10.7 ENTHALPIC CORE MAINTENANCE
The enthalpic core media is a fibrous material that must be kept clean at all times. As a minimum,
cores should be cleaned once per year.
• DO NOT WASH OR ALLOW THE ENTHALPIC CORES TO GET WET.
• DO NOT EXPOSE THE ENTHALPIC CORES TO HIGH HEAT OR FLAMES.
• DO NOT DIRECT COMPRESSED AIR AT THE CORE MEDIA.
• DO NOT REMOVE THE ENTHALPIC CORES FROM THE ERV UNLESS NECESSARY.
• USE CAUTION WHEN WORKING AROUND THE ENTHALPIC CORES. DO NOT DROP TOOLS OR
OTHER OBJECTS ON THE CORES, DO NOT BUMP OR TWIST THE CORES.
To access enthalpic cores for cleaning, remove the air filters.
To clean enthalpic cores, all exposed surfaces must be vacuumed with an attachment having long, soft
bristles. The greatest buildup of dirt and dust will normally be on the leading 1 - 2 inches of the inlet
side (closest to the air filters).
There are two sets of three cores in each LE6X ERV. Three cores are in the front module and three
are in the back module. Each set of three cores can be removed for major motor or blower repairs by
opening the access doors on the end of the module, removing the filters to provide better access and
then the support members that secure the cores. Carefully pull out the cores one at a time.
When cores are
removed from the
ERV, they should
be immediately
protected from accidental
damage, water, high heat or
flames.
