1. Pengenalan
The Fantech HERO150H is a Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) designed to provide continuous fresh air to your home while recovering heat from outgoing stale air. This appliance is crucial for maintaining indoor air quality in well-sealed modern homes by removing excess moisture, odors, and contaminants. It works by continuously supplying up to 160 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) of fresh, filtered air and simultaneously removing an equal amount of moist, stale air.
The HERO150H features an energy-efficient counterflow core that recovers up to 80% of the heat from the exhaust air, transferring it to the incoming fresh air. During warmer months, this process helps to cool the incoming air, reducing the load on your air conditioning system. This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient installation, operation, and maintenance of your Fantech HERO150H unit.
