ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Energy Recovery Wheel Maintenance
Annual inspection of the energy recovery wheel is recommended . Units
ventilating smoking lounges and other non-clean air spaces should
have energy recovery wheel inspections more often based upon need .
Inspections for smoke ventilation applications are recommended
bimonthly to quarterly until a regular schedule can be established .
ACCESSING ENERGY RECOVERY WHEEL
The HRE units have one energy recovery wheel . Open the outdoor
air filter door to access the wheel . For the HRE-20 and HRE-45
models, the wheel cassette slides out . Due to the size and weight
of the HRE-55 and HRE-90 wheels, they remain stationary and all
maintenance is performed in place . There is room inside the unit to
perform energy recovery wheel servicing . Filters must be removed to
access stationary wheels .
**WARNING: Disconnect power to the unit before performing
any type of service.
