Date: November 2012Dedicated Exhaust Energy Recovery Unit Supercedes: ED 19008-1
© 2013 Daikin Applied McQuay • 1-800-432-1342 • www.DaikinMcQuay.com
The dedicated exhaust energy recovery unit provides more energy recovery, and often at a lower cost than typical solutions. It is well suited for LEED® buildings and schools because of its ability to economically handle large ventilation rates.
Figure 1: Unit Components
Advantages• Recover energy from Class I & II air streams
- Class I air is defined by Standard 62.1 as normal return air with no odors or health issues- Class II air has some odor, but no health risks (ie: bathroom or cafeteria exhaust) The percentage of class 2
air that may be re-designated as class 1 is limited to no more than 10% by ASHRAE standard 62.• A single air handler for both exhaust air streams• A lower first cost than multiple smaller ERUs for each restroom• Damper and wall arrangement prevents Class II from recirculating to the building• Will work for VAV and CAV type systems• Bypass dampers can be added to the energy recovery wheel to save fan energy in economizer mode

© 2013 Daikin Applied McQuay • 1-800-432-1342 • www.DaikinMcQuay.com
Redundant fans provide 100% back-up for supply and return fans. This can be used to enhance reliability as well as simplify scheduling of maintenance and service work. Other features that are shown on this unit include:
1 . Bypass dampers on the energy recovery wheel to save fan energy when in economizer mode. 2 . Return air bypass damper to allow for up to 100% recirculated air in night mode.
Figure 1: Unit Components
Advantages• Complete flexibility in fan selection allows fans to be identical as well as the option to mix fans for different
operating conditions• Smaller footprint than two units or storing backup fans and parts nearby

A shorter AHU can be selected by providing exhaust air dampers in the return fan section.
Figure 1: Unit Components and Dimensions
Advantages• Shorter footprint and lower cost than traditional air side economizers• Flexible damper location for exhaust and OA dampers to accommodate installation requirements. (Either side,
top or end)• Installations in cold climates should use a blender and possibly look at splitting the outside air dampers to
encourage better mixing. Check on freeze protection offerings

© 2013 Daikin Applied McQuay • 1-800-432-1342 • www.DaikinMcQuay.com
A shorter AHU can be selected by providing exhaust air dampers in the return fan section. • Side return opening allows for unit to better match building limitations for the return air path• Exhaust air damper is located on the left hand end of the AHU• Damper locations can be customized to any side or size in order to accommodate installation requirements.
The designer should remember to pay attention to air mixing in climates with cold or hot & humid conditions
Figure 1: Unit Components and Dimensions
Advantages• Shorter footprint and smaller unit size than a traditional air side economizers• The smaller size can provide a lower cost depending on the damper size requirements of the unit

Figure 1: Unit Components and Dimensions
Advantages• A dual wheel AHU combines a total energy wheel with a sensible wheel that provides very good 100% outside
air performance. • The addition of the sensible wheel gives a higher effectiveness and reheats the supply air from saturated to a
more neutral relative humidity • These are often supplied on geothermal WSHP projects because they can significantly lower the outside air
loads and results in a smaller geothermal loop
