The moisture absorbing wheel inside the rotary dehumidifier is its core component, and its service life is affected by various factors, including material quality, usage environment, operating frequency, and maintenance. The following is a detailed explanation of the service life of the wheel:
1. The lifespan of the wheel General lifespan:
Under normal use and maintenance, the lifespan of the wheel is usually 5 to 10 years.
Influencing factors:
● Operating environment: In high temperature, high humidity, or heavily polluted environments, the wheel may age faster.
● Operating frequency: Continuous high-intensity operation will shorten the lifespan of the wheel.
● Maintenance: Regular cleaning and maintenance can significantly extend the lifespan of the wheel.
2. Performance of wheel aging:
When the wheel approaches its service life, the following phenomena may occur:
● Decreased dehumidification efficiency: The moisture absorption capacity of the impeller weakens, and the dehumidification effect deteriorates.
● Increased energy consumption: Due to the decreased moisture absorption performance of the impeller, the equipment needs to operate for a longer period of time to achieve the target humidity, resulting in an increase in energy consumption.
● Odor or pollution: The impeller may adsorb pollutants in the air and may produce odor after long-term use.
3. Methods to extend the service life of the wheel:
● Regular cleaning:
Check and clean the wheel every 3-6 months to avoid the accumulation of dust and pollutants.
● Replace the filter screen:
Regularly replace or clean the air filter to prevent dust from entering the impeller.
● Avoid high temperature and high humidity environments:
When used in extreme environments, maintenance needs to be strengthened.
● Reasonable operation:
Avoid prolonged overload operation and take appropriate breaks by stopping the machine.
4. Wheel replacement:
● Replacement timing:
When the dehumidification efficiency of the impeller significantly decreases or irreparable damage occurs, the impeller needs to be replaced.
● Replacement cost:
The impeller is the core component of the impeller dehumidifier, and the replacement cost is relatively high, usually accounting for 20% -40% of the total equipment cost.
● Professional replacement:
It is recommended to contact the manufacturer or professional technicians for replacement to ensure correct installation and normal operation of the equipment.
5. The lifespan of wheels made of different materials:
● Silicone Wheel:
The lifespan is generally 5-8 years, suitable for conventional industrial environments.
● Molecular sieve impeller:
The lifespan is generally 8-10 years, suitable for environments with extremely high humidity requirements (such as lithium battery production).
Summary:
The lifespan of the impeller in a rotary dehumidifier is usually between 5 to 10 years, depending on the usage environment, maintenance, and operating conditions. By regular cleaning and proper use, the lifespan of the wheel can be effectively extended. Timely replacement is the key to ensuring efficient operation of equipment when the wheel ages or is damaged.
