4
INSTALLATION TYPES
Example only – duct configuration may differ depending on the model.
FAA DUCTING FOR FULLY DEDICATED
SYSTEM
BEST
1.
Stale air is drawn from areas requiring
local exhaust (bathroom, kitchen, laundry
room).
2.
Fresh air is distributed to habitable
rooms (bedrooms, living room)
3.
The FAA's airflow must be balanced after
installation using the procedure found in
the section "AIRFLOW BALANCING."
Suggested for:
• Hydronic baseboard
• In floor heating
• Electric baseboard
• Mini split heat pump
Benefits:
Provides the best fresh air distribution in
the house; lowest operation cost since the
forced air system is not needed.
Make sure the FAA is
capable of meeting the
required airflow rate.
FAA/FORCED AIR SYSTEM DUCTING
FOR PARTIALLY DEDICATED SYSTEM
BETTER
1.
Forced air system blower must operate
when ventilation from FAA is required.
The system should be set to run
continuously or interlocked with FAA. See
forced air system electrical connection.
2.
Stale air is drawn from areas requiring
local exhaust (bathroom, kitchen, laundry
room).
3.
Fresh air is supplied to the return air
plenum of the forced air system.
4.
Before operation, the FAA's airflow must
be balanced on site. For this, use the
procedure found in the section "AIRFLOW
BALANCING". During the balancing
procedure, make sure the forced air
system blower is running and the FAA is
running at "Normal" speed.
5.
In the case of a multi-zone system,
please contact Fantech customer service
prior to installing any installation type
requiring the use of the forced air system
interlock.
6.
The FAA should only be paired with one
forced air system. In the case where
there are more than one forced air
system please contact Fantech customer
service prior to making a product
selection.
Suggested for:
• Forced air system (central furnace or
central air conditioner)
• When ducting fresh air to living area is
not possible or practical, i.e. expensive
or when the forced air system will
operate year-round
Benefits:
Conditions the fresh air prior to distributing
it throughout the house
FAA/FORCED AIR SYSTEM FOR
SIMPLIFIED INSTALLATION
GOOD
1.
Forced air system blower must operate
when ventilation from FAA is required.
The system should be set to run
continuously or interlocked with FAA. See
forced air system electrical connection.
2.

local exhaust (bathroom, kitchen, laundry
room).

plenum of the forced air system.

Suggested for:
n bathroom and kitchen already have
• Whe
local exhaust system
• May be suita
ble for retrofitting
Benefits:
Least expensive installation type
