1. Operating Principles

Typical Installation

In a typical installation, the Dri-X Airchanger is connected to the

outdoor air with 5-inch insulated ducting. For a secure system,

an insert board is cut to fit the window. Additional duct rings are

supplied to attach to the insert.

Use only enough ducting to reach conveniently

from the Dri-X to a window or other source of

outdoor air. Excess ducting will reduce the amount

of airflow passing through.

Pass the end of the ducting through the win-

dow, and seal off the rest of the opening so that air

can not leak in or out.

It may help to separate the vents to the outdoors

as much as possible, preventing expelled air from

being sucked back into the in-coming air. This ef-

fect will be minimized by the fact that the air-

stream being expelled is moving at a high rate of

speed away from the outlet. Also, any breeze that

is present will help disperse it.

To best protect building security, construct a

window insert from plywood or stiff building

board. Cut the panel to fit, and close the window

securely on it. Secure the window with a board or

dowel, or in the case of an aluminum-frame win-

dow, with a clamp from a hardware store. In the

insert, cut two 5-inch holes with a saber-saw. Over

these holes, bolt the two extra duct rings provided

with the Dri-X. Secure the ends of the ducting to

the duct rings with the hose clamps provided.

Do not under any circumstances remove the round

grounding plug from the cord. To do so will in-

crease the risk of personal injury, shock or fire.

Place Pump Hose in a Drain

The 40-foot pump hose is normally wrapped

around the main handle when not in use. During

operation, place the end of the hose in any con-

venient drain such as a sink or toilet.

The purpose of the pump is to remove any wa-

ter that condenses in the Energy Exchange Core.

While most of the water vapor in the indoor air is

carried to the outdoors in the airstream, some may

condense. It runs out of the Core into the drip-tray

and is pumped away.

Condensation is greater when the outdoor air is

colder, because the temperature of the out-going

airstream may be lowered below its dew-point,

causing the water vapor to condense out.

Run Unit Dry After Use

IMPORTANT! After completing operation,

some water may remain in the Core. Remove the

duct bringing in fresh air from the outdoors, then

let the unit run for 10 minutes to pump away

any remaining condensation. This will prevent

leakage when the unit is moved.

Connect to Power

Plug the 20-foot cord into a standard 115-volt

circuit. The unit draws less than six amps of

power. When inserting or removing the plug, take

precautions against electrical shock whenever

floors or materials are wet.

If using an extension cord, use only a cord rated

to deliver the appropriate voltage to the Dri-X. An

extension cord up to 25 feet in length should have

a wire gauge of a least 16 AWG. The rating of a

50-foot extension cord should be at least 14 AWG.

Blowers and CFM

The two airstreams in the Dri-X are driven by a

pair of centrifugal blowers. The incoming air-

stream is measured at 325 CFM (cubic feet per

minute) without ducting connected. With a normal

ducting setup, the airflow is about 280 CFM. The
