1. FUNCTIONS OF YOUR HRV
1.1 AIR EXCHANGE
Your Heat Recovery Ventilator eliminates the excessive humidity problems by exhausting
stale and humid air to the outdoors and by drawing in fresh air. The unit offers superior
air quality and fresh air sensation, an important factor to overall comfort, by eliminating
the accumulation of pollutants and humidity.
The unit also comes equipped with a heat recovery core which reduces ventilating costs
in winter.
The Heat Recovery Ventilator is a ventilation system which carries out three main
operations:
During winter, the unit recovers the heat contained in the stale air before it is exhausted,
and transfers it to the fresh air drawn from the outdoors (reverse process in summer).
1.2 HEAT RECOVERY
VF0024
The unit exhausts stale and humid air from the house and replaces it with fresh air from
the outdoors.
MODELS RATES
2000 HE / 1.8 HE 55 to 93 l/s (115 to 197 cfm)
3000 HE / 2.6 HE 85 to 141 l/s (180 to 300 cfm)
Example (in winter):
Stale air to outdoors
3°C/37°F
Fresh air from outdoors
0°C/32°F
Stale air from building
22°C/72°F
Fresh air to building
19°C/66°F
During the recirculation mode, the units stops to exchange air with the outdoors.
Continuous recirculation is thus undertaken inside the home and insures the purification
of the ambient air. Two mechanical filters trap the large dust particles (those visible to
the eye).
