INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your recent Aprilaire Fresh Air
Exchanger purchase. We sincerely appreciate your
business and are pleased to add your name to our
growing list of customers. With this purchase, you’ve
invested in the highest quality equipment currently
available. Research Products Corporation is the largest
manufacturer of fresh air exchangers, whole house
high efficiency media air cleaners and whole house
humidifiers, and is a recognized leader in the heating
and air conditioning industry today.
®

Please be assured that in addition to product quality, we are also committed to unit performance as well
as customer satisfaction. Your unit will require periodic
maintenance to assure you of continued fine performance.
There has been more evidence lately to indicate
that the air in our homes is more seriously polluted
than the outdoor air even in the largest and most
industrialized cities. Since research indicates that people spend approximately 90% of their time indoors,
this poses a health risk. In addition, people who may
be exposed to indoor air pollutants for long periods of
time are often those most susceptible to the adverse
affects of indoor air pollution. These groups include the
young, the elderly, the chronically ill, and especially
those suffering from respiratory or cardiovascular diseases. The levels of pollutants from individual sources
may not pose a significant or serious risk to health by
themselves. However, most homes have more than
one source that contributes to indoor air pollution and
an accumulative affect of these sources is cause for
concern.

I. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The Aprilaire Fresh Air Exchanger is designed to
remove indoor air pollution and provide a constant
supply of fresh air to the home. The special
EnergyMax ® transfer core utilizes the indoor conditioned air to pre-heat or pre-cool the incoming fresh
air depending on the season. During the winter
season, the cross-flow design EnergyMax transfer core
allows the incoming fresh air to be preheated by the
warm stale air being exhausted, thereby reducing the
energy required by the heating system to warm the air
to your desired temperature. This same process
removes heat and moisture from the incoming air
stream during the summer. The Aprilaire Fresh Air
Exchanger provides a comfortable and healthy
environment for your entire home year round, with only
minimal maintenance requirements and trouble-free
quiet operation. For optimum benefits, the PerfectAire
unit has been designed for continuous operation.
