Fan Wheel & Fasteners

Wheels require very little attention when moving clean air. Occasionally oil and dust may accumulate on the wheel causing imbalance. When this occurs the wheel and housing should be cleaned to assure smooth and safe operation. Inspect fan impeller and housing for fatigue, corrosion or wear.

Routinely check all fasteners, set screws and locking collars on the fan, bearings, drive, motor base and accessories for tightness. A proper maintenance program will help preserve the performance and reliability designed into the fan.

Bearings

Most bearings are permanently lubricated and require no further lubrication under normal use. Normal use being considered -20ºF to 120ºF and in a relatively clean environment. Some bearings are re-lubricatable and will need to be regreased depending on fan use. Check your bearings for grease zerk fittings to find out what type of bearing you have. If your fan is not being operated under normal use, bearings should be checked monthly for lubrication.

External Filter Maintenance

Aluminum mesh, 2-inch deep filters are located in the supply weatherhood (if the weatherhood option was purchased). Filters should be checked and cleaned on a regular basis for best efficiency. The frequency of cleaning depends upon the cleanliness of the incoming air. These filters should be cleaned prior to start-up.

Clean filters by rinsing with a mild detergent in warm water.

Internal Filter Maintenance

The ERVe units are always provided with 2-inch, pleated filters in the outdoor air and exhaust airstreams. These filters should be checked per a routine maintenance schedule and replaced as necessary to ensure proper airflow through the unit. See table for pleated filter size and quantity for each unit. Replacement filters shall be of same performance and quality as factory installed filters. Filter type must be pleated design with integral metal grid. Two acceptable filter replacements are Aerostar Series 400 or Farr 30/30®.

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.
