Trouble-Free ERV for over 20 years!
2
Trouble-Free ERV Energy Recovery Ventilation for School Applications
3
Trouble-Free ERV What is an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) An air-to-air heat exchanger that… … recovers energy from both heat and humidity.
4
Trouble-Free ERV How Does ERV Work?
5
Trouble-Free ERV Cold Dry Warm Humid Heating Season Conventional Ventilation
6
Trouble-Free ERV Cold Dry Warm Humid Heating Season Energy Recovery Ventilation ERV Less Warm Less Humid Less Dry Less Cold
7
Trouble-Free ERV Hot Humid Cool Dry Cooling Season Conventional Ventilation
8
Trouble-Free ERV Hot Humid Cool Dry Cooling Season Energy Recovery Ventilation ERV Less Cool Less Dry Less Hot Less Humid

Trouble-Free ERV Lost Air Effects Micrometl ERV-AA Rated Airflow = 500CFM Outdoor Air Fresh Air Supply Exhaust Air Room Air PURGE AIR (10 CFM ) Media Rotation 500 CFM Wheel Cross Section 510 CFM 500 CFM Pressure = -0.5 Exhaust Air Transfer = 9.9% OACF = 1.02
23
Trouble-Free ERV Lost Air Effects Micrometl ERV-AA Rated Airflow = 500CFM Outdoor Air Fresh Air Supply Exhaust Air Room Air PURGE AIR (165 CFM ) Media Rotation 500 CFM Wheel Cross Section 665 CFM 500 CFM Pressure = 0.00 Exhaust Air Transfer = 0.2% OACF = 1.33
24
Trouble-Free ERV Lost Air Effects Micrometl ERV-AA Rated Airflow = 500CFM Outdoor Air Fresh Air Supply Exhaust Air Room Air PURGE AIR (295 CFM ) Media Rotation 500 CFM Wheel Cross Section 795 CFM 500 CFM Pressure = +0.5 Exhaust Air Transfer = 0.0% OACF = 1.59
25
Trouble-Free ERV “Lost Air” is Significant in Wheels Small wheels 15-30% and still some exhaust air transfer Small wheels over 50% to achieve 0.0 exhaust air transfer Large wheels typically 10-20%
26
Trouble-Free ERV Lost Air Effects RenewAire EV450 Rated Airflow = 450 CFM Outdoor Air Exhaust Air Fresh Air Supply 450 CFM 459 CFM Room Air 450 CFM Pressure = 0.0 Exhaust Air Transfer = 0.0% OACF = 1.02
27
Trouble-Free ERV Wheel Performance - A Delicate Balance Low Efficiency Low Cross ContaminationHigh Efficiency High Cross Contamination Ventilation System Design Low Efficiency Low Cross ContaminationHigh Efficiency High Cross Contamination Ventilation System Design
28
Trouble-Free ERV Minimum Purge Air Losses = No Overbuilding of System Low Cross Contamination High Efficiency Ventilation System Design = Capital Savings
29
Trouble-Free ERV Routine Wheel Maintenance 1. Remove wheel module 2. Disassemble module 3. Recondition exchange medium 4. Adjust/replace seals 5. Adjust/replace belts or drive 6. Reassemble module 7. True wheel 8. Replace module
30
Trouble-Free ERV Wheel Maintenance Cost 2.5 hours – 8.5 hours x $70/hour (Madison, WI) $175 - $595 x 2/year $350 - $1190 per wheel!
31
Trouble-Free ERV Maintenance Downtime Wheel stops: no energy recovery Air-X-Change has recommended buying a replacement wheel with each unit to switch out for maintenance
32
