The balancing procedure consists of measuring the supply air flow and the return air flow to ensure that they are equal. A difference of up to 10% is
considered acceptable. In the cases where the air flow is not exactly the same, it is recommended to have a higher return air flow to ensure that the
temperature of the supply air flow coming from outside is as close to room temperature as possible.
• For optimal performance, HRV unit should be re-balanced after a major renovation or after the
installation of extra grilles or registers.
Installing drain line
Through normal operation and during its defrost mode, the HRV may produce some condensation. This water should flow into a nearby drain, or be taken
away by a condensate pump. The HRV and all condensate lines must be installed in a space where the temperature is maintained above the freezing point.
A “P” trap should be made in the drain line. This will prevent odors from being drawn back up into the unit.
Secure the condensate line to the drain connection using a tie wrap or other appropriate method.
