HEATING AND COOLING LOAD CHARTS
Although the ventilators process t he outside air b efore it enters t he home, additional heating and cooling loads need to be considered.

The heating load chart shows the heating loads in Btuh for a range
of winter design temperatures for each model of ventilator.
EXAMPLE: The heating design temperature for Little Rock, AR is
20_F. The additional heating load of the ERVBBLHA1200 at
20_F is 559 Btuh. This additional load should be taken into
consideration when sizing the heating equipment.

The cooling load chart shows loads in Btuh as well. To use the
cooling load chart, first find the design enthalpy from a
psychrometric chart using the design dry bulb and wet bulb
temperatures. (See pg. 7.) The cooling load can then be found for a
range of enthalpies for each ventilator.
EXAMPLE: The design dry bulb temperature for Miami is 90_F
and the average wet bulb at that temperature is 77_F. Using the
psychrometric chart, the enthalpy is about 40.5 Btu per pound
(Btu/lb) of dry air, which would round up to 41 Btu/lb dry air. In
the left column, at 41 Btu/lb dry air, the ERVBBLHA1200 has an
additional cooling load of 5042 Btuh, while th e HRV150CFM unit
has an additional cooling load of 8437 Btuh.
