Description of the device

The device uses the principle of condensation to automatically dehumidify rooms.
The fan sucks damp room air through the air inlet, the air filter, the evaporator and to the condenser located behind it. The air is cooled at the cold evaporator until it is below the dew point. Water vapour contained in the room air precipitates on the evaporator fins as condensation or rime. The dehumidified, cooled air is slightly warmed at the condenser and blown out again. The drier air thus conditioned mixes with the air in the room. The humidity in the room where the device is positioned is reduced as air constantly circulates through the device.
Depending on the air temperature and the relative humidity, the condensed water either drops continuously or only during the defrost phase through the integrated drain nozzle into the condensation tank below. It is fitted with a float to measure the filling level.
In case of the device TTK 165 ECO defrosting takes place electronically in air circulation mode.
The devices TTK170ECO and TTK380ECO come with a hot gas automatic defrost system. Here, the hot gas of the refrigerant circuit is used actively for fast and effective defrosting. This makes the devices TTK170ECO and TTK380ECO considerably more effective at temperatures below 15°C.
Once the maximum filling level of the condensation tank is reached or in case the condensation tank is not installed correctly, the condensation tank indicator light (see chapter Device depiction) is illuminated. The compressor and fan will switch off. The condensation tank indicator light only goes out again once the emptied condensation tank is reinserted.
If required, an external hygrostat can be connected to the devices TTK170ECO and TTK380ECO for controlling the humidity level. Moreover, an operating hours counter helps you to meet the maintenance deadlines.
Optionally, the condensed water can be drained by attaching a hose at the condensation connection.
The device can reduce the relative humidity of a room to approx. 30%.
Because of the heat radiation generated during operation, the room temperature may rise slightly.
Info
The illustrations in this operating manual feature the device TTK 170 ECO by way of example. However, the depicted operating steps and explanations also apply to the devices TTK165ECO and TTK380ECO unless otherwise mentioned.
