•
Fresh Air from Outside Port
A
:
Inlet for fresh outdoor air.
•
Exhaust Air to Outside Port
B
:
Outlet for exhausting stale,
humid & contaminated air to the outdoors after transferring its heat to
the recovery core.
•
Exhaust Air From Home Port
C
:
Exhausts stale, humid &
contaminated air to the outside from multiple location of the home or
from the return air of the forced air system, prior to passing threw the
heat recovery core. Ex: Bathroom, laundry room etc.
•
Fresh Air to Home Port
D
:
Introduces & distributes clean & fresh
air to your home. The homes fresh air ports are normally installed
in the main living areas or in the return/supply duct of the forced air
system. Ex: Living room, bedrooms, recreation rooms etc.
•
5th Port on XDH Models only
E
:
Re-circulating port during
defrost sequence, or with specific wall control Vectra EHC1.5, (RD-3D &
RD-4D) Re-circulation mode can be chosen. (Ref. The Installation Guide)

•
German Engineered Motors(2):
Designed with high performance
and reliability, they are maintenance free for your comfort and peace
of mind.
•
Synthetic Filters:
Capture the largest particle & protects your heat
recovery core from potential obstruction by these particles.
•
Heat Recovery Core:
A polypropylene cross-flow type it is
designed to transfer the heat between both exhaust & supply air
streams without allowing any contamination or mixing of both air
streams to maximize the efficiency and improves your indoor air quality.
*Ideal for cold climates.
•
Energy Recovery Core:
An energy recovery core transfers latent
energy (humidity) & heat from one airstream to the other without
mixing the airstreams for maximum efficiency and improves your
indoor air quality.
*Ideal for warm humid climates.
•
Condensate Drain Pan & Drainage Hose:
Captures the water
that accumulates during the heat transfer and defrosts sequence in
the fall, winter & early spring seasons. Drain hose is connected to the
drain pan and serves as drainage for the accumulation of water. It is
normal during summer months to find no condensation in drain pan or
in drainage hose.
•
Automatic Defrost Sequence:
The defrost sequence is
electronically controlled to measure the incoming outdoor air
temperature, the sequence is activated at -5°C (23°F) and colder. This
system eliminates that the heat recovery or energy recovery core
doesn’t build with ice or freezes.
•
PH, PE, Solace XPH1.5, XPH2.0, SS 3.80, RNC1.5, RNC2.0
& RNC2.0ES Series defrost sequence:
Supply fans shuts
down, the exhaust fan speed increases pending the measured outside
temperature.
•
XDH Model defrost sequence:
An automatic motorized
damper closes the fresh air port, the exhaust fan shuts down, the
supply fan increases speed pending the measured outside temperature
and will draw air from the 5th port located upper left side.
•
C3.14HRV, RNC1.0 & RNC12 Defrost sequence:
An automatic
motorized damper closes the supply & exhaust air and opens the
re-circulation damper. this allows the unit to re-circulate the ambiant
air in the house. The supply motor is then off.
