1.7 Steam supply
The quality of water determines the quality of steam produced. It is important that a good quality steam
supply, at the correct temperature and pressure, is available for a reliable operation of the steam heater.
Disregarding this can lead to degradation of the heater performance and eventually to failure.
The following impurities are common in the feed water:
■ Dissolved solids – which can cause scale to form on equipment. The principal dissolved solids are
carbonate and sulphates of calcium and magnesium.
■ Suspended solids – these can cause sludge to form in the boiler. Suspended solids are usually solid
mineral or organic particles carried in suspension in the water.
■ Dissolved gases – these can cause corrosion in equipment. The dissolved gases are oxygen and carbon
dioxide.
■ Frothing substances that can cause contamination and corrosion of the equipment. The frothing
substances creates a foam that usually contains soda in the form of carbonates, chlorides or sulphates.
Correct water treatment is required to remove the impurities in the feed water. If the impurities are not
removed there could be an overflow of boiler water into the steam system.

2 Dehumidifier design
2.1 Product description
The desiccant dehumidifier has been designed to effectively dehumidify the air in environments requiring
low air humidity.
All functional components are enclosed in a corrosion resistant Aluzink® casing (standard) or stainless steel
casing (option) which makes installation and maintenance easy. The unit is constructed on a steel base frame
which allows the use of a fork-lift truck during transportation and installation.
The electrical control system complies with standard EN 60204-1. The electrical components are mounted
on bus bars. The dehumidifier is manufactured according to European standards and the established
requirements for CE-marking.

4. Wet air
The desiccant rotor is the adsorption dehumidifying component in the unit. The rotor structure is
comprised of a large number of small air channels.
The desiccant rotor is made of a composite material that is highly effective in attracting and retaining water
vapour. The rotor is divided in two zones. The airflow to be dehumidified, process air, passes through the
largest zone of the rotor and then leaves the rotor as dry air. Since the rotor rotates slowly, the incoming air
always meets a dry zone on the rotor, thus creating a continuous dehumidification process.
The airflow that is used to dry the rotor, reactivation air, is heated. The reactivation air passes through
the rotor in the opposite direction to the process air and leaves the rotor as wet air (warm, moist air). This
principle enables the dehumidifier to work effectively, even at freezing temperatures.

An installed bypass damper kit allows a fixed airflow to be used when the process airflow exceeds the
maximum rotor flow capacity. The bypass function consists of an adjustable damper positioned in the
bypass airflow channel. The bypass airflow channel is integrated with the unit and passes under the rotor.
NOTE! The bypass damper should only be adjusted by specially trained personnel.

Figure 2.9 Principle for Energy Recovery Purge and Energy Efficiency Purge
Energy Recovery Purge (ERP) and Energy Efficiency Purge (EEP) are two energy saving solutions that
recycles heat from the rotor, after the reactivation section in the rotational direction of the rotor. A minor
part of the reactivation airflow is bypassed to the warm sector of the rotor, before the airflow enters the
reactivation heater. The airflow is heated up by the rotor and then mixed with the reactivation airflow, after
the reactivation heater. The recycled heat from the rotor increases the efficiency and reduces the energy
consumption.
Compared to a standard unit, ERP will give the same dehumidification capacity with reduced reactivation
heater energy. With EEP, the reactivation heater energy is the same as in a standard unit, while the
dehumidification capacity is increased.
The purge airflow duct on MX² 30 is installed on the rear side of the unit. The purge airflow (ERP, EEP,
LDP) can be adjusted with a damper installed on the duct.
MX² 30
The purge airflow duct on MX² 35–95 is located inside the unit and the purge airflow (ERP, EEP) cannot be
adjusted. An adjustable damper for Low Dewpoint Purge is located on top of the unit.

7. Adjustable damper
Low Dewpoint Purge (LDP) is used to enable extra low dewpoints. A minor part of the process airflow is
forced through a smaller sector of the rotor which, according to the rotor rotation direction, is positioned
directly after the reactivation sector. The result is that a part of the process air is taken off (purge air) and the
rotor material is cooled down before it is exposed to the dry air outlet sector. The warm purge airflow which
is drawn from the smaller sector of the rotor passes an adjustable damper and enters the reactivation air just
before the reactivation heater. This makes drying of the rotor more efficient.
NOTE! The purge airflow setting is application dependent and should only be adjusted by specially trained
personnel during the commissioning to obtain the desired dry air dewpoint. A general recommendation is that the
purge airflow represents 10 % of the total process airflow.
NOTE! The adjustable damper is set from the factory and should only be adjusted by specially trained personnel.
CAUTION!
Never climb on, or place any objects on the dehumidifier.
WARNING!
Installation, adjustments, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by qualified personnel who are
aware of the risks involved when working with equipment operating with high electrical voltage and high machine
temperatures.
WARNING!
Move the dehumidifier carefully as there is a risk of the dehumidifier tipping over.

