PHRV96
Compact top port design HRV with easy-mount wall bracket.
Brings a continuous supply of fresh air into a home while
exhausting an equal amount of contaminated air. HRVs use
what is called a “sensible” heat recovery core. This special
core transfers heat from the exhaust air stream to the
incoming air stream. Fresh incoming air is tempered by the
heat that is transferred from the outgoing air to save on
energy costs. The PHRV96 is equipped with automatic
defrost mechanisms so even if you live in the coldest cli-
mates you can use your HRV all year long.

SPECIFICATIONS
CASE
24 gauge galvanized steel. Baked powder coated paint,
grey. Cabinet fully insulated with 1" (25 mm) aluminum foil-
face high density polystyrene foam to prevent condensation
and meet the requirements of the UL 94HF.
MOTORS
Two (2) German-manufactured, factory-balanced
ebm™ motors with backward curved blades. Motors come
with permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings to
guarantee long life and maintenance-free operation. Seven
(7) year warranty. Steep fan curves requires no balancing of
airflows.
CORE
Aluminum heat recovery core configured for efficient
cross-flow ventilation. Core is 8.5˝ x 8.5˝ (216 x 216 mm)
with a 8˝ (205 mm) depth. Cores are manufactured by
Fantech to withstand extreme temperature variations.
FILTERS
Two (2) Washable Electrostatic Panel Type Air Filters,
8.5˝ (216mm) x 8˝ (203mm) x 0.125˝ (3mm).
CONTROLS
Unit is designed to accommodate the whole
series of Fantech HRV controls.
DEFROST
A preset 5 minute defrost sequence is activated at
an outdoor air temperature of 23°F (-5°C) and lower. During
the defrost sequence, the supply blower shuts down & the
exhaust blower switches into high speed to maximize the
effectiveness of the defrost strategy. The unit then returns
to normal operation for 25 minutes, and continues cycle.
SERVICEABILITY
Core, filters, motors and drain pan can be
easily accessed through latched door. Core conveniently
slides out on our new easy glide core guides. 10˝ (250mm)
of clearance is recommended for removal of core.
DUCT CONNECTION
