3 ER V Questions & Ans wers What is the difference between an HRV and an ERV? The core in an HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) transfers heat from one air stream to the other. This is called sensible heat . The term ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) is usually used to describe a unit with an enthalpic core that transfers moisture as well as heat fr[...]

Oper ating the ControlAir 15 Plugging in the HRV/ERV energizes the unit. A self test function will be performed every time the HRV/ERV is energized (refer to “Self Test” for more details). After the self test has completed successfully the HRV/ERV will default to Speed 1. This is the factory default setting. Follow the instructions found on the[...]

18 INS T ALLA TION Location The HRV/ERV must be located in a heated space where it will be possible to conveniently service the unit. Typically the HRV/ERV would be located in the mechanical room or an area close to the outside wall where the weatherhoods will be mounted. If a basement area is not convenient or does not exist, a utility or laundry [...]

INS T ALLING AIR DUCTS A well designed and installed ducting system will allow the HRV/ERV to operate at its maximum efficiency. Always try to keep duct runs as short and straight as possible. See Installation Diagrams for various installation options. Outside W eatherhoods The fixed covered hoods have a built-in bird screen with a 1/4" (6 mm)[...]

20 SUPPL Y AIR DUCTING In homes without a forced air furnace, fresh air should be supplied to all bedrooms and living areas, excluding bathrooms, kitchen and utility areas. It should be supplied from high wall or ceiling locations. Grilles that diffuse the air comfortably such as the Techgrille™ are recommended. If the floor is the only option av[...]

25 It is necessary to have balanced air flows in an HRV/ERV. The volume of air brought in from the outside must equal the volume of air exhausted by the unit. If the air flows are not properly balanced, then; • The HRV/ERV may not operate at its maximum efficiency • A negative or positive air pressure may occur in the house • The unit may not[...]

Screws should be located no further than 1/2” from outside edge of collar, so as not to impede operation of the damper. 1/2” Hard/Rigid ducting Insulated flexible ducting B [...]

27 1. Inspect Exterior Hoods at least once a month. Make sure exhaust and fresh air supply hoods are not blocked or restricted by leaves, grass, or snow. In winter, it is especially important to make sure snow is not blocking the hoods or that frost has not built up on the wire mesh (bird screen). WARNING: Blockage of hoods may cause an imbalance.
