UNPACKING

Carefully remove the LD-82 dehumidifier process dryer and the Universal
Controller from its transit box and visually check for signs of transit damage. If
there is evidence of damage DO NOT attempt to operate the units, call your
supplier for advice. Do not discard the packing; it will be useful when
transporting the dehumidifier unit in the future.

INTRODUCTION

The LD-82 dehumidifier process dryer is supplied complete with a Universal
Controller (STC1) ready for installation into a pre-built drying chamber.
Instructions for the building of the drying chamber can be supplied by Ebac
Ltd.
Ask for the Ebac Technical Publication (TP 132), “Wood Drying with the Ebac
range of small scale wood dryers”

The LD-82 dehumidifier process dryer removes moisture from the air that is
circulating through the unit.

The LD-82 dehumidifier process dryer requires no previous experience with
drying as it is simple to install and operate. The process dryer is energy
efficient, quiet to operate and will cause no pollution problems.

The Ebac method of drying is a process of dehumidification. The LD-82
dehumidifier process dryer is placed in a sealed chamber with the produce
required to be dried. By continually removing moisture from the air which is
circulated through the product stack, the LD-82 process dryer creates a
condition in which the product progressively releases its moisture under the
controlled conditions.

As the process is one of re-circulation of the same air (within the chamber),
minimal energy loss occurs and therefore the running costs are kept low.
Capital costs are also kept low with the Ebac LD-82 dehumidifier process
dryer. However, the dried product is of the highest quality with consistent and
even moisture content.

Because the drying process is carried out within the controlled conditions, the
repeatability of each batch of product being dried is always of the same high
quality and moisture content.

The LD-82 dehumidifier process dryer themselves are easily installed in the
ready made chamber of the requisite size.

The LD-82 dehumidifier process dryer consists of a motor-compressor unit, a
refrigerant condenser, air circulating fans, a refrigerated surface, and a means
of collecting and disposing the condensed moisture and a cabinet to house
these components.

The fan draws air through the refrigerated surface and cools it below its dew
point, removing moisture which is collected and led away. The cool air then
passes the hot condenser, where it is reheated (with the same energy
removed during the cooling phase). With the addition of other radiated heat
and extra heat (if required), from an electrical heater bank, the air is
discharged into the chamber at a higher temperature but lower relative
humidity than when the air first entered the process drying unit. Continuous
circulation of the chamber air through the LD-82 dehumidifier process dryer
gradually (under controlled conditions), reduces the relative humidity, thereby
drying the product.
