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 con-

ditioned 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.

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 qual-

ity, we are also committed to unit performance as well

as customer satisfaction. Your unit will require periodic

maintenance to assure you of continued fine perfor-

mance.

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 peo-

ple 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 dis-

eases. 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.

Now, please take a few minutes and read this

booklet. This will familiarize you with the benefits you

will receive from the equipment you just purchased

and help you understand the routine maintenance that

will be required. Be sure to register your warranty with

us for our records and your protection.
