Rotation Sensor, Dirty Filter Sensor | Greenheck Fan ERVe instruction

Rotation Sensor

The rotation sensor monitors energy recovery wheel rotation. If the wheel should stop rotating, the sensor will close a set of contacts in the unit control center. Field wiring of a light (or other alarm) between terminals R & 12 in the unit control center will notify maintenance personnel when a failure has occurred. (Refer to Remote Panel Wiring Schematics section for wiring details).

Dirty Filter Sensor

Dirty filter sensors monitor pressure drop across the outdoor air filters, exhaust air filters or both. If the pressure drop across the filters exceeds the set point, the sensor will close a set of contacts in the unit control center. Field wiring of a light (or other alarm) to these contacts will notify maintenance personnel when filters need to be replaced.

The switch has not been set at the factory due to external system losses that will affect the switch. This switch will need minor field adjustments after the unit has been installed with all ductwork complete. The dirty filter switch is mounted in the unit control center.

To adjust the switch, the unit must be running with all of the access doors in place. The adjusting screw is located on the top of the switch. Open the filter compartment and place a sheet of plastic or cardboard over 50% of the filter media. Replace the filter compartment door. Check to see if there is power at the alert signal leads. (Refer to electrical diagram).

Whether there is power or not, turn the adjustment screw on the dirty filter gauge (clockwise if you did not have power, counterclockwise if you did have power) until the power comes on or just before the power goes off. Open the filter compartment and remove the obstructing material. Replace the door and check to make sure that you do not have power at the alert signal leads. The unit is now ready for operation.

Setscrew (on front of switch) must be manually adjusted after the system is in operation.

Negative pressure connection is toward the ‘front or top’ of

the switch. (senses blower side of filters)

Positive pressure connection is toward the ‘back or bottom’ of the switch. (senses air inlet side of filters)

16Model ERVe Energy Recovery Unit

CO2 Sensor

This accessory is often used to provide a modulating control signal to a variable frequency drive to raise and lower airflow in relationship to the CO2 levels in the space. This strategy is often referred to as Demand Control Ventilation and provides further energy savings to the system. Follow instructions supplied with sensor for installation and wiring details.

Service Outlet

120 VAC GFCI service outlet ships loose for field installation. Requires separate power source so power is available when unit main disconnect is turned off for servicing.

Vapor Tight Lights

Vapor tight lights provide light to each of the compartments in the energy

recovery unit. The lights are wired to a junction box mounted on the outside of the unit. The switch to turn the lights on is located in the unit control center. The switch requires a separate power source to allow for power to the lights when the unit main disconnect is off for servicing.

ERVe specifications

The Greenheck Fan ERVe series stands at the forefront of energy-efficient ventilation solutions, specifically designed to meet the growing demands for energy conservation and enhanced indoor air quality in commercial buildings. As part of Greenheck's commitment to innovation, the ERVe series offers a variety of models tailored to diverse applications, including schools, hospitals, and office buildings.

One of the key features of the ERVe series is its advanced energy recovery technology. The ERVe utilizes a heat recovery wheel that efficiently transfers heat and moisture between the exhaust and incoming airstreams. This process significantly reduces heating and cooling loads on HVAC systems, promoting energy savings and improving overall system efficiency. By reclaiming energy that would otherwise be wasted, the ERVe ensures that buildings not only conform to energy codes but also contribute to sustainability goals.

The ERVe series is designed with versatility in mind. It offers multiple configurations, including vertical and horizontal orientations, which makes it adaptable to various installation environments. Additionally, the unit can be equipped with a range of options such as pre-filters, post-filters, and variable speed drive motors, allowing for customization based on specific application needs. This adaptability ensures that the ERVe can meet the specific air quality requirements of different spaces while maintaining optimal airflow.

Another significant characteristic of the ERVe series is its low noise operation. The design incorporates advanced acoustical features, including sound attenuators and insulated panels, which minimize sound transmission and enhance occupant comfort. As noise control becomes increasingly important in settings like educational institutions and healthcare facilities, the ERVe series excels in providing a peaceful indoor environment.

Moreover, the ERVe series is engineered with durability in mind. Constructed from high-quality materials, the units are built to withstand the rigors of continuous operation. The robust design not only extends the service life of the equipment but also reduces maintenance requirements, leading to lower overall operational costs.

In terms of control and monitoring, the ERVe series is compatible with various building management systems, allowing for integration into sophisticated HVAC controls. This feature enables real-time data tracking and optimization, enhancing the efficiency of indoor climate management.

Overall, the Greenheck Fan ERVe series represents a significant advancement in ventilation technology, combining energy efficiency, customizable features, low noise operation, and durability. These characteristics ensure that the ERVe is a reliable choice for modern commercial buildings striving for improved air quality and reduced energy consumption.
