Page 15: Installation Options
Stirling Technology, Inc. Installation Options ® There are three basic ways to install the inside ducts for the RecoupAerator Option 1: Dedicated Ductwork This is the most complete installation option and is ideal for new construction. It should be used when the customer has a specific problem associated with indoor air quality. It is also the only option for homes without forced air heating systems. - Page 16 Stirling Technology, Inc. Option 2: Shared Ductwork Method 1. This method utilizes the existing home HVAC duct system completely. Both ® the stale air removal and the fresh air in ducts from your RecoupAerator will be attached to the cold air return duct of your HVAC system. Be sure to keep at least 3 feet of space along the cold air return line between the two ventilator lines (see diagram).

Stirling Technology, Inc. Method 3. This method partially utilizes the existing home HVAC duct system. The fresh ® air in duct from the RecoupAerator gets ducted into the cold air return line of the furnace. A minimum of 3 to 6 foot distance between this line and the furnace is recommended. The ®... - Page 18 Stirling Technology, Inc. ® Horizontal: Use Ceiling Mounting Kit (CM-02) to suspend the RecoupAerator from the ‘D’ rings located on the four corners of the unit (SEE BELOW). The motor side of the unit should be facing the floor. Allow adequate space (12 inches) between the ceiling and the unit to allow for servicing of pulleys and belts.

Page 19: Planning The Ductwork
Stirling Technology, Inc. ® Ducting: Ducting between the RecoupAerator and the outdoors (those collars marked CONNECT TO OUTSIDE) and all ducting in unconditioned spaces must be insulated. Use vapor barriers as needed to prevent condensation. Vapor barriers always go on the warm side of a duct. - Page 20 Stirling Technology, Inc. To insure maximum airflow, use the largest practical duct for the installation. Under no circumstances should the trunk duct size be less than 6 inches, as this will restrict the airflow considerably. Insulated flex ducts tend to reduce blower noise levels but add airflow resistance, while galvanized ducts provide least resistance to air flow and are easiest to install properly.

Page 22: Installing The Inside Ducts
Stirling Technology, Inc. Installing the Inside Ducts Location of supply and exhaust vents inside the house is an important factor in ventilation. Consider the following guidelines for maximum effectiveness: 1. The air exhaust point should be located high in the room, as far as possible from the point of air entry. - Page 23 Stirling Technology, Inc. 5. Use included crimp style wire nuts to connect the other end of the controller wire to the exposed ends on the back of the controller. Make sure to match colors as you did on the unit.
