Service your HRV on a regular schedule for
optimum operating efficiencies and a prolonged life of
the equipment.
Motor
Access the motor through the front service doors.
Note the heat exchanger core can be removed to
provide more room. See HRV C ore in this section.
HRV Core
Access the heat exchange core through the front
service door. Provide special care and attention to
this component: the edges may be sharp and the
core, itself, susceptible to damage if dropped.
When removing the core, note the location from
which it is removed. Remove the core by carefully
pulling it outward from the unit and sliding it evenly
along its guide rail supports (found on the top and
bottom corners and on either
side of the core). Note the core may have some
resistance when sliding out. Avoid tilting the core as
this will result in its edges catching the guide rails and
temporarily preventing its removal.
In most cases, all the core requires is a wash in a
mild detergent and warm water to completely clean it.
Do not use harsh chemicals, as their use may cause
corrosion in the HRV. The time required between each
core service depends on the application in which the
HRV is installed.
Service may be required as often as one month, two
months or at the very least, cleaned every six
months. When reinstalling the core, note the
foam location and drip edge location for
proper core placement (see diagram below).
With the core in its proper position, place the bottom
corner into its guide rail support, then place the left
side, the right side, and finally the top corner, into
place in the same fashion. Once the core is in place,
push the core evenly into the cabinet until it reaches
the back.
Note the core will protrude slightly from the front of
the cabinet, this is so the access door, when closed,
ensures a tight fit.
