“Normal” speed and furnace blower is running. Fantech heat recovery ventilators (HRV) that use a supply fan shutdown for frost prevention do not include an outdoor air motorized damper. If you are using a simplified installation, i.e. connecting the HRV supply air duct to a furnace's return air duct, the HRV must operate continuously.

If you are using a simplified installation, i.e. connecting the HRV supply air duct to a furnace's return air duct, the HRV must operate continuously. When the HRV is turned off, no warm exhaust air will flow through the HRV but the furnace's fan will continue to draw in outdoor air directly into the furnace.
