  • Page 7: How The Nu-Air System Works

     Heat Recovery Core  Drain Hose Assembly  Balancing dampers are NOT REQUIRED. Windsor Series HRVs from Nu-Air are equipped with a system which allows the installer to adjust each motor in both high and low speed.  Removable terminal blocks for timers, remote controls, furnace interlock. A 4-wire terminal block for 12 VDC ES Series controls and a 10-wire terminal block for 24 V controls are provided with the unit.
  • Page 8: Installation System Options

    Nu-Air Ventilation Systems Inc. - HRV Operating & Installation Manual  Keep use of flexible ducting to a minimum.  Be sure to observe local codes regarding running and insulating ducts in unconditioned spaces. Poorly insulated ducts run in unconditioned spaces will hamper the efficiency of the HRV.
  • Page 9 Nu-Air Ventilation Systems Inc. - HRV Operating & Installation Manual 3.2.2. The Extended Exhaust System This system uses the HRV in conjunction with a forced air furnace distribution system. In this system the HRV supply air to the house is introduced into the return duct of the forced air furnace.
  • Page 10: Ducting To The Outside

    Nu-Air Ventilation Systems Inc. - HRV Operating & Installation Manual 2) In cases where the HRV is coupled with a central air handling system, the HRV fresh air supply duct to the return air plenum shall be connected at a sufficient distance upstream of the plenum connection to the furnace.
  • Page 11: Mounting & Noise Control

    Access to a drain or sump is required to handle the HRV condensate. Care should be taken to run the condensate tube where it cannot freeze. For best results, Nu-Air recommends the following steps be followed when installing drain kits on residential HRV's.
  • Page 12 Nu-Air Ventilation Systems Inc. - HRV Operating & Installation Manual 2. Insert the drain spouts through the holes in the drain pan (B) 3. Use the provided nut to tightly secure the drain spout 4. Cut two lengths of drain hose (E) long enough to avoid kinking 5.
  • Page 13: Balancing The System: High And Low Speed

    Balanced air flow between the supply and exhaust air streams is essential to the performance of an HRV or ERV. With the Windsor Series, changing motor speeds or balancing is quick and simple with two buttons recessed slightly into the unit’s cabinet. NO BALANCING DAMPERS ARE REQUIRED. Be sure to close windows and doors, and turn off all exhaust fans/appliances during the balancing procedure.
  • Page 14: Controls

    To balance the HRV, you will need a device to measure air flow. It is recommended to use either a magnehelic gauge or an air meter, both of which are available from Nu-Air. Depending on the device you are using, follow one of the two procedures below: Magnehelic Gauge: 1.

    Nu-Air Ventilation Systems Inc. - HRV Operating & Installation Manual 4.4. Furnace Interlock For simplified (return/return) duct systems, it is mandatory that the HRV be interlocked with the furnace blower such that the furnace fan runs when the HRV is on to distribute supply air throughout the space.
  • Page 20: Maintenance

    Dirty filters can reduce ventilation efficiency, result in unbalanced airflow and damage or shorten the life of the motors. Vacuum every three months. Polyester filters should typically be replaced every 1-3 years. Permanent electrostatic filters are available from your Nu-Air dealer. Filters remove easily by opening the front cover.
