3. Dehumidifier design

3.1. Product description

The desiccant dehumidifiers in the ML series have been developed to effectively dehumidify the air in environments requiring low air humidity.
The dehumidifier is equipped with an encapsulated rotor unit. The rotor casing is constructed of durable thermoset plastic and contains isolated sections that provide a precise balance for the dehumidification, reactivation and heat recovery airflows.
The dehumidifier is manufactured in accordance with uniform European standards and established re­quirements for CE-marking.

3.2. Function overview

Internal airflows
1. Process air
2. Dry air
3. Reactivation air
4. Wet air
The desiccant rotor is the adsorption dehumidifying component in the unit. The rotor structure is com­prised of a large number of small air channels.
The desiccant rotor is made of a composite material that is highly effective in attracting and retaining water vapour. The rotor is divided in two zones.
The airflow to be dehumidified, process air, passes through the largest zone of the rotor and then leaves the rotor as dry air. Since the rotor rotates slowly, the incoming air always meets a dry zone on the rotor, thus creating a continuous dehumidification process.
The airflow used to dry the rotor, reactivation air, is heated. The reactivation air passes through the rotor in the opposite direction to the process air and leaves the rotor as wet air (warm, moist air).
This principle enables the dehumidifier to work effectively, even at freezing temperatures.

NOTE
The ML420 unit has only one fan motor that is placed between the process and reacti­vation impellers.

3.4. Insulated process air inlet

When cold process air is to be dehumidified, often in conjunction with a pre-cooler, condensate will readily form on the inlet side of the dehumidifier. ML-series dehumidifiers can therefore be supplied in an IPI version in which the process air fan is encased in a specially insulated box to prevent the forma­tion of condensation.
11

5.3. Foundation

The dehumidifier must be installed on a level floor, or platform, which has been designed with a floor loading capacity capable of supporting the total weight of the unit. If the maximum floor loading weight is not exceeded, special foundations are not required.
If local regulations require that the unit must be attached to the floor, the mounting holes in the base frame can be used for foundation screws.

5.4. Duct installation

5.4.1. General recommendations

The connections for process and reactivation air are designed in accordance with the recommendations in ISO 13351. The rectangular duct connections contain tapped inserts for M8 screws.
WARNING
The dehumidifier has been designed to operate at specific process airflows corre­sponding to the fan sizes installed.
NOTE
The IPI version does not have a process air filter. The process air inlet must therefore be connected to cold/pre-cooled and filtered air via a duct.
• The length of ductwork must be kept as short as possible to minimize static air pressure losses.
• To maintain performance, all rigid process or reactivation air ductwork joints must be air and vapour tight.
• The process air ductwork must be insulated to prevent condensation developing on the outside of the duct, whenever the temperature of the air within the duct falls below the dewpoint temperature of the ambient air through which the ductwork is routed.

• The ducts must always be insulated when there is a risk of freezing.
• The wet air leaving the dehumidifier will, because of high moisture content, condense on the inside duct walls. By insulating the ducts, the amount of condensate is reduced.
• Horizontal wet air ducts must be installed with a slight decline (away from the dehumidifier) to drain away possible condensation. Suitable condensation drains must be installed at low points in the wet air outlet duct.
• Ensure that access for operation and servicing is not restricted when designing and installing ducting.
• To reduce noise and/or vibration being transmitted along rigid ducts, good quality, airtight flexible con­nections must be fitted.
• Ducts mounted directly onto the unit must be independently supported to minimize the load on the unit.
• Dampers for adjustment of the airflows must be installed in the dry air outlet and reactivation air inlet ducts. Correct airflows are essential for the efficiency of the unit.
• The total pressure drop in the process and reactivation ductwork must not exceed the available pres­sure of the fans fitted to the dehumidifier.

5.4.2. Duct for outdoor air inlet

When bringing outside ambient air into the dehumidifier, the opening to the inlet duct should be located sufficiently high above ground level to prevent the pick up of dust and debris. The ducting should be designed to prevent rain and snow from being drawn into the dehumidifier. The air inlet must be located away from possible contaminants such as engine exhaust gases, steam and harmful vapours.
To prevent the wet air from humidifying the reactivation air, the air inlet for reactivation must be located at least 2 m from the wet air outlet.
Attach a wire net with a mesh width of approximately 10 mm in the outer end of the duct to prevent animals from entering the dehumidifier ducting.
1. Rectangular ducting
2. Round ducting
3. Wire netting

5.4.3. Duct for wet air outlet

The material for the wet air duct must withstand corrosion and temperatures of up to 100 °C. The wet air ducting must always be insulated if there is a risk of condensation. The wet air leaving the dehumidi­fier will easily cause condensation on the inside of the duct walls due to the high moisture content.
Horizontal ducts must be installed sloping downwards (away from the dehumidifier) to drain away possi­ble condensation. The duct slope must be at least 2 cm/m. In addition, drainage holes (5 mm) should be made at low points in the duct to prevent water accumulation.
Attach a wire net with a mesh width of approximately 10 mm in the outer end of the duct to prevent animals from entering the dehumidifier ducting.

