Phoenix 270HTx LGR Dehumidifier

Automatic Bypass Technology:
Above 80°F - When used in high temperature conditions the refrigerant pressure inside the condenser rises. The automatic bypass door slowly opens between 80°F and 90°F to direct additional airflow over the condenser, and direct less airflow across the evaporator. Redirecting the airflow lowers the refrigerant pressure in the condenser while also slowing down the air across the evaporator. Lower airflow across the evaporator allows the air to reach its dew point.

Between 50°F and 80°F - When used in normal operating temperature ranges (50°F to 80°F), the automatic bypass door remains closed. This allows increased airflow across the evaporator and increases performance by increasing the amount of air that is dehumidified.

Below 50°F - When the Phoenix 270HTx is used in very cool operating temperatures, frost will form on the evaporator coil as it dehumidifies. When enough frost forms the solid states controls will initiate a defrost cycle. The defrost cycle periodically turns off the compressor while allowing the blower to run. The automatic bypass door will remain closed in this operating range. Increased airflow and static pressure will help defrost the evaporator more quickly and efficiently.

Typical LGR's normally lose their effectiveness in higher temperatures. This patented technology offers several advantages to the restorer, including faster evaporation rates, quicker drying, and elimination of the need to remove or modify equipment for temperature control.

Downward focused exhaust airflow directs dehumidified low grain air toward the floor, while a raised base improves drying directly under the dehumidifier. The Phoenix 270HTx also features a recessed condensate outlet, inboard wheels, increased airflow with higher static pressure and an improved skid plate design.
