Introduction
We take it for granted that our homes will protect us from the elements, but because of
tighter, better quality home construction, our indoor environment may be exposing us
to unacceptable levels of the very things we are trying to escape. Excessive heat,
dryness, humidity, toxic gases and dust contaminants can be sealed in securely by
weatherproofing.
So what’s the forecast for indoors?
Today’s indoor forecast is stormy weather for many homeowners. But rapid clearing
and fresh breezes are just around the corner!
Feeling right at home
Unlike what the outdoors brings us, you can have control of indoor conditions.
Temperature, humidity levels and air quality can all affect physical health, mental
attitude, general comfort and energy savings. With today’s technological advances,
you can achieve a “Perfect Climate” indoors.
After all, people look to their homes as a place to escape the stress of work, a busy
lifestyle and an increasingly polluted outdoor environment. Creating a perfect indoor
climate is becoming critical to feeling right at home.
The Honeywell Perfect Window™ Fresh Air Ventilation System removes stale,
unhealthy air and replaces it with a stream of fresh air. Its powerful centrifugal blowers
bring fresh air into your home and at the same time, exhaust stale humid air in an
equal amount. Both incoming and outgoing airstreams pass through a heat exchange
core where the energy from the exhaust air is efficiently transferred to the incoming
fresh air. An air duct system supplies the fresh air brought in by the Perfect Window™
ventilator and distributes it throughout your home. Another duct draws the existing
stale, humid air back to the Perfect Window™ ventilator and then exhausts it outdoors.
It’s really very simple ... and remarkably effective!
What your Perfect Window™ Fresh Air Ventilation System
consists of ...
1. Air Circulation Pan and Motor
Inside the casing are two fans, one for exhaust and one for fresh air supply. The
electric motor that operates the fan is 1/15 hp to 1/20 hp (depending on the ventilator model) and uses the same amount of power as a 100 watt lightbulb.
2. Air Filters
There are two permanent washable air filters in your ventilator. The filters lower
the amount of dust and outside particulates entering the ventilator core and your
fresh air supply.

3. Condensate Tray and Drain
Condensation normally forms on the heat exchange core during the cold
weather (below 29°F or -2°C). Moisture can build up when the warm air from
your home comes in contact with the cold air from outside. The tray collects the
moisture and funnels it to the drain. The drain pans are made of therrnoformed
plastic for easy cleaning.
4. Defrost Mechanism
The built-in defrost mechanism will remove frost which can accumulate in colder
weather (21°F [-6°C] and colder). The type of defrost mechanism used is known
as “damper style”. This consists of an electronically controlled damper door
(attached to a small electric motor) that moves to block off the outside cold air
entering the ventilator. If the outside temperature drops below 27°F (-3°C), the
defrost timer is activated. The timer activates the motor driven damper door
mechanism which temporarily moves to close off the outdoor air supply and
opens another port on the ventilator that allows warm indoor air to enter the core
to help the defrost. Approximately three minutes after the defrost cycle is activated, the timer will signal the damper to return to its original position for a
2.7 minute period. The defrost cycle will repeat until the outside temperature
rises above 27°F (-3°C).
5. Thermally Conductive Core
The cross flow heat recovery core transfers heat between the two airstreams.
The core removes easily for cleaning or service.
6. Controls - Speed Control
Easy operation, simply rotate the Perfect Window™ ventilator fan speed control
to your desired setting.
