fan speed can be adjusted from the factory setting using external
static pressure (ESP) control settings to change fan speeds to
compensate for airflow resistance caused by field installed ductwork.

Cross flow Air-to-air Heat Exchanger

Cross flow air-to-air heat exchanger is constructed of non-
flammable, specially processed paper that allows transfer of heat
and humidity. The air-to-air heat exchanger recovers energy from
indoor air as it is exhausted outdoors. The recovered energy is
transferred to the in-coming outdoor air without mixing airstreams.
A hinged access panel allows removal of air-to-air heat exchanger
for vacuum or brush cleaning. Since both heat and humidity are
transferred, condensate drain is not required.
