A handy dehumidifier with adsorption technology. Adsorption is useful where the room air is cold or where very low humidity levels are to be achieved. The "DS3" is also ideal for quickly drying laundry in cool cellars .
In contrast to condensation dehumidifiers (dehumidifiers with compressors), dehumidifiers with adsorption technology have an almost constant dehumidification performance even at cold temperatures. They require practically no lead time from the start of operation until effective dehumidification begins. Because they are designed without a compressor, these dryers are lightweight at just 7.5 kg. Technologically, the device would still extract water from the air even below freezing point, but then the water in the drip tray freezes, so 0.5°C is the limit for use. Adsorption dryers can also be used to dry easily at warmer temperatures, but the power consumption per litre of water extracted is higher in temperate rooms than with dehumidifiers with compressors (condensation dehumidifiers). The intersection point is around 8-10°C, i.e. below this value, adsorption dryers dry more efficiently, above this value condensation dryers.
Once the target humidity is reached, the dehumidification stops, while the ventilation continues to run for a few minutes until the device has cooled down sufficiently. Dehumidification and ventilation then pause until the humidity in the room rises above the desired target humidity level again. The ventilation is powerful and can be regulated in 3 stages. This is particularly advantageous when drying laundry and speeds it up considerably. The vertically adjustable outlet slats can also be used to direct the dry air in the desired direction. The wind noise is audible even on the lowest setting, so the DS3 is only partially suitable for very quiet bedrooms.
Special function air purification with HEPA filter
The DS3 can also be used as an air purifier. A suitable HEPA filter, available from us, can be placed in the air intake area. This filters the air with a purity rate of over 99.9% and removes all flying particles such as pollen, fine dust, spores, viruses and germs from the air. The air purification mode can run together with the dehumidification mode, but also without dehumidification thanks to the pure air circulation level. The filter can be ordered separately.
Features of the DS3
• Dehumidification capacity of up to 9.5 liters per day.
• Adsorption technology without compressor and without refrigerant.
• Good dehumidification performance even at temperatures as low as 0.5°C.
• Significantly larger water bucket (5 liters) than comparable devices, auto-stop when the tank is full including warning light.
• Electric hygrostat (LED) for regulating and setting the desired humidity.
• Humidity control in 10% steps from approx. 40% to 70% and continuous operation possible.
• In addition to the standard mode, there are the following operating modes: Auto mode; Dry mode (Turbo) and Air purification mode* (additional *HEPA filter required).
• Timer function for selecting the automatic remaining running time or the start time between 1-24 hours.
• Clear display including current humidity display and status overview.
• Also suitable for continuous operation/continuous dehumidification.
• SmartHome capable (via WLAN socket) + can be controlled via external timer (only possible with a few devices).
• Memory function: no adjustments in the event of a power failure (device continues where it was interrupted).
• Possibility for direct hose connection for draining the water into a lower drain (suitable hose: 12mm inner diameter).
• Absolutely maintenance-free.
• Washable, antibacterial air filter.
• Modern design and attractive appearance, therefore also very suitable for living spaces.
• The device is ready for use immediately (no installation or assembly required).
• Comparatively light in weight, easy mobility with side handles.
• Compliance with WEEE standards.
• TÜV “GS” tested as well as CE and EMC conformity.
scope of delivery
The delivery includes the plug-in device and an activated carbon net, which can be inserted in the air intake area and slightly improves the quality of the air during operation. The HEPA filter is optional and not included in the basic delivery.
application examples
• Keeping poorly insulated cellars, garages, boats and caravans dry over the winter
• Drying laundry in cold laundry rooms
• Drying of herbs and spices
