Frequency of Energy Wheel Cleaning
A regular cleaning cycle must be established for the
energy recovery wheel in order to maintain optimum
sensible and latent energy transfer. In reasonably
clean environments such as schools, offices or retail
stores, the energy recovery wheel should be inspected
annually and cleaned as needed.
For applications experiencing unusually high levels of
tobacco smoke, such as lounges, nightclubs, bars and
restaurants, washing of the energy recovery wheel
every three months may be necessary to maintain
latent energy (water vapor) transfer efficiency.
Failure to follow a regular cleaning cycle for the
energy recovery wheel can result in significant energy
transfer performance losses.
Energy Recovery Wheel Belt Drive
Drive belt(s) should be inspected annually. Normal
operation eventually causes stretching or wear on
the belt(s). Once this occurs the belt(s) should be
replaced.
Replacement or spare energy wheel drive belt kits
are available and ship with their own instructions.
The serial number and date code of the energy wheel
cassette are required to obtain the proper replacement
belt kit from the factory. The energy wheel serial
number and date code are located on a label above
the drive pulley on the energy wheel cassette.
