HRV150TE, 40-157 CFM Heat Recovery Ventilator

THE HRV150TE has been designed to be one of the most eco-friendly HRV air exchangers on the market. Its innovative design incorporates extremely high performance ECM motors, which enable it to operate on power equivalent to a compact fluorescent bulb (13.5 watts), significantly lowering energy costs. Additional energy-efficiency is found through its advanced heat recovery core, which can retain up to 80% of a home?s heating. It surpasses energy-saving standards while providing effective heat recovery, ventilation and quiet operation. All aspects have been designed to facilitate balancing of air flow and simplify use and installation.

HRVs enable heat to be retained during cooler seasons, making it ideal for colder climates where home heating and energy savings are essential. The HRV keeps the home supplied with a steady flow of fresh outdoor air. As stale, warm air is expelled from inside the home through the HRV air exchanger, the heat recovery core warms incoming colder, fresh airbefore it is distributed throughout your home. The result is a constant supply of tempered fresh air, no unpleasant drafts and greater home comfort. The HRV not only improves heat retention during cooler seasons but also removes heat from warm outside air during warmer seasons to help reduce the workload on your furnace/air conditioner.

Light commercial balanced ventilation systems for high-rise dwellings, commercial facilities or offices are available with Heat Recovery (HRV) or Energy Recovery (ERV) features. Now, a single unit can be installed in place of multiple units, reducing installation time and materials, maintenance time and costs, and space requirements. These green solutions capture up to 70% of the heat already paid for and transfers it to the fresh air entering the space.

Balanced ventilation systems, if properly designed and installed, neither pressurize nor depressurize a home. Rather, they introduce and exhaust approximately equal quantities of fresh outside air and polluted inside air, respectively.

A balanced ventilation system works within the home's HVAC system to facilitate proper distribution of fresh air throughout the living environment. Fresh air supply and exhaust vents can be installed in every room but are primarily focused to supply fresh air to bedrooms and living rooms where people spend the most time. It is also functional to exhaust air from rooms where moisture and pollutants are most often generated (kitchen, bathrooms and perhaps the laundry room).
