Installation Manual

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ AND SAVE THIS

MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING UNIT

CAUTION - Before installation, careful consideration must be given to how

this system will operate if connected to any other piece of mechanical equipment, i.e. a forced air furnace or air handler, operating at a higher static. After installation, the compatibility of the two pieces of equipment must be confirmed by measuring the airflow’s of the Heat Recovery Ventilators. It is always important to assess how the operation of any HRV may interact with vented combustion equipment (i.e. Gas Furnaces, Oil Furnaces, Wood Stoves, etc.).

NEVER - install a ventilator in a situation where its normal operation, lack of

operation or partial failure may result in the backdrafting or improper functioning of vented combustion equipment!!!

Heat Recovery Ventilators

Your ventilation system should be installed in conformance with the appropriate provincial or state requirements or in the absence of such requirements with local building codes.

The Fantech SHR8005R is designed to provide an economical solution for high humidity applications such as indoor swimming pools, spas and fitness facilities. The higher humidity generation rate in these applications leads to annoying window

condensation, mold and structure deterioration. It’s designed to reduce the occurrence of condensation in the indoor environment by first operating in recirculation mode, moving air around the structures, sweeping windows dry and eliminating troublesome cold spots, then switching to air exchange mode as needed. Air exchange mode simply exhausts humid air to the outside and replaces it with drier air from outside. The airstreams are separated by an energy efficient heat recovery core which uses the energy in the exhaust air to lower the load on the HVAC system. Automatic defrost and provisions for condensation are standard.

MODES OF OPERATION

1. Continuous / Ventilation Mode

In this mode of operation, both fans are operating and exchanging air with the outside. The heat recovery ventilator (HRV) constantly exchanges the air at the rate you select, either at low or medium speed, and switches to high speed when activated by an optional remote control. Continuous mode is recommended, since pollutants are slowly but constantly being generated in a building.

2. Recirculation Mode

In recirculation mode, the supply motor continues to run and a damper moves to block off air entering from outside, drawing air instead from the conditioned space. The exhaust to outside motor is OFF when in recir

culation mode.

3. Intermittent / Standby Mode

The system is always on standby and operates at high speed when activated by an optional remote control (required): "Standby" should be selected if the user wishes to stop the unit from continuous exchange.

4. Defrost

A preset defrost sequence is activated at an outdoor air temperature of -5ºC (23ºF) and lower. During the defrost sequence, the motorized damper in the bypass module (BPM) temporarily blocks the incoming fresh air stream so

that the warm air from the room can circulate through the HRV. The exhaust blower shuts down and the supply blower switches into high speed to maximize the effectiveness of the defrost strategy. During this cycle, the unit will not create a negative pressure. Please note that these systems are configured to defrost with the BPM devices installed on the fresh air from outside port. Alternate configuration are available by contacting our technical support department.

SETTING SPEED

Intermittent operation can be obtained by toggling the switch located on outside of cabinet. External low voltage contacts allow for high speed operation when an optional remote control is used.

INSTALLATION

LOCATION

The HRV must be located in a conditioned space where it will be possible to conveniently service the unit. Typically the HRV would be located in the mechanical room, above a drop ceiling or an area close to the outside wall where the weatherhoods will be mounted. Attic installations are not recommended due to extreme temperatures, and difficulty in performing, required service & maintenance. Care must be taken to locate the recirculation port in an area that will not cause any unwanted contaminant to be drawn into the living space during recirculation and defrost.

Connecting appliances to the HRV It is not recommended, including:

- clothes dryer

- kitchen exhaust hoods

- combustion venting

TIP: Flexible duct connectors should be installed between the HRV and the galvanized ductwork.

- central vacuum system

These appliance may cause lint, dust or grease to collect in the HRV , damaging the unit.

