Principle of Operation

The AprilAire Model E080W Wi-Fi Dehumidifier features Wi-Fi enabled technology which offers easy installation, setup, and pairing. Maintenance is made easy through reliable monitoring and enhanced product support. This allows for best-in-class user experience to solve moisture and high humidity.

The AprilAire E080W Wi-Fi Dehumidifier is designed to dehumidify the air coming into the unit by passing the incoming air over an evaporator coil to drop the air temperature below the dew point of the air. Moisture is removed from the air and drained out of the unit to a common floor or waste drain. The air is then reheated in the condenser coil and exits the unit.

Dehumidification occurs until the set point is reached, then shuts off until periodic sampling determines a need for operation.

Application

The E080W Wi-Fi Dehumidifier is perfect for a wide range of applications, including whole-home dehumidification and control of moisture in basements and crawl spaces.

The AprilAire Model E080W Wi-Fi Dehumidifier offers:

• Turn-Key Provisioning: Built-in control w/bluetooth
• Intuitive Controls: Enhanced, digital interface and app integration for ongoing monitoring and maintenance
• Integration with AprilAire Healthy Air App for alerts, diagnosis, and updates

Circulation

The E080W can also be programmed to circulate the air within a crawl space. This evens out relative humidity levels and temperature in the space, eliminating variations in the environment.

Installation Options

Shown in horizontal applications, can be installed in vertical applications as well.

Main Return to Main Return - RECOMMENDED

This application can be used when a supply duct is not available. Air is pulled from the return duct, dehumidified, and returned to the return duct. Assures that the dehumidified air is mixed with rest of the air in the duct before it re-enters the house. This application is for whole-home dehumidification.

Dedicated Return to Main Supply or Dedicated Return to A/C Return

This application can be used when a return or supply duct is not available. Air is pulled through a dedicated return grille, dehumidified, and returned to the supply plenum or return. This application is for whole-home dehumidification.
