80-litre construction dehumidifier with condensate pump, for 60–80 m², BT-80 Professional Dehumidifier

BT-80 construction dehumidifier with condensate pump

The dehumidifier for professional indoor use!

The BT-80 is designed for a wide range of environmental conditions and is both reliable and efficient.
Thanks to its high dehumidification capacity of up to 80 litres per day, it is also suitable for larger rooms with an area of up to 80 m² or a volume of up to 200 m³. The operating temperature range is between 5°C and 35°C, and the permissible relative humidity is between 30% and 80%.
The control unit fitted to the BT-80 is characterised by its simplicity, user-friendliness and integrated operating hours counter.

Thanks to the environmentally friendly refrigerant propane (R 290) and an impressive air circulation rate of 1,000 m³/h, the BT-80 building dehumidifier operates very efficiently and reliably. Its freezing pressure of 0.8 MPa and vapour pressure of 2.8 MPa optimise performance.
Additional safety features include automatic fault diagnosis and an automatic shut-off function.
The BT-80 is fitted with a T3 15 A fuse and has a sound power level of 55 to 60 dB(A), making it well suited for indoor use.
Despite its high dehumidification capacity, the BT-80 has compact dimensions and weighs just 45 kg.

The BT-80 is fitted with a condensate pump that automatically transfers the water produced during dehumidification to a drain pipe or a suitably sized collection container. This enables continuous and convenient operation of the BT-80.

Note
Our BT-80 building dehumidifier is supplied with a condensate hose 1 m long, with an internal diameter of 6 mm and an external diameter of 8 mm. If required, this hose can be extended to a maximum delivery height of 2 m up to 20 m, or replaced with a different hose.

Refrigerant
The use of propane (R 290) as a refrigerant in our building dehumidifiers offers various environmental, economic and technical advantages:

• Environmental friendliness: Propane is characterised by a low global warming potential, making it a more environmentally friendly alternative to many traditional refrigerants. It contributes only to a limited extent to global warming and has minimal ozone-depleting potential, meaning it causes less damage to the ozone layer than traditional refrigerants.
• Efficiency: Propane is known for its high cooling capacity and energy efficiency. Construction dehumidifiers powered by propane can therefore operate very effectively, which not only improves dehumidification performance but also reduces running costs.
• Technical advantages: Propane is a versatile refrigerant that can be used in a variety of applications. It has a high evaporation temperature and high pressure, making it suitable for applications that require high operating temperatures.
• Construction dehumidifiers in the building trade: how they solve damp problems quickly and effectively

Construction dehumidifiers are an indispensable tool in the building trade, particularly during the refurbishment and renovation of buildings. When it comes to removing moisture from a room or building, a construction dehumidifier is the best tool for the job.

A construction dehumidifier is a device that draws air through a filter and then passes it through a cooling system, which in turn extracts the moisture from the air. The dry air is then returned to the room, thereby reducing the humidity level. Most construction dehumidifiers are portable and can be easily moved from one room to another, making them ideal for use in the trades.

There are many reasons why a tradesperson should use a construction dehumidifier. One of the most common reasons is to dry out rooms following a flood or water damage. In such cases, moisture can quickly penetrate walls, floors and ceilings, causing serious damage. A construction dehumidifier can help to remove this moisture quickly before it causes permanent damage.
Another reason why tradespeople use construction dehumidifiers is to prepare surfaces for painting or plastering. A damp surface can prevent paint or plaster from adhering properly. Using a building dehumidifier removes moisture from the surface, ensuring that the paint or plaster adheres better and a smoother finish is achieved.

Building dehumidifiers are essential for any tradesperson dealing with damp problems in buildings. Whether renovating old buildings or repairing water damage, a building dehumidifier can solve the problem quickly and effectively and ensure a smooth construction or renovation process.

Monitoring operating hours
In modern construction dehumidifiers such as the BT series, monitoring operating hours is essential. The digital operating hours counter records and stores this data, which is particularly important for the following aspects:

• Documentation of running time: Accuraterecording of operating hours enables precise planning of maintenance work to maximise the efficiency and service life of the construction dehumidifiers.
• Insurance claims: Insurance companies often require accurate documentation of operating times. The digital operating hours counter makes it easier to meet these requirements and ensures a swift and precise settlement of claims.
• Cost control and billing: When renting out BT construction dehumidifiers, the operating hours record serves as the basis for fair and transparent billing of usage fees.

By using the digital operating hours counter in the BT series, users benefit from increased transparency and control, which helps to optimise operating costs and ensure compliance with maintenance intervals.

5 important tips for safe and effective use
When using construction dehumidifiers, there are a few important points to bear in mind to ensure optimum performance and safety:

• Room temperature: Construction dehumidifiers should be used at room temperatures between 5 and 32 degrees Celsius to ensure optimum performance. At lower temperatures, the efficiency of the unit may be impaired.
• Ventilation: Windows and doors should be kept closed whilst dehumidifying.
• Maintenance: Construction dehumidifiers must be serviced regularly to ensure optimum performance. Maintenance essentially involves regularly cleaning the air filters and checking for dirt or damage.
• Safety: Construction dehumidifiers must be used safely to prevent fires or other hazards. This means that the unit must not be operated near flammable materials, the air being dehumidified must not contain solvents or other hazardous substances, and the manufacturer’s operating instructions must be followed precisely.
• Duration: Construction dehumidifiers should not be used continuously, as very dry air can lead to health problems. It is therefore important to use the unit only for as long as necessary and then switch it off or remove it.

If tradespeople take these factors into account, they can ensure that they use their building dehumidifiers effectively and safely to resolve damp problems in buildings.
