CFM Continental Fan ECO-FLOPlus Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV).
Product Overview:
ECO-FLOPlus Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) is the all-in-one ventilation solution for new construction and renovation projects. This compact ventilator is capable of exhausting stale indoor air and supplying fresh filtered outdoor air. The reversible axial fan features an EC motor, characterized by low power consumption and quiet operation. The ceramic energy regenerator provides a regeneration efficiency of up to 97%. The heat recovered from the exhaust air will pre-heat or pre-cool the incoming supply air (depending on the season). ECO-FLOPlus ERV has the added benefit of indoor humidity control, making it ideal for use in both living and working environments.

Commercial buildings
A single ECO-FLOPlus Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) in ventilation mode can ventilate a room up to 500 square feet, in accordance with ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.2. The fan speed and humidity settings allow for personalized control of each individual room.
Multiple ventilators can operate independently of each other or can work synchronously. The ECO-FLOPlus ERV allows users to install multiple units without hardwiring them together. Instead, an IoT networking operation synchronizes units through a wireless pairing process and Wi-Fi connection. Using the app, the ventilator can be programmed to operate in unison (the same mode) or in complementary (supply and extract) mode. It is recommended that paired units be used to ensure balanced ventilation.
When arranging a ventilation network, install one unit in each room. For larger rooms, install two or more ventilators. The air flows from one room to another through doors, openings, or hallways, ensuring constant circulation. There is no limit to the number of ventilators in a group. A network of ventilators provides an easy, cost-effective solution for larger buildings undergoing construction or renovation.
In the app, the user can create scene(s) according to weather, schedule or device status. For example, when the outdoor relative humidity is higher than 85%, the ventilator can be set to stop or run in exhaust mode. This helps prevent the outdoor humidity from coming inside. The unit will run automatically according to the setting.

Ventilation Unit:
ECO-FLOPlus features a specially designed indoor ventilation unit that magnetically connects to the mounting plate, ensuring an air tight fit.
The plain, white ventilation cover provides a sleek design suitable for any interior. The built-in automatic shutter prevents backdrafts.
Air Filters:
A pre-filter and MERV 11 (F7) air filter are fitted as standard to provide supply and exhaust air filtration. These filters prevent the ingress of dust and insects into the supply air.
Air filters are easily maintained by washing with water (pre-filter only) or vacuuming. Filters are pretreated to prevent bacterial growth.
Ceramic Energy Regenerator:
The high-tech ceramic energy regenerator inside the ECO-FLOPlus ERV provides a regeneration efficiency of up to 97%. The recovered heat from the exhaust air will heat or cool the supply airflow. Due to its cellular structure, the unique regenerator has a large air contact surface and high heat conducting and accumulating properties.
The ceramic energy regenerator is pretreated to prevent bacterial growth.
Reversible EC Motor:
The reversible axial fan features an energy efficient EC motor. The fan is characterized by low power consumption and quiet operation. The motor has built-in thermal protection and ball bearings for long life.
Temperature Sensor:
A temperature sensor is a standard feature in the ECO-FLOPlus ERV. When the outdoor temperature is comfortable, the ventilator will work in supply mode to introduce fresh air without heat recovery. It is called free cooling. When the unit detects the outdoor temperature is within ±1°C of the set temperature, it will automatically switch to supply mode to supply more fresh air.
Exterior Rainproof Hood:
A white plastic rainproof hood comes standard with the unit. It includes a silica gel seal for a tight fit.
Optional exterior grilles and hoods are available in a variety of plastic and metal designs.
Operating Modes of an Energy Recovery Ventilator:
The ECO-FLOPlus ventilator is designed for continuous operation. It can operate both in reversible mode with energy regeneration and in supply or exhaust mode without energy regeneration.
Ventilation Mode
• The ventilator runs in exhaust or supply mode at a set speed.
Heat Recovery Mode
• The ventilator runs in two cycles of 75 seconds each, providing heat and moisture regeneration.
Cycle I
Warm stale air is extracted from the room. It heats and moisturizes the ERV core, transferring up to 90% of the thermal energy. In 70 seconds, the ventilator switches to supply mode.
Cycle II
Fresh outside air flows through the ventilator, absorbing the accumulated moisture and thermal energy in the ERV core and supplying warmed air into the room. In 70 seconds, the ventilator switches back to extraction mode.
When two synchronized ventilators are operating in regeneration mode, one ventilator supplies air while the other ventilator exhausts air. In any other mode, the synchronized ventilators will operate in the same direction.
IoT Network Operation
The ECO-FLOPlus ERV allows users to install multiple units without hardwiring them together. Instead, an IoT networking operation synchronizes units through a wireless pairing process. This reduces material and labor costs and saves time on an installation.
