INTRODUCTION

The Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) is used to exchange indoor
stale air with outside fresh air. The HRV unit is equipped with a

special heat recovery core which transfers sensible heat between
the fresh incoming air and stale exhaust air.
It is required to locate the HRV in a conditioned space. Special

attention should be given to condensate drain, duct application,
balancing the HRV, and locating unit for easy access and routine

maintenance. The cross- flow design core allows entering and
leaving air streams to transfer heat energy without mixing.

NOTE

: Read the entire instruction manual before starting the

installation.
