2
Trouble-Free ERV What is RenewAire? An advanced static-plate exchanger
3
Trouble-Free ERV What does RenewAire do? 1. Transfers heat by conduction 2. Transfers humidity using hydroscopic resin

13
Trouble-Free ERV Target Market Schools Medical and veterinary clinics Nursing Homes Hospitality facilities that accommodate smokers Facilities with multiple ventilation requirements
14
Trouble-Free ERV Flushes Out Contaminants Dries Excess Moisture Dispels Odors CAN COST A LOT But Ventilation with Energy Recovery Minimizes That Cost CONVENTIONAL VENTILATION
15
Trouble-Free ERV ERVs versus HRVs Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs) transfer temperature differential only Aluminum and plastic plate exchangers and heat pipes Good for high humidity and high temperature applications Positive air stream separation Not often used for general building ventilation because of low efficiency
16
Trouble-Free ERV HRVs Shortcomings? Complex controls Seasonal Adds humidity to the building in summer Condensate pan and drain required Active defrost required anywhere north of Florida Low overall efficiency Temperature exchange only Lifebreath 700 FD
17
Trouble-Free ERV ERVs versus HRVs Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) transfer temperature and humidity differential Desiccant wheels and enthalpic plate units Best in cold climates and hot humid climates High temperature and humidity transfer efficiency Not used for indoor pools etc.
18
Trouble-Free ERV How are Wheels Vulnerable? Complex controls Cross contamination - purge air required Parasitic power consumption High (expensive) maintenance Failure mode impacts HVAC load Wheel stops, recovery stops Failure=100% outside air Air leakage at seals – Lost Air Semco FV2000
19
Trouble-Free ERV Wheel Leakage Effects Media Rotation Exhaust Air Outdoor Air Diameter Seals=Contamination Circumference Seals= Lost Efficiency
20
Trouble-Free ERV Lost Air Effects SEMCO FV600 Not ARI Certified – SEMCO data Outdoor Air Fresh Air Supply Exhaust Air Room Air PURGE AIR (150 CFM ) Media Rotation 450 CFM Wheel Cross Section 600 CFM 450 CFM Pressure = 0.00 Exhaust Air Transfer = 0.04% OACF = 1.33
21
Trouble-Free ERV ARI-1060-2000 Air-to-Air Energy Recovery Ventilation Equipment Product Certification
22
Trouble-Free ERV What is Certified? The energy recovery component Performance at “Standard Conditions” Winter - OA= 35°Fdb, 33°Fwb RA=70°Fdb, 58°Fwb Summer - OA= 95°Fdb, 78°Fwb RA=75°Fdb, 63°Fwb Airflow, pressure drop, effectiveness, purge air (OACF), and cross contamination (EATR)

Trouble-Free ERV Without Regular, Professional Service System Failure !
29
Trouble-Free ERV “Lost Air” is Significant in Wheels Small wheels 15-30% purge air and still some exhaust air transfer Small wheels over 50% purge air to achieve 0.0 exhaust air transfer Large wheels typically 10-20%
30
Trouble-Free ERV Desiccant Degradation ARI-1060 testing was conducted on a desiccant wheel exchanger from a major US manufacturer The unit was removed for testing after being used for an equivalent of four years in a residential application Aged performance was compared to certified data for the product
31
Trouble-Free ERV Desiccant Degradation Con’t Cross leakage of exhaust air into fresh air (EATR) increased from 10.0% to 19.5%, an increase of 95% Sensible exchange efficiency decreased from 75.0% to 70%, a decrease of 7% due to increased leakage Total exchange efficiency decreased from 70% to 58%, a decrease of 17% due mainly to desiccant degradation
32

33
Trouble-Free ERV Dirty Wheels Don’t Expose Desiccant Close-up of wheel surface H²O CO² Formaldehyde
34
Trouble-Free ERV Wheel Maintenance is Critical Air-X-Change recommends buying a replacement wheel with each unit to switch out for cleaning Seal adjustment and replacement Trueing wheel Belt or drive adjustment or replacement
