Lifebreath RNC Series HRV Heat Recovery Ventilators

The Lifebreath® HRV allows two streams of air to pass on either side of an aluminum heat exchange core. In the winter, the core transfers heat from stale outgoing air to fresh incoming air with virtually no loss of heat to the outside. During the summer, the HRV works in reverse to keep your home cool and fresh.

RNC Series HRVs offer the same technology and warranty as MAX, but do not include controls to allow customers to select the wall control of their choice. All RNC products are backed by the same warranty as MAX series, including lifetime coverage on the patented aluminum core. The RNC series is geared towards the new construction market.

#1 Q:   I am considering a RNC205 over a RNC200 since it has the hex core and is more efficient. But, it has 6 oval collars so what type of pipe fits it? Is there an adapter you need to convert back to round pipe?
A:   These are typically paired with insulated flex duct which can be manually ovalized to match the shape of the collars. Feel free to call us with any additional questions.

#2 Q:   HI Im wondering if a HRV can be installed at an angle or sideways from the picture being shown? Particularly wondering about the Lifebreath 95 max. Also what is the difference between recirculating defrost and damper defrost.
A:   Per installation manual: Unit must be installed level to ensure proper condensate drainage. Recirculating defrost means the damper shuts the outdoor discharge port on the unit and it cycles household air through the unit...Damper defrost means that when the damper closes the port, it opens a 5th port that generally goes to the house and gets the tempered air from there to keep the core in specified temperature range.

#3 Q:   Service word is on. What do I do?
A:   Clean or change the filters and/or contact a local service company for diagnostics.
