(provided) vertical to the TFP cabinet and

 

reinstall mounting bolts.

5.

Lift the TFP into position. Edge of TFP must be

NOTE: Do not support the weight of the TFP on the duct. Duct must be open and not pinched.

NOTE: Due to possible noise transfer through the duct system, it may be preferable in some situations to hang the TFP a short distance from the plenum, and connect by running flexible ducting between them. Four nylon hanging straps are provided for this option.

TFP2000, TFPC2000 specifications

The Lifebreath TFP2000 and TFPC2000 are advanced heat and energy recovery ventilators designed to improve indoor air quality while maximizing energy efficiency. These units are particularly beneficial for homes and buildings where fresh air circulation and temperature control are vital.

One of the main features of the Lifebreath TFP2000 and TFPC2000 is their ability to provide balanced ventilation. By simultaneously exhausting stale indoor air and bringing in fresh outdoor air, these systems ensure that the air within the building is continuously refreshed. This process helps to reduce common indoor air pollutants, allergens, and humidity, leading to a healthier living environment.

Both models utilize a high-efficiency heat exchanger, which is instrumental in transferring heat from the outgoing air to the incoming air. This energy recovery process significantly reduces heating and cooling demands, allowing users to save on energy costs. The TFP2000 and TFPC2000 can efficiently transfer up to 80% of the heat energy, making them exceptionally effective in maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures.

The Lifebreath systems are equipped with advanced filtration technology. The high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters trap particulates such as dust, pollen, and mold spores. This feature is crucial for individuals with allergies or respiratory issues, as it ensures that the air they breathe is clean and free from harmful contaminants.

Another notable characteristic is their quiet operation. Both the TFP2000 and TFPC2000 are designed with sound-dampening features that minimize noise during the ventilation process. This ensures that users can enjoy a comfortable living space without disruptive sounds, making these units suitable for residential settings.

Installation is straightforward, as both models come with pre-assembled components and user-friendly guidelines. They can be incorporated into various HVAC systems, allowing flexibility in design and usage. Additionally, both units are compact, making them ideal for homes with limited space.

In conclusion, the Lifebreath TFP2000 and TFPC2000 offer a comprehensive solution for indoor air quality management. With their advanced heat recovery capabilities, high-efficiency filtration, and quiet operation, they present an effective way to keep indoor environments healthy while optimizing energy use. Their blend of innovation and practicality makes them a valuable addition to any home or building looking to enhance air quality and energy efficiency.
