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

fl

ow

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

not

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

fl

oat

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

fl

ash

•

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

fl

ash,

•

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)
