Carrier HRVXXSHA1130 Fresh Air System

Product Description

The CARRIER HRVXXSHA1130 is a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) designed to deliver controlled fresh air to residential and light-commercial HVAC systems. By exhausting stale indoor air while recovering heat energy from the outgoing airstream, the unit maintains indoor air quality without the full energy penalty of direct outdoor air intake. At 42 pounds, the unit is a substantial, self-contained ventilation appliance suited for forced-air system integration. It measures 21 inches long, 16.125 inches wide, and 21.5 inches tall, making it appropriate for mechanical room or utility space installation by a licensed HVAC technician.

The HRVXXSHA1130 is intended for residential forced-air applications where ventilation codes require controlled fresh air exchange. It integrates with central HVAC ductwork to distribute balanced, tempered fresh air throughout the conditioned space. Typical installations occur in new construction or retrofit projects where indoor air quality requirements are addressed through mechanical ventilation rather than operable windows or passive infiltration. ASHRAE 62.2 and local mechanical codes commonly govern the required ventilation rates for these installations.

Key Features

• Heat recovery core transfers thermal energy from exhaust air to incoming fresh air, reducing heating and cooling load
• Self-contained ventilation appliance designed for ductwork integration with existing forced-air systems
• Compact footprint at 21 x 16.125 x 21.5 inches for installation in tight mechanical spaces
• 42-pound construction indicates a robust, commercial-grade enclosure suitable for long-term service
• Designed to support compliance with mechanical ventilation codes including ASHRAE 62.2

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fresh air ventilation unit for integration with residential and light-commercial forced-air HVAC systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician familiar with mechanical ventilation systems and applicable local codes. Power down the HVAC system at the disconnect and the electrical panel before making any electrical connections. Ductwork connections must be sealed to prevent cross-contamination between the fresh air and exhaust airstreams. Condensate drainage provisions should be confirmed prior to startup, as HRV cores produce condensate during heating-season operation.
