Fresh Air Ventilator

INTRODUCTION AND COMPLIANCE
The Aprilaire® Model V42SNA Fresh Air Ventilator is designed to
bring in precisely the right amount of outdoor air into today's
efficiently designed homes. Duct the inlet of the ventilator to an
outdoor air intake and duct the discharge to the HVAC system
and then simply plug the unit in, set the amount of needed
ventilation and select the desired temperature limits.
High/low temperature limits are set on the control to prevent
bringing in outdoor air during the hottest or coldest period of
the day The built in control will automatically compensate for
the ventilation time that is missed by bringing in additional
outdoor air Compliance with the requirements of ASHRAE 622
is met as the control adds ventilation time as needed to
account for the fractional on-time and effectiveness of the
ventilation schedule. The control will also ensure that ventilation
occurs no less than one hour of every four. When properly
installed and set, the Model V42SNA Fresh Air Ventilator will
meet the mechanical ventilation requirements of:
• Energy Star Certified Homes, Version 3
• 2012 International Residential Code (IRC)
• 2012 International Energy Conservation
Code (IECC)
