Effects of Poor Indoor Air Quality
The American Heart Association has linked poor air quality to heart problems while the American Lung Association lists it as a leading
cause of lung cancer. Asthma is the leading chronic disease in children.
Each day, 10 Americans die from asthma. And 3,630 die each year.
Most people recognize the health concerns that outdoor air pollution poses, but few consider that exposure to poor indoor air quality has the same ill health effects such as:
According to the Centers for Disease Control,
1 in 13 people have asthma.
In the US, 24 million people have asthma- same as the entire population of Texas.
6.3 million people with asthma are under the age of 18.
Asthma is also the top reason for missed school days.

What is a fresh air appliance?
VHR/SHR Series Heat Recovery VentilatorHigh performance heat recovery ventilators with side connection and an aluminum heat exchanger core that transfers sensible energy between supply and exhaust air streams.
VER/SER Series Energy Recovery VentilatorExtremely efficient energy recovery ventilators with side connection and an energy exchanger core that transfers the heat and moisture from the supply air to the exhaust air.
Heat Recovery CoreThe aluminum fixed-plate, cross flow heat recovery exchanger is capable of transferring heat between airstream. The heat recovery cores are manufactured in our facility to assure the highest level of quality.
Energy Recovery CoreThe washable polymer membrane uses selective transfer technology to allow heat and water vapor to permeate through, while blocking contaminant compounds. The transfer is driven by temperature and humidity differentials between the airstreams.
When should you use and HRV?Fresh air appliances with Heat Recovery (HRVs) are recommended for colder climates where the indoor relative humidity will be lower during the longer heating season. An appliance with a Heat Recovery core will dry the indoor humid air in homes with spasm saunas and hot tubs.
When should you use and ERV?Fresh air appliances with Energy Recovery (ERV) are great in warm and humid climates since they may reduce the amount of outdoor humidity that enters the building through the ventilation air if the building is air conditioned and maintained at a normal indoor relative humidity and temperature.
What do I need?HRV or ERV?If you are using our equipment to ventilate a building where there is an indoor pool, an HRV should be used due to the high indoor relative humidity. We recommend using models with a Recirculation defrost function (-R) that have a more aggressive and energy efficient frost prevention system needed for indoor pool applications in cold climates (see defrost system explanation on the previous page).
Browse the climate conditions where you live to determine what type of ventilator you need.
HRVs are recommended when the indoor relative humidity will be higher due to the presence of showers, spas, saunas and hot tubs. High occupancy density often results in higher indoor humidity, so HRV are also better in those applications.
ERVs are great in warm and humid climates since they may reduce the amount of outdoor humidity that enters the building through the ventilation air if the building is air conditioned and maintained at a normal indoor relative humidity and temperature. In cold climates, an ERV will not dry the indoor air as much as an HRV since a portion of the exhausted air’s humidity is recovered back into the fresh air supply.

What are the defrost cycles?
Fantech offers 2 different defrost mechanism in order to prevent frost inside of the unit.
Supply fan shutdown defrost
Advantages• This is a simple and robust frost prevention system
Application noteIf you will be integrating the HRV into a central air handling unit we recommend selecting the Recirculation Defrost models (i.e. SHR -R) since they can actively block the outdoor air port with a damper mechanism, preventing outdoor air from entering the building when not being used.
Recirculation defrost
Advantages• The most energy efficient frost prevention• Ideal for higher humidity indoor conditions or colder
outdoor conditions• For models with a 5th duct connection, allows the
designer to select from where recirculated air is taken• Ideal to avoid stagnant air that may contribute to indoor condensation during the winter
Fresh Air Apliances Features
Quick ConnectRemovable quick connect terminals provide easy & convenient electrical connection.
Recovery CoreProvides superior heat/energy transfer capability in a smaller package.
Easy MaintenanceAll serviceable internal components, including core, filters, fans and electron-ic board are easily accessible and can be fully removed in under 5 minutes for complete service.
Accurate MeasuringPatented integrated airflow measurement system allows for rapid and accurate reading of airflow and eliminates the need for an external flow meter.

Clean Return AirWhole house HEPA
Fantech provides an added solution for better indoor air quality withthe Whole House HEPA filtration unit. This small, compact unit installs on the existing ductwork of your furnace/air handler or can be used asan independent system mounted in the attic, crawl space or closet.
It is designed to clean and filter the total volume of air in an average 2,200 sq. ft. home once an hour. Larger homes will take slightly longer for complete air change. Mold spores, pet dander, cooking odors, dusts, dust mites and their by-products are all captured in a series of three filters. The prefilter collects the largest particles while the carbon filter absorbs odors. The third filter is a true, certified HEPA filter which collects particles down to 0.3 microns.
Three models to choose fromCM3000Collar mount model comes with for collars, two pieces of UL Listed 8” flex duct and hanging chains.
CM3000 IInsulated unit on hanging chains is used in unconditioned spaces such as attics and garages. Insulated outer shell prevents condensation problems.
DM3000PDuct mount model features integrated airflow sensor switch which energizes the unit any time furnace/air handler operates. Designed with a backplate that allows direct connection of the unit to air handler or furnace.
