DESCRIPTION OF YOUR ERV
A) Air Circulation Fans and Motor
Inside the casing are two fans, one for exhaust air and one for
fresh air supply. Turning the fans is an efficient PSC motor.
B) Latent Recovery / Moisture Transfer Core
Cross-flow energy recovery core transfers heat and water
vapor between the two air streams, and is easily removed for
cleaning or service.
C) Air Filters
There are two permanent washable air filters. The filters lower
the amount of dust and outside particulates entering the Core
and your fresh air supply.

The Duct Ports
There are four duct ports on the ERV.
1) Fresh air intake port. It is connected to the exterior air intake hood using
insulated duct with a vapour barrier.
2) The fresh air supply port is connected to the fresh air diffuser, which
is typically located in the major living areas or connected to the return
of the HVAC forced air system.
3) Stale air return port is connected to exhaust grilles or the return of the
HVAC forced air system.
4) The exterior exhaust port is connected to the exterior exhaust hood
using insulated duct with vapour barrier.
Note: The ERV is recommended for areas where the temperature
does not drop below 25˚F (-4˚C). The ERV does not require a
condensate drain, as the water vapour is either transmitted
through the exchanger core or is discharged outdoors.
