    CLEANING SYSTEM IMPORTANT INFORMATIONS : Suggested PSI: 12 GPM @ 25 PSI PSI max: 35 Do not use tools to tighten hose connectors. It is recommended to install a manual valve before the system. Make sure installations comply with local standards in your area. Contact a licensed plumber to make sure your installation is safe and compliant. Consult him for advice on expansion joints and to learn more about the suitability of installing a water meter for your installation. Connect and glue the pipes to the system to the water in your building and to the exchanger. Apply 2 turns of teflon tape on every nozzle and screw them by hand. Do not overtighten.

  • Page 17 The monitor allows the manufacturer to upload a new software version to the air exchanger. Install the monitor in your control room. Do not install the monitor near high-voltage sources. Plug in the power and connect the Ethernet cable to your Internet modem. The blue light will come on at the front, and a yellow and green light will come on at the back of the machine, indicating normal operation. The monitor is "plug and play" and no configuration is required. Figure 16 : ESA-Series Monitor...

    START-UP AND PROGRAMMING START UP Once the electrical connections and the monitor are plugged in, you'll need to activate the exchangers, address them and complete their start-up. Before proceeding, make sure that the cardboard over the cores has been removed from your exchangers. Start the air exchangers and call us at 1-855-573-2877 to proceed with exchanger activation and addressing. PROGRAMMING Then schedule a meeting with your local representative to adjust your ventilation stages and plan your automatic cleaning cycles, the duration and frequency of which are adjustable. *NOTE* If your exchangers are controlled by a 0-10 volt connection, take note of the document explaining how it works on the next page.
  • Page 19 ESA-3000 0-10V CONTROL The purpose of this guide is to explain how the ESA-3000 reacts to the voltage applied to it. The ESA-3000 operates in heat recovery ventilation mode (HRV) or in forced ventilation mode. It is also important to know that the ESA-3000 operates with a choice of two 0-10v control modes: 0-10v B mode (HRV only) or 0-10v C mode (HRV and forced ventilation) Here is how the two modes work: 1. 0-10v B mode (HRV only) When the ESA-3000 is in this mode, it varies speed between 0% and 100% according to a control signal from 0 to 10v as shown in the following graph: 2.

  • Page 20: Preventive Care And Maintenance

    THE HEAT EXCHANGER Feel free to clean and or disinfect your heat exchanger as often as desired but not less than once a year is recommended. You can spray down the heat exchanger using a garden hose or a pressure wash system not exceeding 1200psi and at minimum distance of 12 inches. Be sure to shut off the power to the unit before doing so. You can use mild soaps and cleaners as necessary. PRO TIP : Before using a garden hose or pressure washer, use a blower to remove dry material from the heat exchangers. THE CORES Although the Heat Exchangers have a built in Auto Wash system with a schedule set by the user, it is recommended to do a deep manual clean at least once a year or as frequent as desired. This will assure you to get the best possible performance and efficiency from your ESA-SERIES Heat Exchangers. Depending on your application, the type of litter, the type of feed, it may change the required frequency and duration of Auto Washes and Manual Cleanings. We recommend inspecting the cores after each cycle to be sure you are satisfied with the cleaning results. You can adjust the duration and frequency of cleaning so that it takes place as often as required.
  • Page 21 Figure 17 : Care and maintenance of the cores To clean the cores, first lift the locking lever holding the cores in place. Using the handles, remove the 3 heat exchange cores from the heat exchanger. Then, use a pressure wash system to wash the cores. As they are delicate in nature to obtain high efficiency, be careful not to damage them. Please follow the instructions in the box on the previous page to pronlong their life. You may also clean both air streams. Note that the fresh air stream will have less dirt built up and you should focus on making sure the exhaust air stream is cleaned properly. When you’ve finished cleaning, replace the three cores in the heat exchanger and lower the locking lever to lock them in place.

    ANNEX WINTER COVERS (optional) a. Build a frame around the heat exchanger using 2"x6" wood (not provided). The frame should have a RSO of 58 inches by 91 inches. You may use #8x3in deck screws (not provided) to fix your frame to the wall. Use the eighteen (18) #14x3in (provided) screws to secure the heat exchanger in place, by screwing through your frame into the border of the heat exchanger. Do not over torque as this will shear the threads in the plastic and may lead to equipment failure. Notch the top to allow for electrical and water piping. You may substitute the #14x3in screws with #8x3in screws, however you will require more than eighteen (18), see table below for exact quantities per side of the heat exchanger (not provided).
