Greenheck Debuts New Energy Recovery Ventilator

Greenheck recently released a new energy recovery ventilator, the ERVi, designed for small indoor spaces like basements and mechanical rooms, according to a news release. The hardware can fit through a 30-inch door and be mounted on the ceiling for retrofit and decarbonization projects. The unit provides both right-hand and left-hand access, as well as the ability to discharge at either end.

The unit comes in two models. “The ERVi-10 discharges 375–1,500 cfm with a maximum height of 18 inches, while the ERVi-20 discharges 750–2,500 cfm with a maximum height of 23 inches,” the news release reports.

Among the ERVi’s optional features are factory-installed, low-leakage dampers; MERV-13 filters, frost and economizer controls, and downstream heating and cooling controls. Every unit contains a 3-inch polymer enthalpy wheel, electric motor, factory controls with a DDC microprocessor, and a direct drive fan.

More information is available on the Greenheck website.
