Why should industrial dehumidifiers be cleaned frequently?

Because the working principle of the industrial dehumidifier is to draw the humid air in the room into the dehumidifier, and after two devices (condenser and evaporator) and compressors, it is converted into dry air and discharged.

Generally, the air in the room is mixed with a lot of dust and impurities. The dehumidifier draws in the air, and the air will pass through a filter to purify the air initially.

Over time, a lot of dust will accumulate on the filter. If the dust is too thick, it will affect the effect of the air intake, the air intake volume becomes smaller, the air output volume and the dehumidification efficiency will become smaller.

In addition, the dust on the appearance of the dehumidifier should also be wiped clean frequently to facilitate the heat dissipation of the dehumidifier, and to prevent the internal components of the dehumidifier from affecting the service life due to too high temperature.

Therefore, dehumidifiers generally need to be cleaned regularly in order to improve the use effect of dehumidifiers and prolong the service life of Duokai industrial dehumidifiers.

Switch maintenance method:

When the dehumidifier is in use, it should not be switched on and off frequently, and the startup and shutdown should be controlled by the humidity controller. When not in use, turn off the power and unplug the power plug. When a sudden shutdown occurs, since the general dehumidifier has a time delay for shutdown (the delay time is about 3 minutes), although it can be turned on immediately after shutdown, it will take 3 minutes to run.

However, for a dehumidifier without a time delay, it cannot be turned on immediately after shutdown. It must be restarted after about 3 minutes. Otherwise, it may cause excessive starting current, burn the fuse, or even burn the compressor motor. Pay particular attention to the effective use of the timer function. When sleeping or going out, use the timer function to make it run only for the necessary time to save power.

Humidity maintenance method:

When the machine is running, it is necessary to carefully adjust the humidity to avoid too high or too low. For example, every 2% lower can save about 10% of electricity. Open doors and windows as little as possible during operation. Frequent opening and closing of doors and windows will reduce the cooling and dehumidifying effect of the dehumidifier and waste electricity. Especially in summer, blocking the direct sunlight can make the dehumidifier save about 5% of electricity. In addition, the space with good sealing conditions saves the most electricity.

Filter maintenance method:

Dehumidifiers are generally used before the rainy season or after autumn. Duokai recommends that the dehumidifier needs to be cleaned and maintained. Especially filter maintenance. After removing the air filter, pat lightly or use an electric vacuum cleaner to clean. If the filter screen is too dirty, it can be washed with water or neutral detergent, but not with hot water above 50 ℃ to avoid deformation. Do not use a sponge to clean it, otherwise, it will damage the surface of the filter. After rinsing it with clean water, put it in a cool place to air dry. Never expose it to the sun or dry it by the stove, because it may cause deformation. Reinstall the air-dried air filter back to its original position, and the entire dehumidifier maintenance process is completed.
