EBAC RM40 Dehumidifier, 24 Pints/Day, 3,000 Cu. Ft., 110V, 0.344W, 11186MB-US

EBAC RM40 Dehumidifier, 24 Pints/Day, 3,000 Cu. Ft., 110V, 0.344W

Compact Commercial Dehumidification

The EBAC RM40 is a compact, stand-alone dehumidifier designed for humidity control in smaller areas. This exact model is identified by manufacturer part number 11186MB-US. The RM40 combines a compact design with humidity control, temperature-sensitive defrost, an internal water container, and a facility for permanent gravity drainage.

The manufacturer lists an effective volume of 3,000 cubic feet and typical extraction of 24 pints per day. The current EBAC product page specifies operation at 110V, single phase, 60 Hz, with 0.344W power and 3.3A current.

Compact and Portable Design

The RM40 measures 25 inches high x 15 inches wide x 14 inches deep and weighs 42 pounds. Its compact form factor, castors, and sturdy carrying handles make it convenient to move between suitable problem areas.

The manufacturer describes the RM40 as a free-standing unit suitable for applications where a compact dehumidifier is required. Its rotomoulded body and galvanised steel chassis provide a rugged construction for demanding environments.

Electronic Humidity Control

The RM40 features an adjustable electronic humidistat and an OLED display. The menu-driven display allows a precise humidity control point to be entered and provides a constant readout of actual room humidity.

The OLED display also allows system temperatures to be monitored. An LED status indicator panel provides visual information about the drying process and water-container condition.

Internal Water Container

This specific RM40 configuration includes an internal water container with approximately 4-liter capacity. A bucket-full indicator provides an indication when the container requires emptying.

The RM40 also has a facility for a permanent gravity drain. The RM40 should not be confused with the RM40P, which replaces the integral water container with a high-lift condensate pump.

Temperature-Sensitive Hot Gas Defrost

The RM40 incorporates temperature-sensitive defrost and hot gas defrost technology. The defrost system automatically de-ices the unit as necessary, helping the dehumidifier operate within the manufacturer's specified temperature range of 33°F to 95°F.

Recirculation Mode

The RM40 includes a recirculation or fan-only mode. This allows air movement without active dehumidification when air circulation is required without moisture removal.

Refrigeration-Based Moisture Removal

The RM40 removes moisture through a refrigeration-based process. Air is drawn into the unit by the fan and passes over a cold surface. As the air cools, moisture condenses and falls into the internal water container.

The air is then reheated through the heat recovery system before being returned to the room. The manufacturer explains that the air returns approximately 2°C warmer and considerably drier. The defrost system automatically de-ices the unit as required.

Rugged Construction

The RM40 uses a rotationally moulded body and base with a galvanised steel substructure. The manufacturer describes this construction as suitable for demanding environments. The unit also features a washable air filter and epoxy powder coating.
