Typical Applications

The ERV unit can add to the benefit of a building design anywhere that outdoor air is required and the exhaust air is considered “clean” (ASHRAE class 1 or class 2 air ratings). Some examples of commercial and institutional applications where energy recovery units have been utilized are given below.

Animal Shelters

Bars and Clubs

Churches

Dormitories

Locker Rooms

Nursing Homes

Office Buildings

Printing Shops

Restaurants

Schools

Function Halls

Casinos

Veterinary Hospitals

 

 

 

With Ducted Air Handlers

The ERV unit may be combined with ducted air handling units or fan coil boxes. A single energy recovery ventilator may provide fresh outdoor air for multiple air handling units or in a one-to-one ratio where a single energy recovery ventilator and air handler serve one space.

with packaged rooftop equipment. Fresh, outdoor air enters the energy recovery ventilator and is pretreated before entering the heating/cooling equipment. This pretreating occurs because the energy recovery wheel is transferring latent and sensible energy between the outdoor air and the building exhaust air.

The core is engineered for high efficiency, delivering seasonal energy savings and contributing to LEED certification for green buildings.

Another notable characteristic of the Greenheck ERV is its versatility. The units come in various sizes and configurations to meet different building specifications and ventilation requirements. They are suitable for a wide range of applications, from schools and offices to hospitals and industrial spaces. Users can customize the ERV to suit specific needs, including options for enhanced filtration, integrated controls, and multiple airflow configurations.

The construction quality of Greenheck ERVs is also commendable. They feature robust materials that ensure long-lasting performance and durability, even in demanding environments. The units are designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, making them reliable for year-round operation. Furthermore, the noise levels are minimized thanks to their well-engineered design, providing a comfortable indoor environment free of distracting sounds.

Greenheck has incorporated advanced controls and monitoring technologies into its ERV systems. This feature allows users to track performance, optimize energy use, and maintain indoor air quality. The controls can be integrated with building management systems for seamless operation. Moreover, the units are designed for ease of maintenance, with accessible components that simplify servicing and repairs.

In summary, Greenheck Fan's Energy Recovery Ventilator combines energy efficiency, versatility, and advanced technology to deliver exceptional indoor air quality solutions. Its energy-recovery capabilities, adaptability to various applications, durable construction, and advanced controls position it as a leading choice in the market for energy recovery and ventilation solutions.
