PRODUCT INFORMATION FOR UNITS, OPTIONS & ACCESSORIES
The WaterFurnace AlpinePure HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator)
is a device that moves stale contaminated air from bathrooms
and kitchens from inside the home to the outdoors. At the same
time it draws fresh, oxygen-rich air from outside, fi lters it and
delivers it throughout your home. Stale, polluted air is constantly
being replenished by an equal amount fresh, clean air. As the
two air streams pass each other through the HRV they do not
mix. However, they do pass on either side of an aluminum heat
exchange core that transfers the heat from the air exiting the home
to the fresh air coming in. The effi ciency (around 83%) is high
enough that virtually all of the energy is transferred and little energy
is used to condition the incoming fresh air. During cooling the HRV
removes the heat from the incoming fresh air and transfers it to the
stale exiting air so that the incoming air is “pre-cooled”.
AlpinePure HRVs are designed to be connected to bathroom
and kitchen exhaust ducts, replacing the bathroom/kitchen fans.
Independent switches activated in any bathroom turns on the HRV for a 20-minute period. The HRV can also be
activated whenever the WaterFurnace unit is heating or cooling, or for continuous operation by activating a separate
switch conveniently located in the home. By utilizing the AlpinePure HRV for bathroom ventilation, ordinary noisy
exhaust fans are eliminated, and fresh outdoor air is introduced indoors without a major effi ciency loss.
With the AlpinePure HRV, the volume of stale discharged air and the amount of incoming fresh air is equal,
providing a balanced system. Other ventilation strategies may cause depressurization of the home, causing air
infi ltration into wall cavities which can lead to moisture damage, rot or harmful mold.
