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
Ventilator (HRV) Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) by
using the balancing procedure found in this manual.

It is always important to assess how the operation of any
HRV/ERV may interact with vented combustion equipment
(ie. 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!!!

HRV - Aluminum Core

A Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) is designed to provide
fresh air into a building while exhausting an equal amount
of stale air. During the winter months, the incoming cold
fresh air is warmed by utilizing the heat recovered from the
stale air before it is exhausted to the outdoors. During sum­mer months when the indoor space is air conditioned, the
Heat Recovery Ventilator will help in cooling the incoming
fresh air with the stale air that is being exhausted.

ERV - Enthalpic Paper Core

An Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) is designed to pro­vide fresh air into a building while exhausting an equal
amount of stale air. An ERV is designed for use in warm
humid areas with heavy air conditioning use. The ERV will
transfer both sensible and latent heat from the incoming
fresh air to the outgoing stale air thereby reducing the load
(due to ventilation) on the air conditioning system.

ERVs are not suitable for climates where the temperature
drops below -4°C (25°F).

All Heat Recovery Ventilators carry a Lifetime Warranty on
the heat recovery core and a 5 (five) year replacement
parts warranty.

All Energy Recovery Ventilators carry a 5 (five) year war­ranty on the energy recovery core and a 5 (five) year
replacement parts warranty.

During the warranty period, if any core experiences a failure
or perforation caused by normal use while owned by the
original purchaser, a replacement core (FOB our plant) will
be supplied at no expense.

What is the difference between an HRV
and an ERV?

The core in an HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) trans­fers heat from one air stream to the other. This is
called sensible heat. The term ERV (Energy Recovery
Ventilator) is usually used to describe a unit with an
enthalpic core that transfers moisture as well as heat
from one air stream to the other. This (moisture
transfer) is called latent heat.

Enthalpic - what does it mean?

Enthalpy is the term used to describe the energy
content of air. This energy is a combination of the sen­sible and latent heat. Therefore, a core which transfers
energy is called an enthalpic core.

Is an ERV better than an HRV?

NOT NECESSARILY! In cold climates such as most of
North America, an HRV works better than an ERV.
This is because the air inside the home during the win­ter months will be more humid than the outside air. An
ERV would transfer the latent heat (humidity) from the
exhaust air back into the incoming airstream. This will
aggravate moisture problems in the home and encour­age the growth of mold and mildew. If the air in the
home is too dry for comfort, an ERV will not help. A
humidifier should be used to increase the humidity to a
comfortable level.

Where do you use an ERV instead of an HRV?

An ERV is recommended for warm, humid areas with
heavy air conditioning use. As there is no defrost in an
ERV it is not recommended for areas where the tem­perature drops below -4°C (25°F).

Why transfer moisture in the summer
(cooling season)?

The enthalpic core will allow moisture to be transferred
from a humid air flow to a dry air flow. This property is
useful in the cooling season if an air conditioning sys­tem is used to lower the indoor humidity. You will then
have dry, cool air in the exhaust of the ERV, and warm
humid air in the supply stream. With these conditions,
the ERV will be able to transfer the moisture and heat
of the supply air to the exhaust air. In this way, the
ERV will supply to the home air which is cooler and
drier than outside. Remember that an ERV is not a
dehumidifier, and on its own will not take moisture out
of the air.

So why use an ERV?

A properly operating air conditioner will not only lower
the temperature in your house, but will also lower the
humidity level. This prevents an uncomfortable cold

and damp situation. In fact, about 2/3 of the energy
used by the air conditioner system is to remove mois­ture. Therefore, when ventilating in the summer, less
moisture brought into the home means less work for
the air conditioner, and energy savings for you.

During the winter, an ERV recovers some humidity
from the exhaust air, reducing the need for humidifica­tion, if the required ventilation rate would make the
home too dry.

What's the difference between this type of core
and a rotary type?

Here's a list of characteristics of the fixed plate core.

1. No rotating parts, so maintenance is easy and the
unit lasts a long time.

2. It is very flexible in terms of installation.

3. The core can easily be changed.

4. Because the supply and exhaust air streams are
completely separate, there is very little cross leak­age of any dust or germs.

Can the core become clogged with dust?

Because the surface of the core is a turbulent flow
area, dust sticks to it easily; however, because the
inside of the element is a laminar flow area, virtually no
dust sticks to it.

What is the maintenance?

About once a year you should use a vacuum cleaner
to remove the dust from the core's surface. DO NOT
WASH WITH WATER!

Is an air filter needed?

To prevent clogging of the core, an air filter should
always be installed on the supply and exhaust sides of
the core.

How much ventilation do I need?

During seasons when your windows and doors are
closed, the ERV should operate continuously when the
dwelling is occupied, and either continuously or inter­mittently when not occupied.

For most installations the ERV will normally be set to
operate continuously on low speed with the option of
going to high speed as the need arises. For example;
if you are entertaining and there is a large number of
people present (some may be smoking), the unit
should be switched to high speed.

Your ERV may be equipped with automatic or manual
switches, but all ERVs will have a manual speed con­trol override.
