Technical Description of
Dehumidier Operation
The DV090 uses a refrigeraon system similar to an air
condioner's to remove heat and moisture from incom-
ing air, and add heat to the supply air that is discharged
from the dehumidier. Hot, high-pressure refrigerant gas
is routed from the compressor to the condenser coil (See
Figure 9). The refrigerant is cooled and condensed by
giving up its heat to the supply air being discharged from
the unit. The refrigerant liquid then passes through a
strainer and capillary tubing which causes the refrigerant
pressure and temperature to drop. It next enters the
evaporator coil where it absorbs heat from the incoming
air and evaporates. The evaporator operates in a ooded
condion, which means that all the evaporator tubes
contain liquid refrigerant during normal operaon. A
ooded evaporator should maintain nearly constant
pressure and temperature across the enre coil, from
inlet to outlet.
The mixture of gas and liquid refrigerant enters the
accumulator aer leaving the evaporator coil. The ac-
cumulator prevents any liquid refrigerant from reaching
the compressor. The compressor evacuates the cool
refrigerant gas from the accumulator and compresses
it to a high pressure and temperature to repeat
the process.
Troubleshooting
Neither fan nor compressor running.
Dehumidication is being called for. No fan call.
1. Unit unplugged or no power to outlet.
2. Humidity control set too high.
3. Loose connecon in internal or control wiring.
4. Defecve Compressor relay.
5. Defecve control transformer.
Compressor is not running. Dehumidication
is being called for. No fan call.
1. Defecve compressor run capacitor.
2. Loose connecon in compressor circuit.
3. Defecve compressor overload.
4. Defecve compressor.
5. Defrost thermostat open.
6. Defecve compressor relay
Compressor cycles on and o. Dehumidication
is being called for. No fan call.
1. Low ambient temperature and/or humidity causing
unit to cycle through defrost mode.
2. Defecve compressor overload.
3. Defecve compressor.
4. Defrost thermostat defecve.
5. Dirty air lter(s) or air ow restricted.
6. Defecve fan relay.
Fan is not running. Dehumidication or
fan is being called for.
1. Loose connecon in fan circuit.
2. Obstrucon prevents fan impeller rotaon.
3. Defecve fan.
4. Defecve fan relay.
Low dehumidication capacity (evaporator is
frosted continuously). Dehumidication is
being called for.
1. Defrost thermostat loose or defecve.
2. Low refrigerant charge.
3. Dirty air lter(s) or air ow restricted.
4. Excessively restricve ducng connected to unit.
