RenewAire Introduces Fan Control Accessory, Motor Option for ERVs
RenewAire, a manufacturer of HVAC and indoor air quality products, introduced its BACnet Fan Control accessory and an IE5+ ultra-premium efficiency motor option to its HE Series and LE Series product lines of energy recovery ventilators.
The easy-to-operate, plug-and-play BACnet Fan Control’s installation saves up to 50% in labor/material costs versus adding an I/O connection for ERV BMS monitoring/control for commercial building IAQ. RenewAire’s proprietary BACnet Fan Control is a custom-engineered, BACnet MS/TP protocol device designed for facility managers and installation/service contractors that prefer quick, simple on/off and 0 to 100% variable frequency drive fan speed selections. Ideal applications are mall/strip center retail stores, classrooms, healthcare offices and other spaces that need to override idle, interlocked central air handling units when quick outdoor air induction from the ERV is needed for individual space IAQ enhancement.
BACnet Fan Control is constructed of a durable acrylonitrile butadiene styrene plastic case that can be remotely installed via 24V wire anywhere between the ERV and building management system. Control/monitoring can be viewed through the remote’s readout display or through the BMS dashboard. Installation and wiring take only minutes for mechanical or control contractors. The new IE5+ ultra-premium efficiency motor offers more functionality and significantly reduces operational energy costs by 15% versus IE3 motors. The IE5+ motor option is factory-integrated with RenewAire’s proprietary VFD.
