The Valent VIVE energy recovery ventilator (ERV) delivers electric preheat and post-heat and total energy recovery at up to 85% effectiveness, with convenient modular construction made for indoor installation in tight spaces.
For applications where it isn’t practical or cost-effective to put an ERV on the roof, the VIVE excels at fitting into narrow areas like a mechanical room, basement, or attic.
· The VIVE fits through a 30-inch doorway and can be ceiling-hung.
· The unit's modular design ships in pieces to be assembled at the jobsite.
· The VIVE has a low-profile height of either 18 or 23 inches. It can be flexibly configured for end or side discharge and left- or right-side access.
The low-profile design of the VIVE indoor ventilator is engineered without compromising the ventilation quality, energy efficiency, or heating that modern buildings need.
· The VIVE delivers 100% outdoor air at 500–2,400 cfm with energy-efficient direct drive plenum fans.
· It provides electric preheat and post-heat up to 25 kW and features an enthalpy wheel that recovers up to 85% of latent and sensible energy.
· The VIVE is sturdily constructed, with Valent’s signature pre-painted exterior and injected foam insulation.
In these applications, 100% outdoor air with energy recovery that can be installed indoors is a great option.
· Roof constraints where the roof is pitched or sloped.
· High-rise buildings with many floors that require ventilation. The VIVE can be added to ceiling spaces and mechanical rooms on different floors.
· Retrofits where the HVAC system may not have been designed for energy recovery, but code around indoor air quality (IAQ) now requires it. Flexible indoor installation options make the most of limited ductwork space.
· Hospitals and schools can use the VIVE to meet ventilation requirements when access or roof space is at a premium.
