Terms and Definitions
•
Defrost Mode
(
ERV/HRV
) - to ensure reliable operation
during cold weather, the ERV/HRV will automatically cy-
cle through its defrost mode as needed.
•
Dehumidistat
- a control device that senses the amount
of moisture in the air and activates high−speed ventila
-
tion when the air moisture level exceeds the set point.
•
Reset
- whenever resetting of the ERV/HRV is required,
simply unplug the power cord for 30 seconds. The Self-
Test will occur when the ERV/HRV is reconnected.
•
Self-Test
- each time the ERV/HRV is powered/ener-
gized, the self test function will automatically initiate.
During the self-test, the ERV/HRV will cycle through all
the speeds available (1 − 5), test the damper motor op
-
eration, and will default back to the previous operational
mode and speed selection. Total self test duration is ap-
proximately 90 seconds.
•
Standby Mode
- the ERV/HRV is powered/energized
and waiting for fan operation to be initiated. For exam-
ple, the HRV is set to Continuous Ventilation Operation-
al Mode at speed 0.
•
Thermistor
- This is the temperature sensor for both
ERV and HRV that measures electrical resistance in a
known manner, as outdoor temperatures fluctuate.
•
HVI
- Home Ventilating Institute.
•
HRAI
- Heating Refrigeration Air Conditioning Institute.
Application
CAUTION
As with any mechanical equipment, contact with sharp
sheet metal edges can result in personal injury. Take
care while handling this equipment and wear gloves and
protective clothing.
This equipment is designed to provide fresh air while ex-
hausting an equal amount of stale air. Refer to “Application
Map - ERV/HRV Ventilators” on page 59.
ENERGY RECOVERY VENTILATOR (ERV)
The ERV unit is equipped with an enthalpic core. The ERV
unit transfers both sensible (temperature) and latent (mois-
ture) heat from incoming fresh air to the stale air as it is
being exhausted; thus, reducing the air conditioning load.
HEAT RECOVERY VENTILATOR (HRV)
The HRV unit is equipped with an aluminum core. The de-
vice uses the stale air that is being exhausted to condition
the fresh air as it is being brought in.
