INDUSTRIAL DEHUMIDIFIER
USER MANUAL
UNPACKING
Thank you for deciding to purchase an Ebac Industrial dehumidifier. Like
the many tens of thousands of people who have already bought an Ebac
dehumidifier, we are confident you will find it is the most effective answer
to the problem of condensation and dampness-related problems
IMPORTANT
Your Industrial dehumidifier is packed in plastic wrapping – please ensure
that it is disposed of safely and where it will not be a danger to children.
INTRODUCTION
Carefully remove the BD70 dehumidifier unit from its transit box and visually
check for any signs of transit damage. If there is evidence of damage DO NOT
attempt to operate the unit, call your supplier for advice. Retain the
packaging for further use, or dispose of it considerately.
This user manual tells you how to use the BD70 dehumidifier. Please read it
thoroughly before operating the dehumidifier. If you have any questions about
the unit please contact our Customer Service Department at the address shown
at the back of this section or phone 01388 664400.
Dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air circulating through it.
Continuous operation reduces the relative humidity of the air and this helps
prevent rust, rot, mold, mildew, and condensation within the room, or other
enclosed space where the dehumidifier is used.
A dehumidifier consists of a motor–compressor unit, a refrigerant condenser, an air circulating fan, a refrigerated surface, a means of collecting and disposing of the condensed moisture, and a cabinet to house these components.
GENERAL
Ebac industrial dehumidifiers can be stored and transported in horizontal or
vertical positions. To operate, stand the unit upright, connect power and it
is ready for operation.
When a generator is used to supply the power, it is essential to check the
minimum kva required in the technical section within this manual. The
generator must be started before the connection is made to the dehumidifier.
OPERATION
The fan draws moist air through the refrigerated surface which cools it below
its dew point, removing moisture that is collected and lead away. The cool air
then passes over the hot condenser, where it is reheated. With the addition of
the other radiated heat the air is discharged into the room at a higher
temperature but a lower relative humidity than when the air entered the unit.
Continuous circulation of the room air through the dehumidifier unit gradually
reduces the relative humidity in the room.
The BD70 Industrial humidifier is a robust, compact unit designed to control
the humidity in the enclosed space in which it is placed.
The unit is thermally protected and will switch off for a period if the
maximum operating temperature of 35°C is exceeded.
MAINS PLUG WIRING
INFORMATION FOR EBAC
INDUSTRIAL DEHUMIDIFIERS
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured and must be connected as shown in
the diagrams above by a qualified electrician.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The wire which is coloured Green and Yellow must be connected to the terminal marked E or by the Earth Symbol. The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letters N or coloured Black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured Red.
CHANGING THE FUSE
13 amp fuses that are ASTA approved to BS1362 should only be used.
BASIC STEPS
Ensure that all EXTERNAL doors and windows are CLOSED. Where no doors or windows are fitted, temporarily screen off the openings.
POSITIONING
For small areas position centrally in the area to be dried. For larger
areas such as open plan buildings, offices or factories, a number of dryers
may be required, in such cases, they should be spaced evenly around the area.
Ensure that no unit is positioned in such a way that it blows directly into
another.
For private houses or flats, position the dryer on one floor at a time,
starting at the lowest floor, and closing all internal doors on the floor
previously dried. Continue until all floor levels have been dried.
Note when a particular damp patch is to be dried out the air outlet grille
should be directed towards that area but should NEVER be closer than 1m to the
surface. At no time should the inlet or outlet grilles be covered or
obstructed.
DRAINAGE
Under most operating conditions water will be produced continuously and it
is important that it is drained away correctly and not allowed to spill. Any
spillage will evaporate and will, therefore, have to be recycled through the
dryer again, which in effect, only prolongs the drying period.
PORTABLE CONTAINERS
Position a closed-top container underneath the water discharge pipe
(approximately 8 litres capacity). Place a short length of pipe one end over
the discharge pipe and the other end in the container. Use a transparent
container, this will enable you to check the level of water and so prevent it
from overflowing. As the unit will be running for long periods of time, a
regular check should be made on the container water level.
PERMANENT DRAINAGE
Connect a flexible hose to the water discharge pipe of sufficient length so
that it will reach a permanent drain. The gravity head created will allow for
a gradual fall from the unit to the drain. Ensure that the hose is free of
kinks and is not allowed to rise at any point above the level of the discharge
point from the dehumidifier. Any air locks which may be created, should the
level be raised by the hose passing over obstructions, could cause the water
to “back up” the hose and spill from the dryer.
SWITCHING ON
Check the voltage selection switch is set to the correct voltage. (Dual
voltage machines only) Plug the unit into the power supply and switch it on.
SWITCHING OFF
Turn off the power supply and disconnect.
SPECIAL FEATURES
DEFROST OPERATION
If the ambient temperature of the room the dehumidifier is a condition,
that falls below15°C ice will form on the evaporator coil as the air passes
over it.
Over a period of time, this build-up of ice will affect the efficiency of the
dehumidifier on its ability to maintain the required set conditions within the
room.
The BD70 is therefore fitted with a defrost control device. This defrosts
control device is timed to operate every 55 minutes for a period of 5 minutes.
During the defrost cycle some of the high-pressure hot gas from the compressor
is diverted into the evaporator coil where it melts the ice which has formed
on the evaporator coil.
DUAL VOLTAGE MODELS
The BD70 dehumidifier unit is fitted with a transformer which will allow
the unit to operate on either 110volts or 230volts 1ph 50hz power supply.
This unit is fitted with a 4A manual reset circuit breaker.
All electrical components within the dehumidifier are rated for 110volts, for
safety reasons. The Voltage change over (selector switch) switch, can be found
on the electrical panel at the rear of the unit (air outlet). Remove the cover
for access.

SERVICE
The machine should be serviced by qualified Ebac personnel or other persons
having technical competence in servicing refrigeration equipment following the
instructions in the Ebac Service Manual.
SPARES
Full spare parts listings and Ebac Service Manuals are available upon request
by contacting one of the Ebac Service Centres listed in this manual.
OZONE FRIENDLY
The gas which is used in the hermetically sealed refrigeration circuit is
R134a, which is an HFC and therefore has a zero ozone depletion factor.
However, under NO circumstances should the gas be released into the
atmosphere. The unit should be serviced by trained personnel who will reclaim
any of the removed gas.
DISPOSAL OF THE UNIT
At the end of the machines working life, the refrigerant must be disposed of
in the correct manner.

Due to the high pressures within the refrigeration circuit, under no
circumstances must direct heat be applied to the evaporator coil in an attempt
to remove the build-up of ice.
No attempt should be made to cut open any part of the refrigeration circuit
due to the high pressures and gas involved.
If the unit is switched off at the mains power supply for any reason, the unit
must be allowed to stand at rest for at least three minutes before restarting.
