Domestic Series FAQ

Q. How much water can it maker?
A. From 1-55 liters per hourpending on temp and RH.

Q. What is the range in temp and humidity?
A. On electric model ; 6C and 30%. On Natural gas 1c and 25%RH

Q. Is it automatic?
A. Yes you can set the mode switch to Auto and the machine self starts and stops the water making mode when conditions are not desirable and switch to heat when required.

Q. What happens in Heat mode?
A. The machine will not make water when engaged in a heat cycle. This cycle is governed by the operator in the settings available. E.g. some people may want the heat cycle on at a higher temp than others.

Q. Can you make water in cold conditions?
A. Yes but not on Auto mode as this mode will turn the machine automatically onto heat mode as require and stop any water making ability as the Relative outside temperature
drops.

Q. How can I make water in Cold conditions?
A. Turn Machine to water maker only. The machine if able will make water down to 44F or 7C on electric and 4C on Gas. The machine will not be able to heat the house.

Q. Can I have the Air Conditioner only engaged?
A. Yes.

Q. Can it be zoned?
A. Yes at very little cost. Simple dampeners are used in Zones as apposed to whole air handlers and more chillers in side passage. Typical zones in a large house like say 3 zones in a 600 sq meter house would consist of say a 4 tone, a 3.2 tone and a 2.5 tone units amounting to considerable expense of upwards of 3 separate systems. The Never Dry air water maker remains the same unit. A small cost would be added for the controller to handle 2 or more zones. These zones are controlled by thermostats supplied


Q. What's the difference between the Never Dry system and ducting for a standard central air zoned system?
A. We make water; we require intake air from the outside not inside the roof. ;We require and exhaust duct for unwanted air that has been run through the machine but is not required to air con a house. The machine will always exhaust air as it uses more air than is required to Air Con a large house. The only exception is on air con only mode. The fan slows down to the required pressure in the house to air con only.

Q. Are there Filters?
A . Yes air filters only but water filter can be easily added if required.

Q. What Voltage is it?
A. 3 phase 80-amp Australian Voltage and phase is required. Generally found in most house holds requiring central air conditioners.

Q. What is the advantage over all other air conditioner systems?
A. It's water making capacity. There also is little increase in cost to air condition larger homes or clusters of homes. The system adjusts automatically to Relative Humidity and Temperature. i.e. Dewpoint.

Q. Can it be powered by gas?
A. The best and most economical is natural gas geo thermally cooled. It can co generate and be used for heating hot water, floor systems, making water, hot and cold air ; all at not any extra costs in running. About 70% of the cost of running electric. Initial capital cost is double electric version. No change to Air Handler~water maker design. Makes water in larger envelope of RH and temps due to ability to chill cooling water to lower temps.

Q. How much time to install a typical system?
A. About 25% LONGER than a single zone central air conditioner, 25% LESS than a 2 zone unit and 40% LESS than a 3 Zone unit.

Q. Warranty time?
A. 12 Months


 


 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Intake dampener and 2. ducting (right), back of 3. Typical electric chiller (left), mounted on 4. steel skid for demo. The ducting is simply removed for shipping.

 




1. Expansion tank - demo only. 2. Typical electric Chiller exposed without covers. 4. Area in front 3. ducting for demo only stored for shipping in area 4, exhaust duct for processed air when not required. Cables are electric from generator. One only required. 5. Pink gas tank not included

 

 

1. Insulated expansion tank. It may or may not be required depending on how far apart 2. chiller is from 3. air handler. This is the Installer’s decision. 3. Water manufactured outlet to lead to rain water tank.
