A compact 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 quick laundry drying in cool basements..
In contrast to condensation dehumidifiers (dehumidifiers with a compressor), dehumidifiers with adsorption technology have an almost constant dehumidification performance even at low temperatures. They require virtually no lead time from startup until effective dehumidification begins. Due to their compressor-free design, these dryers are lightweight at only 7.5 kg. Technologically, the device would even extract water from the air below freezing point; however, the water then freezes in the collection tray, making 0.5°C the limit for use. Even at warmer temperatures, drying with adsorption dryers is straightforward, but the power consumption per liter of water extracted in temperate rooms is higher than that of compressor dehumidifiers (condensation dehumidifiers). The crossover point is around 8-10°C, meaning that below this value, adsorption dryers are more efficient, while above it, condensation dryers are more effective.
Once the target humidity is reached, the dehumidification operation stops, while the ventilation continues for a few more minutes until the device has cooled down sufficiently. Subsequently, dehumidification and ventilation pause until the humidity in the room rises above the desired target humidity level again. The ventilation is powerful and can be adjusted in 3 stages. This is particularly advantageous when drying laundry and significantly speeds up the process. With the vertically adjustable air outlet louver, the dry air can also be directed in the desired direction. The wind noise is audible even at 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 airborne particles such as pollen, fine dust, spores, viruses, and germs from the air. The air purification mode can run together with the dehumidification operation, but also without dehumidification thanks to the pure air circulation level. The filter can be ordered individually.
Characteristics of the DS3
• Dehumidification capacity of up to 9.5 liters per day.
• Adsorption technology without a compressor and without refrigerants.
• already at cool 0.5°C a good dehumidification performance.
• significantly larger water bucket (5 liters) than comparable devices, auto-stop when full tank including warning light.
• Electric hygrostat (LED) for regulating and setting the desired humidity.
• Humidity control in 10% steps from approx. 40% to 70% as well as 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 to select the automatic remaining 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 switch (only possible with a few devices).
• Memory function: no adjustments during power failure (device continues from where it was interrupted).
• Possibility for direct hose connection for draining water into a lower outlet (suitable hose: 12mm inner diameter).
• Absolutely maintenance-free.
• Washable, antibacterial air filter.
• Modern design and appealing appearance, therefore also very suitable for living spaces.
• The device is immediately ready for use (no installation or assembly required).
• Comparatively light in weight, easy mobility with side grip recesses.
• Fulfillment of the WEEE standards.
• TÜV "GS" tested as well as CE and EMC conformity.
scope of delivery
The delivery includes the ready-to-plug-in device as well as an activated carbon net, which can be placed in the air intake area and slightly improves the air quality during operation. The HEPA filter is optional and is not included in the basic delivery.
application examples
• Drying of poorly insulated basements, garages, boats, caravans during the winter season
