Frost Control
Extremely cold outdoor air temperatures can cause
moisture condensation and frosting on the energy
recovery wheel. Frost control is an optional feature that
will prevent/control wheel frosting.
1. Timed Exhaust frost control
This option is provided with a thermodisc mounted in
the outdoor air intake compartment.
Timed exhaust frost control includes a timer in
addition to the thermodisc. When timed exhaust frost
control is initiated, the timer will turn the supply blower
off. Time exhaust using default timer setting will shut
down the supply fan for 5 minutes every 30 minutes
to allow exhaust to defrost energy wheel. Use the test
procedure for troubleshooting.
Frost Control Test Procedure
1. Remove power from unit.
2. Jumper the temperature indicating thermodisc in
the unit control center. Thermodisc has a pre-set
temperature of 5ºF.
3. Set the frost control timer scale for T1 and T2 to 1m.
Set the timer settings for T1 and T2 to 10.
4. Add power to the unit. Blower should cycle on for
one minute, then turn off for one minute.
5. Remove power from unit and remove jumpers that
were placed. Re-set timer settings.
• T1 timer setting set to 5 and timer scale set to
10m for 5 minutes of wheel off time.
