A. INTRODUCTION

The Heatilator Home Products Heat Recovery Ventilator 200 Plus (HRV200PLUS) works as a power ventilator for the Fresh Air Fireplaces (FAF) from Heatilator and Heat-N-Glo, and is designed to provide fresh air into a building while exhausting an equal amount of stale air. This balanced operation ensures optimum performance with no effect on the relative pressurization of the structure. During winter months when the indoor space is heated, the heat recovered from the fireplace exhaust heats the incoming fresh air as both air streams pass through the heat recovery core. During summer months when the indoor space is air conditioned, the stale indoor air removes heat from the heat recovery core to cool the incoming fresh air.

The Heatilator Home Products Heat Recovery Ventilator Plus allows your home to “breathe”, expelling fireplace exhaust, stale air and airborne pollutants and providing a constant supply of healthy, fresh air.

The HRV200PLUS is certified by HVI as a stand alone ventilator and is certified by UL as part of the Fresh Air Fireplace heat recovery system.

WARNING!

The HRV200PLUS is designed specifically to work with the Fresh Air Fireplaces from Heatilator. DO NOT attempt to hook up the HRV200PLUS to other gas fireplaces or to wood burning fireplaces. The Fresh Air Fireplace MUST be installed in conjunction with the HRV200PLUS in order for it to vent properly. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ACHIEVE THIS CONFIGURATION WITH ANY OTHER FIREPLACE.

Fresh Air Fireplaces are identified by the “PLUS” suffix in the model number/nomenclature (i.e. CNXT70IPLUS).

B. HRV200PLUS APPLICATION

Selecting the proper equipment for the climate is essential for maintaining comfort levels and maximizing efficient operating conditions. In general, the following guidelines apply:

1.The HRV200PLUS is designed for climates where the heating season is typically longer than the cooling season. The HRV is equipped with an aluminum core not allowing the transfer of moisture between the air streams

2.The HRV200PLUS is suitable for use in climates where the outdoor temperature drops below 25°F (-4°C) for more than five days.

The reference map on the following page highlights geographic areas for HRV/ERV applications. ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) appliances allow moisture to transfer across the core and are appropriate for very high humidity geographies. An ERV application for the Fresh Air Fireplace is NOT available.

HRV200PLUS specifications

The Hearth and Home Technologies HRV200PLUS is an advanced heat recovery ventilator (HRV) designed to provide optimal indoor air quality while ensuring energy efficiency. As homes become increasingly airtight due to modern construction techniques, the importance of proper ventilation grows. The HRV200PLUS addresses this need by continuously exchanging stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air, effectively maintaining a healthy living environment.

One of the standout features of the HRV200PLUS is its innovative heat recovery technology. This system captures the heat from the outgoing air and transfers it to the incoming fresh air. As a result, the air being brought into the home is pre-warmed, reducing the demand on heating systems during the colder months. This energy-efficient method helps homeowners save on heating costs while maintaining comfort levels inside the home.

Another notable characteristic of the HRV200PLUS is its quiet operation. Equipped with high-performance, low-noise fans, this unit operates in silence, ensuring that occupants can enjoy a peaceful environment without the disruptive sounds often associated with ventilation systems.

Furthermore, the HRV200PLUS includes a built-in filter system that captures dust, allergens, and other airborne particles, enhancing overall air quality.

Durability and ease of maintenance are also keys in the design of the HRV200PLUS. Constructed with high-quality materials, this unit is made to last, reducing the need for frequent replacements. The filters are easily accessible, making periodic maintenance straightforward, which further extends the product's lifespan.

In summary, the Hearth and Home Technologies HRV200PLUS stands out as a premium choice for homeowners seeking a reliable and efficient ventilation solution. Its combination of heat recovery technology, quiet operation, customizable settings, and easy maintenance make it an ideal option for improving indoor air quality while keeping energy costs in check. As the emphasis on healthy living spaces continues to grow, the HRV200PLUS remains a practical investment for modern homes.
