HEAT RECOVERY VENTILATOR

HEAT RECOVERY VENTILATOR

Engineering Data

Model RNC5-TPF

THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE, PATENTED ALUMINUM CORE

The cross-flow heat recovery core transfers heat between the two airstreams. It
is easily removed for cleaning or service.

MOTORS AND BLOWERS

Each Air stream has an independent motorized impeller. 120VAC

FILTERS

Washable air filters in exhaust and supply air streams.

DEFROST

Supply air motor switches off and exhaust motor switches to high speed to
defrost core.

CASE

Twenty gauge prepainted galvanized steel (G60) for superior corrosion resist-
ance. Insulated to prevent exterior condensation. Drain connections 1/2" (12
mm) OD.

MOUNTING THE HRV

Four threaded inserts at corners of case designed to accept four reinforced poly-
ester straps that are supplied with the unit.

CONTROLS- HRV System Control

HRV defaults to user selected speed from switch on top of cabinet when
plugged in. HIGH SPEED option is accessible by connecting remote controls to
designated terminals inside electrical box of HRV.

OFF(Standby)/LOW or OFF/HIGH speed operation is also available.
