Q-TEC Commercial Room Ventilator Model Nomenclature
Description
Commercial room ventilator QCRV-F is designed to be used with specific Bard models as designated on the front page of this manual.
The QCRV-F ventilator is an electromechanical vent system designed to provide fresh air to meet indoor air quality standards.
Commercial room ventilator QCRV-F is an internally mounted damper with exhaust designed to provide up to 50% fresh air. The damper blade is powered by a 24 VAC motor with spring return on power loss. The damper is powered open anytime A is energized. Blade stop screws are located under the fresh air blade and will provide 10 different airflow settings.
When installed in the models listed on the front page, the QCRV-F provides built-in exhaust provisions. When the damper blade opens to bring fresh air in, the damper also opens an exhaust relief. The exhaust air will flow into the condenser section of the unit. The condenser fan will help draw exhaust air out when it is operating with compressor in cooling or heat pump mode.
Application
The amount of outside fresh air brought into the structure is dependent on the supply and return duct static pressure present in the duct system. Refer to Graphs 1-5 on pages 9-11 for ventilation air that will be supplied at different blade settings and duct static pressures. For duct-free applications with return air filter grilles and supply grilles, use 0.00 supply air static pressure.

Blade Adjustment for Desired Ventilation Air
The amount of ventilation air supplied by the commercial room ventilator is dependant on four factors.
- Return air duct static pressure drop.
- Supply air duct static pressure drop.
- Indoor blower motor speed.
- Damper blade open position setting.
Refer to the appropriate graph on the following pages to determine the blade setting needed for required airflow. Adjust blade stop screws accordingly (see Figure 5).
NOTE : Blade setting shipped from factory in #3 position.
This will provide 100-150 CFM fresh air.
Balanced ClimateTM Mode
Balanced Climate mode can be used for duct free and ducted applications below 0.2″ W.C. ESP total static.
If Balanced Climate mode is enabled, blade stop screw positions will need to
be adjusted to allow approximately 28% more outdoor air to maintain
minimum ventilation requirements.
