DIRECT CONNECTION of both the HRV SUPPLY AIR STREAM and
ExHAUST AIR STREAM to the FURNACE COLD AIR RETURN
Simplified Installation
Option 1
(Return/Return Method)
1. Furnace blower must operate when ventilation from HRV is required.
The furnace should be set to run continuously or interlocked with
HRV.
2. A minimum separation of 1m (39") is recommended between the
two direct connections.
3. In order to prevent exhausting any fresh air, the HRV's exhaust air
connection should be upstream of the HRV's supply air connection
when ducting to the furnace's cold air return.
4. Weatherhood arrangement is for illustrative purposes only. 3m (10')
minimum separation and 460 mm (18") above grade is recommended.
5. Due to the differences in pressure between the HRV and the equip-
ment it is being connected to, the HRV's airflow should be balanced
on site, using the procedure found in section "AIRFLOW
BALANCING".
