INSTALLATION EXAMPLES (CONT'D)
DIRECT CONNECTION of both the HRV SUPPLY AIR STREAM and EXHAUST AIR STREAM
to the FURNACE COLD AIR RETURN
SIMPLIFIED INSTALLATION
(GOOD)
(RETURN/RETURN METHOD)
1.
Furnace blower must operate when ventilation from HRV is required. The
furnace should be set to run continuously or interlocked with HRV. See
furnace electrical connection on page 16.
2.
A minimum separation of 1m (39'') is recommended between the two
direct connections.
3.
In order to prevent exhausting any fresh air, the HRV's exhaust air connection
should be upstream of the HRV's supply air connection when ducting to the
furnace's cold air return.
4.
Due to the difference in pressure between the HRV and the equipment it is
being connected to the HRV's airflow must be balanced on site, using the
procedure found in the section "AIRFLOW BALANCING"
* In the case of a multi-zone system, please contact Fantech customer
service prior to installing any installation type requiring the use of the
furnace interlock"
