Technology
In the early 1980s, VRF technology was introduced to the world as an
alternative method of cooling and heating in commercial
structures designed to minimize energy consumption. VRF systems
have become the system of choice for designers internationally
because these systems offer better comfort at substantially lower
operating costs when compared to traditional HVAC systems. Older

• If an electric duct heater is connected, it must include a built-in safety device to prevent heater operation when
airflow is not present, to prevent the possibility of fire, property damage, and/or personal injury.
• When the outdoor air temperature falls below the ERV operating limit (14°F), the electric duct heater

fan speed can be adjusted from the factory setting using external
static pressure (ESP) control settings to change fan speeds to
compensate for airflow resistance caused by field installed ductwork.
Cross flow Air-to-air Heat Exchanger

Cross flow air-to-air heat exchanger is constructed of non-
flammable, specially processed paper that allows transfer of heat
and humidity. The air-to-air heat exchanger recovers energy from
indoor air as it is exhausted outdoors. The recovered energy is
transferred to the in-coming outdoor air without mixing airstreams.
A hinged access panel allows removal of air-to-air heat exchanger
for vacuum or brush cleaning. Since both heat and humidity are
transferred, condensate drain is not required.
