There has been more evidence lately to indicate that the air in
our homes is more seriously polluted than the outdoor air even in the
largest and most industrialized cities. Since research indicates that
people spend approximately 90% of their time indoors, this poses a
health risk. In addition, people who may be exposed to indoor air pollutants for long periods of time are often those most susceptible to
the adverse affects of indoor air pollution. These groups include the
young, the elderly, the chronically ill, and especially those suffering
from respiratory or cardiovascular diseases. The levels of pollutants
from individual sources may not pose a significant or serious risk to
health by themselves. However, most homes have more than one
source that contributes to indoor air pollution and an accumulative
affect of these sources is cause for concern.
Now, please take a few minutes and read this booklet. This will
familiarize you with the benefits you will receive from the equipment
you just purchased and help you understand the routine maintenance that will be required. Be sure to register your warranty with us
for our records and your protection.

I. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The Aprilaire®Energy Recovery Ventilator is designed to remove
indoor air pollution and provide a constant supply of fresh air to the
home. The special EnergyMax®transfer core utilizes the indoor
conditioned air to pre-heat or pre-cool the incoming fresh air
depending on the season. During the winter season, the cross-flow
design EnergyMax transfer core allows the incoming fresh air to be
preheated by the warm stale air being exhausted, thereby reducing
the energy required by the heating system to warm the air to your
desired temperature. This same process removes heat and moisture
from the incoming air stream during the summer. The Aprilaire®Energy
Recovery Ventilator provides a comfortable and healthy environment
for your entire home year round, with only minimal maintenance
requirements and trouble-free quiet operation. For optimum benefits,
the Aprilaire unit has been designed for continuous operation.
