1.0 General Description/Physical Specifications

The HRV1 is a ventilation system designed to provide an improved indoor air quality in dwellings. As a whole house system, the unit continuously extracts air from the non-habitable rooms and supplies fresh, filtered air to habitable rooms. Heat that is recovered from the air drawn from the bathrooms and kitchen is passed through a heat exchanger and the energy that is recovered is transferred, to temper the replacement air in habitable rooms to provide a comfortable indoor environment.

Ancillary Items Required

• 125mm Ducting (100mm or rectangular ducting can be used, where appropriate)
• GS2 Switch providing switching between normal and boost

2.0 Installation Instructions

2.1 General Preparation

The HRV1 unit is supplied with 4 x 125mm spigots and template for positioning on ducts to unit for installation.

2.1.1 125mm OR 100mm ducting with connectors can be used (see ancillary section pg 1) to provide performance levels required for compliance with Building Regulations. Please contact Greenwood Airvac Technical Services with any questions.

2.1.2 Installation of the HRV1 should be in accordance with the current editions of Building Regulations and BS7671: IEE Wiring Regulations.

2.1.3 The design, material specification and installation must only be carried out by ‘competent persons’.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Gases from fuel-burning equipment must not be drawn into any living areas. If any room, where air is extracted, contains a fuel burning appliance such as a central heating boiler, then either of the following should be undertaken:
– the flue must be of the room sealed or balanced flue type or;
– allowance must be made for an adequate supply of air into the room

2.2 Positioning

2.2.1 The unit must be installed vertically and wall mounted to enable effective condensate drainage in either a service cupboard or secured to a vertical structure in the loft space. Duct spigots must be upright at top of unit.

2.2.2 It is not advisable to install the unit directly above a bedroom or living room ceiling, or in an area that is part of a living area or bedroom.

2.2.3 Consideration must be given to access for servicing, maintenance and any fault diagnostics. Maintenance on the Heat Exchange and Filters are required at 24 and 6 month intervals respectively.

2.2.4 The unit can be configured for right and left hand installation configuration (see fig. below).

2. Fresh in
3. Stale in
4. Fresh out

Fig 1.

The HRV1 is factory set for right hand installation

The handing of the unit can be changed through the LCD display and does not require any internal changes.
If alternative configuration is required, follow instructions in commissioning section (para 2.8.2) after installation.

2.3 Condensate

It is important that any condensate MUST be drained away. The unit is provided with separate drain and blanking plugs (installed depending on right/left hand configuration). The drain plug allows a condensate drain hose (22mm diameter) to be push connected and mechanically secured (See Fig. 1 & 2).

2.3.1 The drain must have a continuous minimum fall of 6mm per 1m run and can either be chased into the wall or run downwards from the unit into the nearest waste water network.

2.3.2 In some instances, a condensate connecting point will already be provided as part of the building design. The position of this point, relative to where the HRV1 unit is to be installed should be checked for any connection misalignment and any necessary adjustment made before proceeding any further.

2.4 Mounting ­- Vertical Installation

A template is provided to aid positioning of ducts to unit.

2.4.1 The unit is supplied with two fixing brackets. Fix one to the wall and the other to the unit and mount the unit.

2.4.2 Two levelling screws are provided to ensure vertical installation.

2.4.3 Connect the drainage hose to the condensate drain connection and ensure that steps are taken to minimise the risk of mechanical damage to the drainage pipework. Run the pipe internally as far as possible and insulate to protect against freezing. Condensate drain should terminate to the waste water network or externally.

2.5 Duct and Duct Connections

Please refer to design drawings

2.5.1 Four 125mm nominal diameter spigots are provided for connection to ducting. These must be securely connected to supply and exhaust ducts according to right and left hand configurations (see commissioning section to change configuration).

2.5.2 Flexible or rigid ducting must be used and must fit over the spigots. Flexible ducts must be kept to a minimum.

2.5.3 Where ducts are exposed in unheated areas, such as roof spaces, they must be insulated with at least 25mm of insulation.

2.5.4 If applicable, Fire Dampers MUST BE FITTED in accordance with Part B of the Building Regulations.

2.5.5 Rigid Ducting
Install using the least number of fittings to minimise resistance to air flow. Where possible, final connection to grilles and unit should be made with a flexible connection.

2.5.6 Flexible Ducting
Ensure ducting lengths are kept to minimum and ducting is pulled taut so that it is smooth and straight. Where bends are necessary and where ducting is run in restricted areas, ensure the ducting is not crushed.

2.5.7 The inlet fresh air supply should be directly from the outside. If supplied through a wall, an external grille should be supplied. If supplied through a roof, a recognised roof terminal should be supplied.

2.5.8 The exhaust air must exit to the outside through a wall or roof and must be protected by a wall grille or recognised roof terminal.

2.5.9 Inlet and exhaust pipes should be installed at least 2m apart to avoid the cross contamination of airflows.
