Product Overview
The ERV
e
brings in fresh, outdoor air and removes
stale, exhaust air. Prior to discharging the exhaust
air, the energy recovery wheel transfers energy from
the exhaust air to the outdoor air at an effectiveness
of 70-80%. Simply put, this unit preconditions the
outdoor air to save money on heating and cooling
costs.

Electric Heater Application/Operation
Factory installed electric heaters can be provided for
preheat frost control. An electric preheater warms
the outdoor air prior to the energy recovery wheel
to prevent frosting on the wheel. Electric heaters
are available in 208, 230, or 460 VAC (refer to heater
nameplate for voltage).
Preheaters:
Preheaters are standard as single-stage
on/off control. Preheaters are single point wired at
the factory. A thermodisc temperature sensor (with
a 5°F set point) is mounted in the outdoor airstream
after the preheater to turn
the preheater on. See
Frost Control Application/
Operation for typical set
points. If the temperature
falls below the set point
and the wheel pressure
drop sensor is triggered,
the preheater will turn on.
Access to the preheater
control panel is through the outdoor air filter door.
