Servicing your ERV on a regular schedule will result in optimum operating efficiencies and prolonged life of the
equipment. Due to numerous applications in which this equipment can be installed, it is difficult to predict
servicing intervals. In certain situations where there is heavy smoke, servicing the equipment every one to two
months may be needed; whereas ventilating a meeting room for carbon dioxide may only need service every
six months to a year.
Motor
Access to the motor is through the front service doors. Note heat exchanger core can be removed to provide
more room. See
ERV Core
in this section. The motor is a permanent split capacitor type (PSC) which uses a
sleeve mechanism to steady the shaft.
ERV Core
Remove core(s) and vacuum or use low pressurized air to clean core(s). Do not wash or submerse in water.
With the core(s) 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(s) is in place, push
the core evenly into the cabinet until it reaches the back. Note the core(s) will protrude slightly out from the
front of the cabinet, this is so the access doors, when closed, ensures a tight fit.
Note: When removing cores and filters, note their location and arrangement.
