The Fral F96 dehumidifier is a robust dryer for construction, trade, and industry. It has a very powerful performance and is also suitable as a large area dehumidifier for rooms up to 200m² (or 500m³) starting from 1°C! Relatively quiet operation. New: factory-prepared direct connection for optional condensate pump.
Due to well-developed hot gas defrosting, the F96 is operational down to just above freezing point. Also very noticeable is its good performance in low humidity ranges, where the F96 still extracts water from the air thanks to tube evaporators, in which other dryers have long ceased to produce a drop (according to our tests, clearly below the threshold of 30% relative humidity).
service
The settings are made via the clear, easy-to-use display. By pressing a button, the desired target humidity can be selected in the range of 30%-80% r.H. in 1% increments, and continuous operation is also possible. The entered values are automatically saved, so that the dryer resumes operation with unchanged settings as soon as the power returns in the event of a power outage.
During operation, the display shows the currently measured humidity in the room. When the desired target humidity is reached, the drying operation pauses (the ventilation also turns off).
The operating hours can be queried at the push of a button.
airway
The humid room air is drawn in at the back of the device and cleaned through an industrial, easy-to-clean air filter. The dry air is blown out towards the front into the room.
Condensate bucket and pump connection
The condensate is collected in the removable 14-liter bucket, with a magnetic float automatically interrupting operation when full. Alternatively, there are two options for draining the condensate via a direct hose connection: either the hose is connected directly to the water bucket without any additional accessories, or it can be screwed onto a coupling at the bottom of the drip tray. Additionally, a magnetically adhering condensate pump can be used (optional accessory, not included in the basic delivery). The power supply for this pump is provided via a factory-prepared socket directly on the dehumidifier, ensuring that it automatically switches off if the pump malfunctions.
The F96 is mounted on 2 stable wheels and features a metal handle for easier mobility. Due to its size and the massive metal casing, it may need to be carried by two people up stairs.
It is suitable
• as a construction dryer
• Large area dehumidifiers for commercial and industrial use
• for dehumidification of basements up to 200m² and in case of water damage
• for unattended continuous operation
• for operation on a timer
Performance and Consumption
The dryer can be used thanks to advanced hot gas defrosting over a wide temperature range from +1°C to +32°C, although, as with all condensation dryers, the dehumidifying power decreases in cooler environments. Examples of dehumidification performance and consumption under various (constant) ambient conditions:
30°C/80% r.H.: 80 liters (60%: 54 liters)
20°C/80% r.H.: 45 liters (60%: 30 liters)
15°C/80% r.H.: 31 liters (60%: 21 liters)
10°C/80% r.H.: 26 liters (60%: 19 liters)
5°C/80% r.H.: 19 liters (60%: 7 liters)
