Apparatus for dehumidifying air
DCFirst Claim
1. An apparatus for dehumidifying air comprising a frame, dehumidifying means on said frame for dehumidifying air, and collecting means on said frame for collecting condensate generated while dehumidifying the air, said collecting means comprising at least one discharge means for discharging said condensate and comprising a tank having at least one detector means adapted to detect the presence of condensate inside the tank and at least one ejection means for ejecting said condensate from said tank, said ejection means comprising a high head pump for discharging said condensate from said tank outside said frame at a level higher than that of said tank, said pump being a low capacity and high pressure vibration pump having anti-vibration members for avoiding transmission of vibrations and having safety means adapted to stop operation at least in case of clogging of a delivery or intake duct of the pump.

- 8. A process for operating a dehumidifying apparatus which comprises a dehumidifying means on a frame for dehumidifying air, a collecting means on the frame for collecting condensate generated during the dehumidifying of the air and a discharge means for discharging condensate outside the frame at a level at least higher than the height of the collecting means, said process comprising discharging said condensate to at least a first, a second and a third level with respect to the height of a base plane supporting said apparatus, said first level being substantially lower than said base plane, said second level being substantially at the same height of said base plane, said third level being substantially higher than said base plane.