3.7 Foundation
The dehumidifier must be installed on a level floor, or platform, which has been designed with a floor
loading capacity capable of supporting the machine’s weight. If the maximum floor loading weight is not
exceeded, special foundations are not required.
When the dehumidifier has been installed, it should be checked that it is level. If local regulations require that
the unit is permanently fixed in position, the fixing holes can be used for bolting the unit to the floor.

3.8 Steam regulation
NOTE! Steam regulation setting must only be changed by authorised personnel. Contact Munters for more
information.
For dehumidifiers with steam reactivation heater, the dehumidification capacity/reactivation heater effect
can be regulated according to the two different principles described below.
1. Steam pressure regulation: The steam pressure in the steam heater is regulated by a modulating
reducing valve on the steam inlet. As this regulating principle result in a narrow regulating range for
the reactivation temperature, it is not suitable if the dehumidifier will run for long periods with low
dehumidification need.
2. Variable reactivation flow: Steam pressure and condensation temperature remains constant all the
time. The steam control valve is operated with an ON/OFF-function. Dehumidification capacity and
reactivation power is controlled by varying reactivation flow, this by means of variable-speed control on
the reactivation fan. The reactivation flow can be down-regulated from rated flow to a small flow limited
by the fan motor's minimum speed, or the air distribution in the reactivation sector.
When the steam control valve closes, the steam flow to the heater is shut-off. This can be selected when
there is no need for dehumidification, or when the dehumidifier is turned off.
In order to limit the reactivation temperature when the reactivation airflow is low, the steam supply
pressure must not exceed 4–5 barg.
See 8.3, Dimensions and service space for dimensions. See 8.4, Technical data for steam data.
The following components must be installed as part of the steam supply system to ensure problem-free
operation:
■ A separator for removing contaminants and fluid from incoming steam. The separator removes fluids
that can negatively affect the heat transmission surface or cause erosion damage.
■ A steam control valve for opening and closing the steam flow through the heater. When regulating
with steam pressure, the valve is used for adjusting the steam flow. For all types of control valves, it is
important that they open slowly to reduce the risk of hydraulic shock, thermal strains and erosion that
can damage the heat exchanger. It is recommended to use an equal percentage valve to obtain a slow
opening action. The valve actuator must have an opening time of no less than 120 seconds.
■ When the steam control valve has a modulating function, the pressure drop across the valve affects
the steam pressure to the steam heater, and therefore the temperature that can be achieved. Obey this
when designing a control valve.
■ A vacuum breaker shall be installed on the steam inlet to make it possible to drain condensate upon
shut-down and when operating with low power consumption.
■ The steam trap must be a float type, preferably with built-in thermal de-aerator. A thermostatic trap
must not be used.
20 Installation 190TEN–1089–G1412
■ A non-return valve must be installed in the condensate return line to prevent condensate from returning
to the heater and to protect against any hammering in the condensate system. This applies if the
condensate return line has condensate from more than one steam trap as there could be differing
pressures and temperatures and/or to protect against return flow when condensate is "lifted" to the
condensate tank.
■ Both the inlet and outlet lines must have expansion bends to compensate for thermal expansion. All
pipework must be independently supported close to the dehumidifier to prevent strain on the steam
heater.
■ If the air temperature drops below +7 °C and there is a risk of freezing, a thermostat must be installed
directly after the heater in the airflow direction. The thermostat must be a two-stage type with a long,
temperature sensing capillary tube. The capillary tube is active along its entire length, and must be
installed so it covers the sectional area efficiently. The thermostat reacts to the lowest temperature
present along the capillary tube length, that is where the gas in the thermostat system condensates.
At the air temperature +7 °C, the reactivation effect should increase and a warning-type of alarm
be triggered. If the temperature drops further to +3 °C, the thermostat should switch off the
dehumidification system so that the reactivation airflow ceases and an alarm is triggered.
In addition to the above, installation of the following components is recommended to facilitate operation
and maintenance:
■ De-aerator to ventilate any oxygen or other gases in the steam supply.
■ Shut-off valves.
■ A manometer to indicate the steam pressure at the heater.
■ A thermometer, capable of withstanding the line pressure, to indicate the full scale of the steam supply.
■ Filters to restrict unwanted impurities.
■ An extra shut-off valve downstream of the condensate trap. This to facilitate installation of a
manometer, which would quickly indicate any counter pressure in the condensate system in the event
of any malfunctions during operation.
NOTE! If a manometer is installed in the steam line, the full scale reading must be 1,5 times the line pressure
where it is installed.

