UNIT INSTALLATION

!CAUTION

UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage or improper operation.

Do not install ERV/HRV in a corrosive or contaminated atmosphere.

Mount Unit

The ERV/HRV can be suspended from floor joists using chains and 4 springs. Attach metal hanging bracket to all 4 sides of cabinet. (See Fig. 6.) The unit may be installed on a shelf if an isolation pad is provided to dampen vibration. Unit should always be installed as level as possible.

Independent System Application

In the absence of a forced-air system and a typical duct system layout, the ERV/HRV can be applied as an independent or stand

alone unit. To ensure comfort, this type of application involves running both fresh-air and return-air registers (or stale-air pickup registers) throughout the home.

Fresh-air registers are normally located in bedrooms, dining room, living room, and basement. It is recommended that registers be placed 6 to 12-in. (152 to 305mm) from the ceiling on an interior wall and airflow directed toward ceiling. If registers are floor installed, airflow should be directed toward the wall.

!WARNING

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.

Do not install return-air registers (or stale-air pickup registers) in same room as gas furnace or water heater.

Return-air (or stale-air pickup registers) are normally located to draw from kitchen, bathroom, basement, or other rooms where stale-air can exist.

Proper size and type of registers must be used to minimize pressure drop. The velocity of airflow through register should not be above 400 ft (122m) per minute.

Maximum length of duct for the system should be designed according to the highest speed of the unit. Refer to specifications listed in unit Product Data Digest for ventilation capacities.

Forced-Air Application

Most ERV/HRV applications will be installed in conjunction with new or existing forced-air system. To operate properly, the fresh-air supply and stale-air return from ERV/HRV connect directly to return-air duct system. This is how the ERV/HRV distributes fresh air and removes stale air from inside of building (See Fig. 7). For these installations, furnace or fan coil blower must be interlocked and operate continuously whenever ERV/HRV is energized. See Fig. 17 for interlock wiring detail.

NOTE: The fresh air from ERV/HRV is introduced into return-air duct at a point no less than 6 ft (1.8m) upstream of furnace or fan coil. This connection should be direct (See Fig. 7). This is to allow incoming fresh-air to mix before entering indoor equipment.

The Carrier ERVCCSVB1100, HRVCCSVB1100, HRVCCSHB1100, and ERVCCSHB1100 represent the latest advancements in residential and commercial ventilation systems. These systems are designed to enhance indoor air quality while ensuring energy efficiency, making them ideal solutions for modern buildings.

One of the main features of these units is their recovery ventilation technology. Both the Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) and Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) options are engineered to efficiently transfer heat and moisture between incoming and outgoing air streams. This process reduces energy consumption by pre-conditioning fresh air, thereby minimizing the workload on heating and cooling systems.

The ERVCCSVB1100 and ERVCCSHB1100 models are particularly well-suited for humid climates where moisture control is critical. They utilize a sophisticated enthalpy exchange process, which allows excess humidity to be transferred from the stale air to the incoming fresh air, thereby reducing the burden on air conditioning systems and maintaining optimal indoor humidity levels. This feature is essential for enhancing occupant comfort and safeguarding building materials from moisture-related damage.

On the other hand, the HRVCCSVB1100 and HRVCCSHB1100 units shine in drier climates where humidity control is less of a concern. These systems focus on heat recovery, effectively transferring thermal energy without exchanging moisture. This is particularly advantageous during winter months, as they provide fresh air while conserving precious heat, thus optimizing energy utilization and contributing to lower utility bills.

Another critical characteristic of all four models is their quiet operation. Designed with sound-dampening technologies, they ensure minimal noise disturbance, thereby maintaining a peaceful indoor environment. This is especially valuable in residential settings or commercial spaces that require a distraction-free atmosphere.

Additionally, the units come with intelligent controls that allow users to monitor and adjust settings according to their specific needs. Features such as programmable timers and remote access capabilities provide convenience and flexibility for users, enabling them to optimize their indoor air quality effortlessly.

In summary, Carrier's ERVCCSVB1100, HRVCCSVB1100, HRVCCSHB1100, and ERVCCSHB1100 models offer a comprehensive suite of features, advanced technologies, and characteristics tailored to meet the demands of modern indoor environments. By integrating energy recovery ventilation with user-friendly controls, they set a new standard for efficiency, comfort, and air quality in various building types.
