Heat
& Energy Recovery Ventilators
Fantech
Provides Ventilation Solutions To Improve Indoor
Air Quality
| Indoor
air quality problems have soared since
the late 1970’s when construction
technology succeeded in developing energy
efficient "tight" houses.
Pollutants inside houses, which once
escaped through cracks around windows and
doors, are now trapped inside creating an
indoor environment that is often 2 to 5
times more polluted than outside. Pet
dander, mold spores, dust mites,
allergens, tobacco smoke and other
pollutants add up to poor indoor air
quality. |
 |
Fantech's
new line of IAQ Products can help you solve these
problems through better ventilation. Choose from
a complete line of Heat Recovery and Energy
Recovery Ventilators to bring fresh outside air
into the house while expelling stale polluted
air.
Discover
the benefits of Fantech's new Whole House HEPA
Filtration unit that can be easily installed on a
furnace/air handler or used as an independent
system to clean the air in an average size house
once each hour.
Each
Fantech IAQ Product is designed using
state-of-the-art technology and quality
components to give you long life and dependable
operation. We guarantee it.
| Selecting
The Right Unit 
|
The
climate conditions where you live will
determine whether you need a Heat
Recovery Ventilator or an Energy Recovery
Ventilator. HRV's are usually
recommended for colder climates with
longer heating seasons. ERV's are used
for warmer more humid climates with long
cooling seasons. Use map for reference.

*Note:
When installing ERVs (in ERV areas
according to the map), and the outdoor
temperature falls below 23°F (-5°C) for
more than 2 consecutive days, it is
recommended that a defrost option be
installed on the equipment.
|
| Sizing
For Your Residential Needs HRVs/ERVs
are typically sized to ventilate the
whole house at a minimum of .35 air
changes per hour. To calculate, simply
take the square footage of the house
(including basement) and multiply by the
height of the ceiling to get cubic
volume. Then, divide by 60 and multiply
by .35.
* Always consult your local code for
sizing requirements in your area.

| THE
HEART OF THE SYSTEM |
| Fantech
HRVs (like the unit
shown above) feature aluminum
heat exchanger cores. |
• In
the heating season the core
transfers heat from the outgoing,
stale household air to preheat
the incoming, fresh air.
•Cross-current sections,
ensure the two air streams are
always kept separate preventing
the incoming fresh air from being
contaminated by the outgoing
stale air.
•During the air-conditioning
season, the HRV reverses this
process, removing some of the
heat from the incoming air and
transferring it to the outgoing
air. |
| Fantech
ERVs, which are ideal
for warmer climates, use
enthalpic cores to transfer both
heat and moisture. |
•
Reduces indoor humidity in the
air conditioning season.
• Maintains a comfortable
humidity level in the home in the
heating season. |
|
| ELECTRONIC
CONTROL BOARD |
| Fantech
Heat Recovery and Energy Recovery
Units have been designed with new
"high tech" electronic
control boards. Features include: |
•
Accessory control contact allows
the ventilator to connect to
other equipment such as an
existing forced air system to
trigger the furnace blower motor
to turn on and off on demand.
• A diagnostic LED
• Allows units to be easily
operated from a remote Intellitek
Multi-Function Wall Control. |
| CHOICE
OF DEFROST MODE |
| The defrost
mode activates when the
temperature of incoming air is
below 23°F (-5°C). Two types
are available: |
| HRV
without recirculation |
| •
Features an automatic timed
supply fan "shutdown". |
| HRV
with recirculation uses
a motorized damper to temporarily
block incoming fresh air allowing
the warm air from the house to
circulate through the HRV. |
•
Maintains equal house pressure.
• Does not introduce
household odors back into the
home.
• Provides positive shutoff
of supply air when unit is in
standby mode. |
|
| FACTORY-BALANCED
EBM MOTORS |
| Fantech
HRVs and ERVs use superior
German-manufactured,
factory-balanced EBM motors. |
•
Vibration is reduced to a minimum
providing quiet operation.
• Permanently lubricated
sealed bearings guarantee long
life and maintenance-free
operation.
• Typical life expectancy of
motor is in excess of 100,000
hours.
• 7 year warranty (limited). |
| SUPERIOR
