Danby DPAC10071 - Cooling Operation

Cooling
Operation:
During air conditioning mode
condensed
water
accumulates in
a pre-cooler drip tray located
underneath
the
evaporator
(cooling) coil. When the
water level reaches
a
predetermined level,
the water
flow is directed into
a
small (well) holding tank
located
at
the
bottom of
the
unit.
When the water
level in the well begins to fill, a water pump
is
automatically activated
that pumps
the water
up to
the
condenser coil and is subsequently cascaded
across
the fins of the condenser coil.
This showering action is very efficient in terms
of;
1) Keeping the condenser coil cool during operation.
2) Provides maximum
cooling efficiency.
As the
water
cascades
across the heated fins of the
condenser coil, it is
evaporated. This process
minimizes accumulated water from being
stored,
which results in longer running times and less
frequent emptying
of
the water tanks.
This process is continuous during air conditioning
mode
only.
NOTE: If
the
external bucket
is
fiQI
installed - During
high
humidity conditions, if the rate of water being
condensed
exceeds the
rate
of
water
being
evaporated, the water level inside the internal
reservoir will activate a float switch mechanism
(safety shut-off), causing the unit to stop/cease
operation automatically. In
this event,
• the red “water full” indicator light on the control
panel will begin to flash
• and a
warning
beep will sound.
Installing
the
external water tank during this
condition will activate
a
secondary
pump that will
drain
the
water
from the
internal
reservoir to the
external
bucket, allowing the water level in the
internal
reservoir to return to normal and allows the
unit to resume operation. When
the water level
inside the external tank reaches
it’s maximum level,
• the red “water full” indicator light
on the control
panel will
begin to flash,
• the
bucket icon will illuminate in the display
area
• and a warning
beep
will
sound.
The unit will
stop/cease
operation
automatically and
the external tank will
have to be emptied. The fan
motor will continue to operate. (this
is normal)
