Working Mode; Installation Instructions - Carel DRYCLIM 13 Manuel D'utilisation

Introduction
The machines of the DRYCLIM series are air dehumidifiers whose aim is to remove humidity from the envi-
ronment by using a refrigerating circuit (fig.2) supplied with the non-pollutant gas R134a and provided with a
defrosting system (see below).

Working mode

The air is sucked up by the apparatus and passed through the evaporator of the refrigeration circuit (fig.2). In
this way, the air temperature is being reduced below its dew point and the steam condesates into water dro-
plets which are collected in the appropriate tank (see below).The pollution level of the collected water is pro-
portional to the pollution level of the environment. The dehumidified air is then passed through the condenser
(5), that raises its temperature up to a value that is slightly higher than the initial one. Consequently, the
amount of humidity contained in the ambient air is being gradually reduced until the established value is rea-
ched. This also involves a humidity reduction in the walls and in the floor of the room, and also in the materials
contained in it.
Defrosting
When the ambient temperature lowers below 20°C, ice may form on the evaporator (4) (fig.2). In the dehumidi-
fiers of the DRYCLIM series, the coil defrosting takes place automatically. When the evaporator temperature
probe of the dehumidifier read a value close to 0°C, a defrosting cycle starts. After about 30 minutes of opera-
ting functioning, the compressor stops only the evaporator works.
When the yellow light of the operator control panel is on (fig.1), it means that the dehumidifier is carrying out
the defrosting. The defrosting cycle stops when the evaporator temperature reach 3-4°C.
Condensation tank
When in the condensation tank the maximum level of water is reached, the dehumidifier stops and the red
light (3) of the control panel turns on (fig.1). To empty the tank, open the front door of the unit, remove the
tank and empty it. In order to start again the unit, simply insert again the tank into the appropriate compartment.
NOTA BENE: the red light (3) indicates not only if the water tank is full but also if is absent or not properly fitted.
As long as the red light (3) is on, the unit absolutely cannot operate.
It is also possible to obtain the continuous water drain by connecting a rubber pipe with an inner diameter of
10mm to the connection situated in the lower part of the basin. In order to let the pipe out of the unit, utilize
the appropriate hole at the bottom of the dehumidifier. Check if the pipe drain is normal.

Installation instructions

The dehumidifiers of the DRYCLIM series have to be simply introduced into the enclosed space to be dehumi-
dified and activated. In order to reach the maximum efficiency, the following rules must be observed:
• make sure that in the enclosed space where the dehumidifier is placed the limit working conditions of the
machine are never exceeded (tab.2);
• the room where the dehumidifier is placed must be closed;
• the unit must always operate in a vertical position, with the four wheels at the bottom;
• the dehumidifier has to be placed so as the grids of the air input and output are allowed to be free
(at least 10cm);
• check that the supply voltage is in conformity with that indicated in the tab.2 and that the installation is
com plying with the laws in force.
• it is recommended to place the dehumidifier in the coldest spot of the room and where normally
humidity builds up.
