down to below its dew point temperature and its content of water vapour is condensed into water, which falls into the drip tray and then is led from the drip tray to a drain. The cold, dry air is then passed over the condenser coil where it is re-heated, before leaving the unit at a temperature, which is approx. 5°C higher than at the inlet.
The CDF 10 has a built-in hygrostat and is fully automatic with electronic control. The hygrostat is placed behind the front panel and the required relative humidity level can be adjusted by moving the set screw. On delivery the CDF 10 is set at approx. 60% RH.
The CDF 10 is switched on and off by the switch on the side of the unit. A green LED on the front panel lights when the compressor is operating. If the CDF 10 is used with a water container, it switches off automatically when the water tank is full. A red LED on the front panel lights when the water container needs to be emptied.
Active, demand-controlled defrosting is incorporated in the electronic control. A sensor on the evaporator coil ensures that the evaporator is only defrosted when required. The evaporator coil is defrosted by means of hot refrigerant bypassing the condenser and being fed through the evaporator. The CDF 10 is automatically switched off when the temperature is lower than 3°C. It restarts when the room temperature has increased to more than 3°C.