5.5. Precautionary measures for units with lithium chloride rotor

The standard delivery is Munters high performance desiccant rotor HPS (High Performance Silica gel). If the dehumidifier is delivered with an LI rotor (lithium chloride) it is important that the rotor does not become loaded with moisture when the dehumidifier is off.
CAUTION
Make sure that no air passing through the rotor has a relative humidity greater than 80%.
It is recommended to install closing dampers in the process and reactivation air inlets to avoid that air with high relative humidity is drawn through the rotor and into the room.
This is particularly important when the process air is drawn from outdoors, or when the system has been fitted with a pre-cooler.

5.6. Electrical installation

WARNING
All electrical installations must be done by an authorized electrician in accordance with local regulations. An incorrect installation can cause electrical shock hazards and dam­age to the unit.
WARNING
The unit must never be connected to another voltage or frequency than what is speci­fied on the identification plate. Too high line voltage can cause electrical shock hazards and damage to the unit.
CAUTION
The supply voltage must not differ from the specified operating voltage by more than ± 10 %.
The dehumidifier is delivered complete with all internal wiring installed and configured for the voltage and frequency specified on the identification plate.
The mains power supply is connected directly to the main power switch in the unit. The supply cable and main fuses must be rated for the unit.
17
Dehumidifier ML420-1350, MLT800-1400
NOTE
If the unit is connected to the power after an RCD (Residual Current Device), also known as an earth fault breaker, this must be of “industrial” type B typically with a sen­sitivity of 100 mA or greater to avoid any unwanted tripping.
Maximum permissible system impedance 0.01 Ohm.
For connection details, see the identification plate and the wiring diagram.

5.7. External humidity sensor

The dehumidifier is normally delivered with a humidity sensor.
The sensors have an output signal of 4... 20 mA for temperature and humidity respectively.
Depending on the control system, some of these options are available:
• Sensor for relative humidity in wall mounted version. The measurement range for humidity is 0... 100 % RH. The measurement range for temperature is -5...+55 °C.
• Sensor for relative humidity in duct mounted version. The measurement range for humidity is 0... 100 % RH. The measurement range for temperature is -20...+80 °C.
• Dewpoint sensor. The measurement range for dewpoint temperature is -80...+20 °C.
• Sensor for absolute humidity, duct mounted. The measurement range is 0... 20 g/kg.
The humidity sensor regulates the dehumidifier when the mode switch is in the AUTO position (auto­matic mode) and also indicates current humidity.
To ensure correct operation, the humidity sensor must be connected with a shielded 5G, 0.75 mm² elec­tric cable.
When placed on a wall, the humidity sensor must be mounted 1–1.5 m above the floor. It must be posi­tioned so that it is not directly exposed to dry air from the unit, or humid air flowing in through doors that are opened and closed. It must not be placed close to a heat source or be exposed to direct sunlight.
A duct mounted sensor must be installed far enough from the unit outlet to get a stable humidity read­ing.
For more information, see the assembly instruction delivered with the humidity sensor.

6. Commissioning

WARNING
Commissioning and initial start-up of the unit must be done by authorized personnel only.
WARNING
Rotating fan blades can cause serious injury. Only operate the unit with the air ducts connected.
CAUTION
The airflows must never be set above the rated airflows without consulting Munters for verification.
CAUTION
Incorrect adjustment of the airflows can cause malfunction of the unit. Any damage to the unit resulting from incorrect adjustment of the airflows can invalidate the warranty of the unit.

6.1. Inspection before first start

1. Make sure that the main power switch is set to position O.
2. Open the cover for the electrical panel and make sure that no circuit breakers or automatic fuses
have released.
3. Examine the air intake filters and make sure that they are undamaged and correctly installed, and
that all areas inside the different unit sections are clean.
4. Examine all ducts and duct connections and make sure that all connections have been correctly in-
stalled, and that there are no signs of damage. Make sure that all ducts are free from unwanted material blocking the air passage.
5. Make sure that the incoming power supply voltage is correct and that the cables are correctly con-
nected.
6. Make sure that the humidity sensor is correctly positioned, and correctly connected to the electrical
panel.
19
Dehumidifier ML420-1350, MLT800-1400

6.2. Function test

1. Set the main power switch to position 1.
2. Start the unit.
3. Make sure that the rotor rotates in the direction indicated by the arrows. If the direction of rotation is
wrong, interchange the connections for the incoming wires in the main power switch.

6.3. Airflow adjustment

To obtain optimal performance, the process and reactivation airflows must be correctly adjusted.
Contact Munters for help with installation and settings.
1. Adjust the dampers installed in the dry air outlet and reactivation air inlet ducts to the correct rated
airflows.
2. Start the dehumidifier and run at full power for 8 minutes to allow the reactivation heater to reach its
normal operating temperature.
3. Make sure that the temperature difference between the reactivation inlet air and the reactivation
temperature is 95 °C (tolerance limit ±5 °C). If the temperature difference lies outside of the 5% tol­erance limit, the reactivation air damper can be adjusted in small steps until the reactivation temper­ature is within the specified tolerances. Allow the temperature to stabilize after each adjustment.
EXAMPLE: Inlet air temperature 15 °C and reactivation air temperature 110 °C = temperature increase 95 °C.
