OVERVIEW TRCeN-Series 1.0 OVERVIEW 1.1 DESCRIPTION The TRCeN-Series Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) is a device for recovering both sensible energy (heat) and latent energy (moisture) from the Exhaust Air from an Occupied Space and injecting those energies into an incoming Outside Air stream. It accomplishes this task by forcing the two airstreams through enthalpic cores, where the energy exchange takes place.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS TRCeN-Series 2.0 COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS 2.1 CABINET The cabinet for the TRCeN-Series is made of 20 gauge galvanized steel and has 1" thick high- density, foil-backed insulation on the inside. Units are available in either single-wall or double- wall construction. Doors are hinged and are fitted with stainless steel machine screws through the faces to prevent accidental opening of the doors when the unit is in operation.
TRCeN-Series 2.5 FILTERS All TRCeN500/V units come equipped with two MERV 8 14" x 20" x 2" (nominal) pleated filters. All TRCeN800/V units come equipped with two MERV 8 20" x 20" x 2" (nominal) pleated filters. MERV 13 filters can be ordered as an accessory and are shipped loose.

UNIT PLACEMENT TRCeN-Series 3.4 STORAGE Units that must be stored prior to installation should be left on their pallets and protected from weather and physical damage. Units must be placed on a level surface to prevent wracking of the pallet and the TRCeN. All access doors must be secured with all available hardware (door latches and securing bolts) and all openings into the cabinet must be sealed to prevent entry of dust, dirt and debris.

INSTALLATION TRCeN-Series 4.3 SOUND ATTENUATION Take these simple steps to attenuate noise from the unit. 4.3.1 Ducts Make sure the ductwork at the unit outlets is stiff enough to resist the flexure and resulting booming associated with system start up and shut off, as well as the turbulent flow conditions at the impeller outlets.
INSTALLATION TRCeN-Series 5.2 FLOOR INSTALLATION Most units are installed in a location specified by others. In general, it’s preferable to install the NOTE: To prevent unit on a flat, reasonably level surface, such as a concrete floor. The factory-installed leveling the entry of rain legs are to be used to level the unit before connecting ductwork.
INSTALLATION TRCeN-Series 5.3.3 Hanging Bracket Kit The TRCeN-Series ERV can also be mounted to structural members using the Hanging Bracket Kit, available as an accessory. Remove the four adjustable legs and use the included 3/8"-16 bolts and washers to attach the hanging brackets to the unit as shown in Figure 5.3.1. The hanging brackets may be attached directly to a structural member or used in combination with threaded rod and the hanging vibration isolators described in section 5.3.2.
INSTALLATION TRCeN-Series 5.4.1 Factory-Recommended Electric Service Entry NOTE: Your unit is The TRCeN-Series has an internal E-box in the lower left corner of the unit. 7/8" knockouts equipped with EC are provided on the sides and bottom of the unit for high-voltage power and low-voltage Motors (ECM).

OPERATION TRCeN-Series 6.0 OPERATION 6.1 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The TRCeN-Series ERV has one basic purpose: to exhaust air from a structure and bring in SA from outside, while transferring heating or cooling energy from the EA to the SA. The TRCeN-Series ERV is a very simple device, and will accomplish this purpose as long as the impeller is able to move air through the enthalpic core.
OPERATION TRCeN-Series IMPORTANT It is important to balance the airflows after the unit is operational and all ductwork has been installed. Balancing the airflows is typically required by state and/or local codes, and is often specified by the HVAC design engineer. NOTE: ERV airflows Optimum efficiency of the enthalpic cores is achieved when the airstreams are properly balanced.

MAINTENANCE TRCeN-Series 6.6 OPERATION IN EXTREME COLD WEATHER TRCeN-Series units are capable of operating without internal frosting at temperatures down to -10°F, with indoor humidity below 40%. The units can operate under more severe conditions occasionally with little or no impact on their performance. At lower humidities, they can operate at still lower outside temperatures without freezing the enthalpic cores.
MAINTENANCE TRCeN-Series 7.6 ENTHALPIC CORE CAUTION RISK OF DAMAGE TO ENTHALPIC CORES Whenever working within the ERV cabinet, protect the enthalpic cores from accidental damage. The core media is subject to damage from dropped tools or other foreign objects. 7.6.1 Enthalpic Core Maintenance The enthalpic core media is a fibrous material that must be kept clean at all times.
