The Integrated HVAC System

WARNING: This unit is a quiet, efficient, low pres- sure system. Special care and attention should be given if connecting this unit to any other air han- dler that may draw more air than this unit is de- signed to accommodate.

In installations where it is satisfactory to provide general exhaust from the space, the air to be exhausted may be- taken directly from the return air plenum to the HRV as it is drawn back to the air handler. Fresh air supplied by the HRV is then introduced directly into the return air plenum

but at a location closer to the air handler. The air handler would have a constant running blower to effectively distrib- ute the fresh air and remove the stale air. Balancing damp- ers would be located in both the HRV supply and exhaust ducts between the return air plenum and the HRV.

In installations where it is necessary or desirable to have an extended ducting system, it is recommended to have a qualified designer/engineer size and design the ducting system to ensure optimum removal and distribution of air is achieved.

Electrical Connections

System is 208/240V, 1 phase, 60 Hz. This unit meets all local codes and requirements.

It is STRONGLY recommended that an electrical discon- nect be installed prior to the HRV, and that it is turned off and locked out before servicing the unit.

All electrical connections should be made by a qualified electrician.

Two (2) knockouts are provided. One is to be used for line voltage, and the other one for 24V control wires.

Balancing

The HRV 1500 SFD/SFDE have been programmed to provide constant airflow on each airstream for external static pres- sures of up to 1” w.g.

Within this range, each airflow can be adjusted as described on page 5. After 1” w.g. of external static pressure, the unit acts as a regular system and the following balancing pro- cedure should be used.

HRV 1500 SFD, 1500 SFDE specifications

The American Aldes HRV 1500 SFD and 1500 SFDE are advanced heat recovery ventilators designed to enhance indoor air quality while optimizing energy efficiency in residential and commercial spaces. These models utilize cutting-edge technology to ensure a constant supply of fresh air while simultaneously removing stale air, providing a balanced and healthy indoor environment.

One of the standout features of the HRV 1500 series is its high-performance heat exchanger. This component efficiently transfers heat from the outgoing stale air to the incoming fresh air, significantly reducing the energy loss typically associated with ventilation systems. As a result, buildings can maintain comfortable temperatures with reduced heating and cooling costs. The HRV 1500 SFD model is particularly effective for spaces up to 1500 square feet, while the HRV 1500 SFDE variant serves similar square footage with additional functionality.

Both models are equipped with a dual-fan design that ensures optimal airflow and distribution throughout the building. The fans operate quietly, providing a peaceful indoor atmosphere, and are designed for easy maintenance. The HRV 1500 series includes advanced filters that capture airborne particles, enhancing overall air quality. This feature is especially beneficial for allergy sufferers or those sensitive to pollutants.

Another notable characteristic of the HRV 1500 series is its user-friendly control system. The models seamlessly integrate with smart home technologies, allowing users to monitor and adjust ventilation settings remotely. Additionally, they come with intuitive controls that provide real-time feedback on airflow and system performance.

Energy efficiency is a cornerstone of the HRV 1500 series, which is certified by various energy standards, ensuring compliance with modern building codes. The robust design and durable materials used in these units provide long-term reliability, making them a wise investment for homeowners and building managers alike.

In summary, the American Aldes HRV 1500 SFD and 1500 SFDE heat recovery ventilators offer advanced technology, efficient performance, and a commitment to enhancing indoor air quality. With their high-efficiency heat exchangers, dual-fan systems, advanced filtration, and smart control capabilities, these models stand out in the market for effective residential and commercial ventilation solutions.
