  • Page 6: Service Clearances

    SERVICE CLEARANCES / ACCESS PANEL LOCATIONS for Model HRE HRE-20, 45, 55, and 90 units require minimum clearances for access on all sides for routine maintenance. Filter replacement, drain pan inspection and cleaning, energy wheel cassette inspection, fan bearing lubrication and belt adjustment, are examples of routine maintenance that must be performed.

  • Page 8: Water Control Options

    WATER CONTROL OPTIONS FOR EVAPORATIVE COOLING Auto Drain and Fill with Freeze Protection This system will automatically drain the sump tank and fill it with fresh water at the field adjustable intervals, typically once every 24 hours. This flushes mineral build-up and debris from the tank to promote low maintenance and increase media pad life.

  • Page 10: Maintenance

    EVAPORATIVE COOLING MAINTENANCE Regularly scheduled maintenance is the key to peak performance, minimized cost, and extended life of the evaporative cooler. The following is a checklist of items that need to be looked at on a regular basis. The media should be checked for mineral and foreign material deposits that have built up.
  • Page 11: Water Coil Recommendations

    WATER COIL APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS Factory installed heating components are mounted down stream of the energy wheel (and direct evaporative cooler if supplied) on the supply air side of the unit. See FIGURE 10 for coil connection location. Coil connections are located external to the unit as shown.
  • Page 12: Electric Heater Application/Operation

    ELECTRIC HEATER APPLICATION/OPERATION Factory installed electric heaters can be provided for preheat and/or post-heat (see FIGURE 11). An electric preheater warms the outdoor air prior to the energy recovery wheel to prevent frosting on the wheel. An electric post-heater warms the air leaving the energy recovery wheel to a user specified discharge temperature. Electric heaters are available in 208, 230, or 460 Vac (refer to heater nameplate for voltage).
  • Page 13: Frost Control Application/Operation

    FROST CONTROL APPLICATION/OPERATION When outdoor air temperatures are extremely cold, moisture condensation and frosting on the energy recovery wheel is possible. Frost control is an optional feature that will prevent wheel frosting. Two options are available: 1) Timed Exhaust frost control and 2) Preheat frost control Timed exhaust frost control includes a thermostat (with probe) mounted in the supply air inlet compartment (see...
  • Page 14: Economizer Application/Operation

    ECONOMIZER APPLICATION/OPERATION The energy recovery wheel may be de-energized for the purpose of providing economizer (free cooling) operation. This can be achieved with a signal from a Temperature or Enthalpy sensor mounted in the supply air inlet compartment (see FIGURE 13). This Primary sensor will de-energize the energy wheel when the outdoor air temperature (factory default is 65°F) or enthalpy (factory default is the ‘D’...

  • Page 19: Coil Maintenance

    WATER COIL MAINTENANCE CAUTION: See **WARNING** on Page 1 and 15 FILTERS Filters upstream of the coil should be checked regularly. If the filters are dirty, they should be cleaned or replaced. It is important that the coils stay clean to maintain desired airflow. See page 18 for more information on filter maintenance.
  • Page 20: Energy Recovery Wheel Maint

    ACCESSING ENERGY RECOVERY WHEEL For the HRE-20 and HRE-45, open the access door marked "Energy Wheel Cassette Access" (FIGURE 20). UNPLUG the wheel drive motor and remove the metal spacer. Then pull the cassette out halfway (FIGURE 21). The energy recovery wheel cassettes for model HRE-55 and HRE-90 do not slide out due to their size and weight.
  • Page 21: Removing Wheel Segments

    REMOVING THE ENERGY RECOVERY WHEEL SEGMENTS Model HRE-20, 45, 55, & 90 Steel retainers are located on the inside of the wheel rim (FIGURE 22). Push the retainer toward center of wheel, then lift up and away to release segments (FIGURE 23).
