Condensate drainage
The HRV units must be connected to a condensate drain system. The ERV units are equipped with enthalpy recovery cores with no
condensate buildup and require no condensate drain system.
The drain pan in the heat recovery unit has a drain pipe to remove condensate outside of the unit.
Connect the condensate pipe, the U-trap or a hydraulic lock of the other type (not included in the delivery) with the sewage system using
metal, plastic or rubber hoses.
While laying the hoses provide the slope downwards min 3˚. Prior to commissioning the unit make sure the water runs smoothly in the
sewage system, otherwise accumulation of the water condensate may lead to the unit malfunction and water outflow. Fill up the U-trap
with water before using it. When using other hydraulic lock systems read the installation instruction to prepare the condensate drain
system for operation.
The condensate drain system is designed for use in premises with ambient temperature above 32 °F!
If the expected air temperatures are below 32 °F, the condensate drainage system must be equipped with heat insulation and
pre-heating facilities.
