HRV
HEAT RECOVERY VENTILATOR
Having a bad air
day?
Heat recovery ventilator puts fresh air back where it belongs...in
your home.
At Lennox, we realize that proper ventilation is like a breath of
fresh air. That's why we offer products that can make bad air days a
thing of the past.
One way to combat poor indoor air quality (IAQ) is to ventilate
your home with fresh outside air. But with the concern for energy
efficiency, we have all but eliminated fresh air from our homes.
The
average home should have at least .35 ACH (Air Changes Per Hour). An
ACH of 1.0 means that air in the home is changed once per hour. Newer,
high-efficiency homes generally have an ACH rating of less than .35,
and many are as low as .05. That can lead to extremely poor indoor air
quality. The Lennox heat recovery ventilator (HRV) provides a simple
and economical way to freshen the air.
Thanks to some clever engineering, the Lennox HRV is able to
conserve energy from indoor conditioned air and transfer it to the
outdoor air as it's brought into your home.
The heart of the Lennox HRV is a heat exchange core. Inside the
core, indoor air passes through a chamber in one direction, while
fresh outside air passes through the other chamber to the indoors.
The
two air streams never mix, but as they pass each other through these
side-by-side chambers, heat is transferred from one airflow to the
other through the highly conductive aluminum walls of the core. This
way, the air exhausted from your home is used efficiently to heat or
cool incoming fresh air. Whatever the size of your home, there's a
Lennox HRV unit which can supply fresh air to every corner, with
capacity to spare!
For over 100 years, Lennox has been keeping you comfortable in all
kinds of weather. And in that time, you've come to rely on Lennox
products to deliver quality comfort year after year. We are committed
to providing you with the finest in home comfort and indoor air
quality products. Just one more reason Lennox gives you...One Less
Thing To Worry About™.
