Maximizing the unit’s performance

installation

The HRV must be balanced properly in order to operate at maximum performance and avoid problems.

Balancing the Unit

installation

Balancing the unit is an important step in the installation of the HRV. The operation consists of measuring and regulating the volume of fresh air from outside passing through the unit is equal with the exhaust air from home.

figure 11.1 Balancing Dampers- Model SHMTM and Model SHTM

A 10% variation is acceptable, in such case, the volume of exhaust air from home should be superior than the volume of fresh air from outside.

Refer to Ventilation Needs, page 3 to determine what is the volume of air needed for your specific installation.

installation

A Magnehelic gauge equiped with an air flow grid is used to measure the volume of air passing through the unit and ducting sys- tem. Make sure that the airflow grid is the same size as the conduit beeing mesured. Check for size on grid. (Figure 11.6)

figure 11.5 Avoid leakage by sealing air flow grid in duct with duct tape.

Step 1: To get proper readings, mount the air flow grid inside a rigid ducting at a minimum of 18 inches from the unit. This will avoid getting unstable airflow witch could offset the readings. (Figure 11.2)

Step 2: Start with the fresh air from outside duct. Drill a hole in the conduit and insert the air flow grid. Make sure to mount the grid following the direction of the airflow arrow. (Figure 11.3)

Step 3: The magnehelic gauge needs to be leveled and should read «0» before taking any readings. Determine your airflow volume by consulting the grid’s chart. It can differ from one gauge size to an other.

(Figure 11.4)

Step 4: On this unit the airflow is regulated by a balancing damper installed inside the ISFTM collar system located on the top right side of the HRV. (Figure 11.1)

Measure and regulate the «fresh air from outside» damper until desired airflow volume. Repeat the same steps for the «exhaust air from home» damper.

Step 5: Finish the balancing operation by tapping all the holes made from the mounting of the airflow grid. (Figure 11.5)
