WATER-SIDED CONNECTIONS
Discharge of the condensation water
The unit will also dehumidify the air during cooling. The moisture extracted from the air comes into the conden-
sation drain. The condensation drain is connected to a sturdy garden hose or a pipeline that does not bend
easily. The condensation water drips from the hose, which can be connected to the drain pipe. The condensate
can also be used as feed water. The cooling block has been adjusted to prevent metals or oxides from entering
the condensate. This is ideal when the only feed water available is hard water.
The drain pipe of the condensation water may not have loops and may not be put under the water level in a
drum. If the unit is installed at the same level or lower than the drain or sewer, a condensation lift pump can
collect the water.
This small lift pump pumps the water through a hose of 9mm to a height of 4 metres into the drain. Stronger
pumps are also available.
The drain to the pump must not be under the water level and the pipe may not have loops as shown above.
It’s possible that too much air is sucked in through the condensation water pipe causing the condensate water
not to drain properly.
Then there is too much resistance in the intake system. Dimension hoses of e.g. a plenum box as large as
possible and ensure that during operation all panels are mounted on the unit. A special syphon can also be
mounted. Ask your dealer.