NOTE: Connecting any of these type of appliances to the HRV will invalidate your warranty

Installing Drain Line

Through normal operation and including defrost mode, the HRV may produce some condensation. This water should flow into a nearby drain, or be taken away by a condensate pump. The HRV and all condensate lines must be installed in a space where the temperature is maintained above freezing point. A “P” trap should be made in the drain line. This will prevent odors fr

om being drawn back

INSTALLING DUCTS GOING TO / FROM OUTSIDE

INSTALLING THE DUCTING TO THE WEATHERHOODS

OUTSIDE WEATHERHOODS –

prevent birds and rodents from entering into the ductwork. Do not use smaller mesh as it will be very susceptible to plugging up. The preferred location of the weatherhoods is:

• No less than 3 m (10 ft.) apart from each other.

• At least 457.2 mm (18 inches) snow line or ground level.

• Supply hood must be kept away from sources of contaminant, such as automobile exhaust fumes, gas meters, garbage cans, containers, cooling towers, tar roofs, etc.

• Avoid prevailing winds, whenever reasonably possible.

The outside perimeter of the weatherhood must be sealed to prevent leakage into the building.

The weatherhoods must have built-in "bird" screens with 6.35 mm (1/4 inch) minimum mesh to

DUCTING FROM THE WEATHERHOODS–TO AND FROM THE HRV – Galvanized sheet metal ducting with sufficient cross sec-

tion with an integral single piece of insulated wrap with vapor barrier should be used to connect the HRV to the weatherhoods. The R-value of the insulation should be adequate for condensation control. Insulated flex duct may be used in moderation, if sized and installed properly. (Consult local codes)

All ducts should be sealed using a good bead of high quality caulking (preferably acoustical sealant) and a high quality aluminum foil tape, or other approved duct sealant.

INSTALLING DUCTS TO / FROM INSIDE

To maximize airflow in the ductwork system, all ducts should be kept short and have as few bends or elbows as possible. Fortyfive degree are preferred to 90˚ elbows. Use “Y” tees instead of 90˚ elbows whenever possible.

All duct joints must be fastened with screws or duct sealant and wrapped with a quality duct tape to prevent leakage. Aluminum foil duct tape is recommended.

SUPPLY AIR DUCTING

In buildings without a forced air HVAC systems, fresh air should be supplied to all habitable areas. It should be supplied from high wall or ceiling locations. The grilles that are to be used should be designed to properly and comfortably sweep cold surfaces.

Optional inline duct heaters may be used to add heat if required. Typically the reheat is best done using a coil off the same boiler that heats the pool water.

Direct Connection to Furnace/ Air handler return duct

• Should you wish to hard duct the supply air directly into the cold air return of the HVAC systems, remember to check the airflow balance of the HRV with the HVAC systems fan both “on”and “off” to determine that it does not imbalance the HRV more than 10%. Make sure you respect the minimum distance from the supply air in of the HRV and the HVAC systems.

• It may be necessary to install a separate fresh air supply ductwork system if the heating is other than forced air.

When installing an HRV, the designer and installer should be aware of local codes that may require smoke detectors and/or firestats in the HVAC or HRV ductwork. Because an HRV is designed to bring fresh air into the building, structures may require supply voltage interrupt when smoke or flame sensors are triggered, or when a central fire alarm system is activated.

Exhaust Air ducting

The stale air exhaust system is used to draw air from the points in the building where the worst air quality problems occur. ( See installation examples in the manual.)

• The balancing procedure consists of measuring the exhaust air leaving the system and the supply air entering the system and ensuring that these two are equal. A deviation of 10% or less is acceptable.

Pitot tube and gauge

A The duct’s airflow veloc-

ity is generally measured with a magnehelic gauge and a pitot tube.

• To avoid airflow turbulence and incorrect readings, the airflow velocity should be measured on steel ducting a minimum of 3 duct cross-section from the unit or elbow and before any transition.

Note: A professional air balancer should be contacted to commission the system properly. A skilled HVAC Tech may complete the balance of air providing they possess the proper equipment. Call Fantech Technical support for assistance.
