a forced air furnace or air handler, operating at a higher static. After installation, the compatibility of the two pieces of equipment must be confirmed by measuring the airflow’s of the Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) or Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) by using the balancing procedure found in this manual. It is always important to assess how the operation of any HRV/ERV may interact with vented combustion equipment (ie. Gas Furnaces, Oil Furnaces, Wood Stoves, etc.). NEVER install a ventilato
During the winter months, the incoming cold fresh air is warmed by utilizing the heat recovered from the stale air before it is exhausted to the outdoors. During the summer months, the cool outgoing stale air from the air conditioned dwelling is used to cool the incoming fresh air. TOOLS REQUIRED The following is a list of tools you may require for the installation of your Heat Recovery Ventilator: • Jigsaw/ Reciprocating Saw • Electric Drill • Flat Srewdriver • "Robertson" screwdrivers #2
When this system is used the air handler's blower will constantly operate. The exhaust takeoff connection must be at least a meter from a directly connected HRV supply duct if both are connected to the same duct run. A damper located just prior to the HRV is required to balance the stale air exhausted with the fresh air supply entering the building. Return air suction points should be located at the opposite side of the room to the fresh air inlet. The inlets may be located in the ceiling or h
During the air conditioning season, the HRV will help cool the incoming fresh air with the cooler stale exhausting air. RNC Electronics RNC electronics offers standard 2-speed operation of low/high. There is also an installer selectable 2-speed operation of medium low/high (refer to "Increasing Low Speed to Medium Low" in this manual). The RNC circuit board also includes an interlock relay which is used to Interlock the HRV to an Air Handler/Furnace. Refer to "Interlocking HRV Operation to an Ai
A good bead of high quality caulking (preferably acoustical sealant) will seal the inner flexible duct to both the HRV/ERV port and the weatherhood prior to clamping. To minimize air flow restriction, the flexible insulated duct that connects the two outside weatherhoods to the HRV/ERV should be stretched tightly and be as short as possible. Twisting or folding the duct will severely restrict air flow. See below for the recommended connection of flexible insulated ducts to the the outside weathe
27 Maintenance Routine for ERV Maintenance Routine for ERV (for HRV, see previous page) 1. Inspect Exterior Hoods at least once a month 5. Clean Duct Work if Required Make sure exhaust and fresh air supply hoods are not blocked up or restricted by leaves, grass, or dirt. WARNING: Blockage of hoods may cause an imbalance. 2. Clean Air Filters Four Times a Year The standard filters equipped with your ERV are removable and washable. a) simply open access door and slide core out b) remove filter cli
Condensation or Ice Build Up in Insulated Duct to the Outside • incomplete vapour barrier around insulated duct • a hole or tear in outer duct covering • tape and seal all joints • tape any holes or tears made in the outer duct covering • ensure that the vapour barrier is completely sealed Water in the bottom of the HRV • drain pans plugged • improper connection of HRVs drain lines • HRV is not level • ensure O-Ring on drain nozzle sits properly • look for kinks in line • check water drain conne
The TRV is specifically designed for moderate/ temperate geographies with winter temperatures below freezing and summer conditions that are hot and humid. (Typically >75°F and 65% R.H.) The TRV is a new concept in ventilation that provides the compounded benefits of moisture transfer with unmatched heat recovery in a single unit. This new configuration is the only way to ensure year round temperature and moisture transfer. TRV TOTAL RECOVERY VENTILATOR • ASHRAE 62.2 Ventilation Standards • Sensi
The straps are designed to reduce the possibility of noise, resonance or harmonics; therefore using the full length of the strap between the HRV/ERV and the floor joists is recommended. Electrical The HRV/ERV should be plugged into a standard designated (120VAC) electrical outlet with ground. It is not recommended that an extension cord be used for this appliance. If further wiring is required, then a licensed electrician should make all electrical connections. It is recommended that a separate
