Expanding their existing Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERV, RVE, ERCH, MiniVent) , Greenheck’s newest models (MiniCore & ECV) precondition fresh outdoor air to reduce the heating and cooling loads required by mechanical equipment. These models utilize an enthalpy core constructed of a specially-processed hydroscopic resin material (corrugated – much like cardboard) that allows heat transfer between outdoor and return air without direct contact. See the figure below:
Because this technology requires less space and fewer moving parts than the traditional enthalpy wheel, there are now more applications where energy conservation is an economical opportunity with the following models:
