confirmed by measuring the airflow's of the Heat Recovery
Ventilator (HRV) or Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) by
using the balancing procedure found in this manual.
It is always important to assess how the operation of any
HRV/ERV may interact with vented combustion equipment
(ie. Gas Furnaces, Oil Furnaces, Wood Stoves, etc.).
NEVER install a ventilator in a situation where its normal

  • Page 3: Erv Questions & Answers

    ERV Questions & Answers What is the difference between an HRV and an ERV? The core in an HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) transfers heat from one air stream to the other. This is called sensible heat. The term ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) is usually used to describe a unit with an enthalpic core that transfers moisture as well as heat from one air stream to the other.