NOTE! All pipework must be supported to ensure minimal strain on the connections.
NOTE! It is important that the control valve does not open too quickly, including during "On/Off" control as this
might damage the steam heater and other components.
WARNING!
When the steam control valve opens, no condensate must remain in the steam heater. During downtime, the
pressure in the heater must not prevent draining of the heater.
NOTE! It is important that the condensate return line does not have too high counter pressure, and that it is
installed at a downward slope from the steam heater outlet all the way to the open condensate tank. This to make
drain of condensate easier.
If this is not possible due to external conditions, the risk of stalling must be minimised by installing a condensate
pump or a component with the same function.
When installing ductwork between the dehumidifier and the inlet and outlet connections, the following
recommendations should be observed:
■ The length of ductwork should be kept as short as possible to minimise static air pressure losses.
■ To maintain performance, all rigid process or reactivation air ductwork joints must be air and vapour
tight.
■ The process air ductwork must be insulated to prevent condensation developing on the outside of the
duct, whenever the temperature of the air within the duct falls below the dewpoint temperature of the
ambient air through which the ductwork is routed.
■ The ducts must always be insulated when there is a risk of freezing.
■ The wet air leaving the dehumidifier will, because of high moisture content, condense on the inside duct
walls. By insulating the ducts, the amount of condensate is reduced.
190TEN–1089–G1412 Installation 23
■ Horizontal wet air ducts must be installed with a slight decline (away from the dehumidifier) to drain
away possible condensation. Suitable condensation drains should be installed at low points in the wet
air outlet duct, see Figure 3.5 .
■ Ensure that access for operation and servicing is not restricted when designing and installing ducting.
For more information, see section 8.3, Dimensions and service space.
■ To reduce noise and/or vibrations being transmitted along rigid ducts, good quality, airtight flexible
connections can be fitted.
■ Ducts mounted directly onto the dehumidifier should be adequately supported to minimise the load and
stress due to the weight and movement of the ducting.
■ The total pressure drop in the process and reactivation ductwork must not exceed the available pressure
of the fans fitted to the dehumidifier. For details of minimum available static pressure, see section
8.4, Technical data.
24 Installation 190TEN–1089–G1412
3.11.2 Duct for outdoor air inlet
When bringing ambient air from outdoors into the dehumidifier, the inlet duct opening must be located
sufficiently high above ground level to prevent dust and debris from entering.
The ducting must be designed to prevent rain and snow from being drawn into the dehumidifier. The air
inlet must be located away from possible contaminants such as engine exhaust gases, steam and harmful
vapours.
To prevent the wet (outlet) air from humidifying the reactivation (inlet) air, the air inlet for reactivation must
be located at least 2 m from the wet air outlet.
Attach a wire net with a mesh width of approximately 10 mm in the outer end of the duct to prevent animals
from entering the dehumidifier ducting.

5.2 General
The mode switch on the control panel has two operating positions:
■ AUTO (Automatic position): The dehumidifier’s fans, rotor and reactivation heater are activated only
when the humidity exceeds the desired value (the set point). If continual process air operation is selected
in the control system, the process air fan continues to run even after the unit has stopped dehumidifying.
■ MAN (Max effect position): The dehumidifier’s fans, rotor and reactivation heater operate continuously
at full capacity.
Remote start/stop
If remote start/stop is connected, the mode switch must be set to position AUTO in order to run the
dehumidifier.
External control
If the dehumidifier is regulated via an external signal, the fans and drive motor start when the "remote start"
switch is closed, regardless of the present humidity. In order to operate the dehumidifier, the external signal
must be >1 V. The reactivation heater is regulated via the input signal.
On delivery the dehumidifier is set to restart automatically after a power cut.
