GENERAL FEATURES
• ERV 200S: One enthalpic core for total heat transfer (sensible and latent—
water vapor) for year round energy savings, optimized for warm humid climates.
• No drain required.
• Low maintenance, no moving parts in the exchange core.
• Insulated 20-gauge powder coated galvanized steel cabinet.
• Five speed motor drives a centrifugal blower in each air stream. Quiet, high
efficiency PSC motor, 120 V., 1.4 Amps, 164 Watts on high speed.
• Washable filters, one in each air stream protects the core. Easy to access and
clean.
• Complete line of accessories, controls, ducting, grilles.
• Airflow balancing kit for rent or purchase to assure balanced airflows.
• Request the HRV/ERV Design Guide to plan your installation.
• 5 Year warranty on core.
• 2-Year warranty on replacement parts.
ALDES Model ERV 200S is a
compact Energy Recovery Ven-
tilator designed to exhaust stale
indoor air and supply fresh air
from outdoors. With airflows up
to 200 CFM, this unit can meet
the ventilation requirements
(0.35 Air changes per hour—
ASHRAE 62-1999) of homes up
to 4000 square feet. This model
can provide significant energy
savings on the heating and cool-
ing costs of fresh air.
ALDES’ ERV200S features a
plate type enthalpy core that
transfers both sensible and la-
tent (water vapor) heat between
the two air streams. Sensible
heat performance is important
during the heating season. It is
a measure of the temperature
rise of the incoming fresh air and
reduces the load on the heating
system. Total efficiency (sen-
sible and latent) is important for
the air conditioning season, as it
represents the reduction of the
cooling load.
During the summer, when out-
door air is hot and humid, while
the indoor temperature is main-
tained at a lower temperature by
air conditioning, the ERV rejects
both sensible and latent heat
(humidity) from the fresh air to
the exhaust air, to reduce the
ventilation load on the air condi-
tioner by 55%.
During the winter, an ERV also
recovers humidity from the ex-
haust air to partly humidify the
supply air, reducing the need for
humidification. The sensible heat
performance is similar to an
HRV, (Heat Recovery Ventilator)
in that it also recovers heat from
the exhaust air to temper the
fresh outdoor air close to room
temperature. (During cold
weather, both HRV’s and ERV’s
act to lower indoor humidity by
ventilation with drier outdoor air,
but an ERV can recover a sig- nificant amount of the available
humidity, to avoid overly-dry in-
door conditions.)
The ERV 200S is ideally suited
to the mixed climates of moder-
ate winters (temperatures above
0°F) and humid summers. For
colder climates, the model ERV
200SD is recommended. This
unit features defrost protection
to the coldest air, shielding the
enthalpy core from freezing con-
ditions. This unit is also provided
with a dehumidistat.
