Greenheck Fan Energy Recovery Ventilator APEX-200 - Manual (Page 3)

3 ®
The APEX brings in
fresh, outdoor air and
removes stale, exhaust
air. Prior to discharging
the exhaust air, the
energy recovery wheel
transfers energy from
the exhaust air to the
outdoor air at an
efficiency of 70-80%.
Simply put, this unit
preconditions the
outdoor air to save
money on heating and
cooling costs. This
particular unit also has
cooling and heating
options available after
the recovery wheel to
further condition the
fresh air temperature if
desired.
