CAIRfricostar CAU Controller Functional description of the unit Typ CAU 1 Functional description of the unit The CAIRfricostar CAU is mainly designed for private swimming pools and can be delivered in 4 sizes. The unit operates to dehumidify and heat air in swimming pools in a recirculating-air mode. The unit is supplied with a standard electric controls comprising a remote control sensor in the pool area for dehumidification and reset switch. Two LED-lamps indicate operating and error messages of the unit. For energy saving purposes, air is recirculated without being dehumidified in recirculating-air mode and only reduced air flow is heated. In the second speed the unit starts operating with normal air flow and regular dehumidification mode. At the same time the compressor is activated and humid air is dried using the evaporator. In addition air is heated using condenser oil. At this point install the temperature sensor in the pool water circuit. IMPORTANT DAMAGE TO THE UNIT! Please consider that the water flow through pool water condenser is limited to 700 l/h. A larger water flow causes irreparable damage to the pool water condenser. 1.1 Operation mode with dehumidification demand Supply air fan runs at high speed. The necessary transmission heat is supplied by the re-heater coil. Using an optional pool water condenser a certain amount of excess energy can be fed back into swimming pool water.
