Energy Core Ventilator

Energy Recovery Core
Fiber Membrane

Frequency of cleaning - 

A regular cleaning cycle must 

be established for the energy recovery core in order to 
maintain optimum sensible and latent energy transfer. 
In reasonably clean environments such as schools, 
offices or retail stores, the energy recovery core 
should be inspected annually and cleaned as needed. 
Failure to follow a regular cleaning cycle for the energy 
recovery core can result in significant energy transfer 
performance losses. 

Accessing the energy recovery core - 

Disconnect the 

power to the unit. Remove access panel.

Removing the energy recovery core - 

Once the 

energy core access doors are removed, the core can be 
pulled from the housing. To replace the core, reverse the 
procedure.

Recommended cleaning procedure -

 Once the core 

is removed, gently vacuum the 
surfaces of the core to remove 
the dirt and debris that has 
accumulated.

the procedure.

Recommended cleaning procedure -

 Once the core 

is removed, ensure that the plates 
are orientated in a way for proper 
draining. Use low pressure tap 
water to clean the core. If the 
core is extremely dirty, use a mild 
detergent such as Dawn

®

 in a 

solution no more than 1:100 parts 
soap to water. 

Routine Maintenance

WARNING

Do not use a high pressure water source (pressure 
washer) or harsh, corrosive detergents. This will 
result in a damaged core and will not be covered by 
the warranty.

WARNING

Energy core shall not be subjected to temperatures 
greater than 140ºF. This will result in a damaged core 
and will not be covered by warranty.
