General Description
The wall mount energy recovery ventilator was designed
to provide energy efficient, cost-effective ventilation
to meet IAQ (indoor air quality) requirements while
still maintaining good indoor comfort and humidity
control for a variety of applications such as schools,
classrooms, lounges, conference rooms, beauty salons
and others. It provides a constant supply of fresh air
for control of airborne pollutants including CO
2
, smoke,
radon, formaldehyde, excess moisture, virus and
bacteria.
The ventilator incorporates patented rotary heat
exchanger to remove both heat and moisture.
It is designed as a single package which can be
easily factory- or field-installed for new installations
or retrofit to the Bard W**A, W**H and C**H series
wall-mounted units. The package consists of a unique
rotary energy recovery cassette that can be easily
removed for cleaning or maintenance. The ERVF-*3/
CHERV-*3 has two 13” diameter heat transfer wheels.
The heat transfer wheels use a permanently bonded dry
desiccant coating for total heat recovery.
Ventilation is accomplished with two blower/motor
assemblies each consisting of a drive motor and dual
blowers for maximum ventilation at low sound levels.
The intake and exhaust blowers can be operated at the
same speed (airflow rate) or different speeds to allow
flexibility in maintaining desired building pressurization
conditions. Factory shipped on medium intake and low
exhaust. See Figure 6A on page 11 to change speeds.
The rotating energy wheels provide the heat transfer
effectively during both summer and winter conditions.
Provides required ventilation to meet the requirements
of ASHRAE 62.1 standard.
Electrical Specifications
NOTE: During operation below 5˚ F outdoor
temperature, freezing of moisture in the heat
transfer wheel can occur. Consult the factory if
this possibility exists.
General Information

intended as a step-by-step procedure with which the
mechanically inclined owner can install the package.
The ventilator housing is shipped in one carton, which
contains the following:
1. Energy recovery ventilator
2. Service soor
3. Rain hood and mist eliminator
4. Installation instructions
Unpacking
Upon receipt of the equipment, be sure to compare the
model number found on the shipping label with the
accessory identification information on the ordering and
