The Solution

lets you enjoy the fresh-air feel of

an open window, with v irtual ly

little or no heat or energy loss. È Replace stale, pol luted indoor air with

fresher, healthier and oxygen rich outside air.

È Ideal for tightly sealed new commercial

buildings and modern homes.

È Compact unit size allows it to be retro-

fitted with your existing air-conditioning

system to enhance the indoor air quality.

How does it work ? The heart of the Energy Recovery Ventilator

is the EcoFresh des iccant coated energy

r ecove ry whee l , wh i ch s l o w l y r o t a t e s

between its two sections. In one section,

the stale, conditioned air is passed through

t h e w h e e l , a n d e x h a u s t e d t o t h e

a t m o s p h e r e . D u r i n g t h i s p r o c e s s , t h e

wheel absorbs sensib le and latent energy

f rom the cond i t i oned a i r , wh ich i s used

to pre-condit ion the incoming Fresh Air in

the other section, during the second half

of i ts rotat ion cycle. Thus, you can have

more Fresh Air at lower energy costs inside

your conditioned space.
