Start With the Test Standard First confirm which standard the report uses — AHRI 1060 or EN 308. The method defines the conditions, so a number from one standard is not directly comparable to a number from another. Sensible vs Total Effectiveness Read both sensible (temperature) and total (enthalpy) effectiveness. A plate exchanger only reports […]
AHRI 1060: Rating Air-to-Air Energy Recovery Ventilation Equipment
What AHRI 1060 Covers AHRI 1060 is the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute standard that rates air-to-air energy recovery ventilation (ERV) and heat recovery ventilation (HRV) equipment. It defines how manufacturers must test and report the performance that buyers actually compare: sensible effectiveness, total (enthalpy) effectiveness, rated airflow, external static pressure, and supply- and exhaust-side […]
