RX Energy Recovery (ERV) Module

The energy recovery wheel inside the ERV unit transfers energy from the warmer to the cooler air stream through counter-flowing supply and exhaust air streams through a slow rotating wheel. The large energy transfer surface arranged to provide laminar air flow through the wheel causes the constant flow of recovered energy to represent up to 80% of the difference in total energy contained within the two air streams.

The Rx (ERV) Series is designed as a stand-alone unit for use in applications requiring maximum energy efficiency in a make-up air unit, up to 100% outside air.

Sizes 300 – 12,000 CFM of outdoor air mixed with return air or up to 100% outside air
Avoids using large gas makeup air units and complicated refrigeration controls to handle outside air
Simple operation facilitates ease of maintenance and troubleshooting
Decreases building equipment tonnage required, which reduces installation costs
Can cut loop costs up to 50% for ground loop (geothermal) applications by reducing equipment tonnage required
AirXchange ARI 1060 certified energy recovery wheels are used and carry a 5 year limited warranty
The wheel desiccant material is permanently integrated into the media of the wheel
The energy recover cassette is a UL® recognized component for electrical and fire safety
Available with enthalpy or sensible only wheel for a variety of applications
Available in downflow, over/under and side-by-side configurations
Epoxy powder paint finish to withstand outdoor environments
Centrifugal belt-driven forward-curved blowers with adjustable pulleys and isolation pads
High efficiency motors are thermally protected
2″ pleated pre-filters for outside air with 2″ pleated filters on exhaust air help keep the wheel clean
Up to MERV 13 filter compatible
Heavy duty base rails for easy lifting and rigging
All wheels are designed to easily slide in and out of the ERV for servicing
Continuous operation down to 10°F (-12°C) without defrost at indoor relative humidity up to 40%
For temperatures below 10°F (-12°C), Optional Low Ambient Control Kit is required.
