Comedes Dehumidifier BTR 50

Operation & Condensate Drainage on the Construction Site

In daily building drying and restoration work, the BTR 50 can run for extended periods. Collected condensate accumulates either in the collection container or, with proper setup, can be drained continuously via the designated hose connection. When the water tank is full, the integrated protection function automatically shuts down the device.

The BTR 50 is engineered for applications with elevated moisture levels. These include dehumidifying shell constructions and basements, supporting new building drying, and drying rooms during renovation work. The unit can also be used in commercial settings to reduce high humidity.

The Comedes BTR 50 achieves a dehumidification capacity of up to 51 liters per 24 hours at 30 °C and 80% relative humidity. Actual water extraction may be lower depending on temperature and humidity levels in the operating room.

Automatic hot gas defrosting supports operation at lower temperatures by automatically melting ice build-up on the evaporator. As a result, the BTR 50 is suitable for use in cooler basements and unheated shell constructions, provided operating conditions remain within allowable limits.

Yes. The BTR 50 can be used to support building drying, such as dehumidifying rooms during shell construction or renovation. For heavily saturated building components, major water damage, or special drying requirements, a professional assessment and tailored drying concept may be required.

Condensation generated during dehumidification can be routed continuously to a suitable drain via the designated hose connection. If there is insufficient natural slope, an external condensate pump may be required depending on the installation setup.

The BTR 50 is designed for higher dehumidification needs in construction, basement, and restoration environments. Features like the sheet steel housing, castors, automatic hot gas defrosting, and continuous condensate drainage distinguish it from typical residential dehumidifiers. For living spaces with lower moisture levels, smaller units such as models from the Comedes Demecto series are often sufficient.

Yes. For extended operation, condensate can be continuously drained via the integrated hose connection. When using the collection container, the device automatically shuts off when full via its integrated safety function. Operation should be conducted according to the user manual and specified operating conditions.

A condensate pump is useful when water cannot be drained via natural gravity. It allows condensation to be pumped to a higher drain point, facilitating flexible setup of the building dehumidifier across various operational scenarios.
