Drying in case of problems with condensation
Condensation dampness usually occurs in cellars when damp air enters the cellar in
summer and condenses on the cold cellar walls. We recommend to dehumidify the
cellar room by room first in continuous operation. Let the unit run in continuous
operation at first until you notice that the amount of water that you drain from the
tank every day becomes less. Now place the unit in the next room. Once you have
dried all rooms, we recommend that you select a central installation location and
operate the unit in automatic mode. We recommend a humidity setting of about 50-
60%. This type of dehumidification is more energy-efficient than dehumidifying
immediately in automatic mode, as the unit then switches off and on very frequently.
Drying in case of construction defects or water damage
In the case of construction defects and water damage, the cause should first be
eliminated. Afterwards, the rooms can be dried with condensation dryers, such as the
Demecto 70. Here, the dehumidifier is operated continuously. The ambient
temperature should be at least 20°C (no more than 27°C). If
is necessary, can be heated by electric heaters. Gas heaters are not suitable! To
create the necessary air circulation, the use of fans in the room helps.
Please note that depending on the construction defect, drying of the insulation layer
may also be necessary. This must be carried out by a specialist company.
Recommended air humidity for rooms
Basically this depends on the ambient temperature. The higher the temperature of
the room, the lower the relative humidity should be set, otherwise mould growth in
the room is favoured. The pleasant air humidity varies, depending on the ambient
temperature, from 35% to 65% relative humidity.
The following diagram gives an indication of which air humidity is optimal at which
ambient temperatures.
