What Is A Clean Air Furnace?
A Clean Air Furnace combines the fresh air benefits of a Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) with the comfort and efficiency of a Water Heater/Air Handler. This combination Heating system provides year-round ventilation and a steady stream of warm air for the healthiest, most comfortable home environment possible. It works in conjunction with an existing hot water heater and can accommodate a plenum mounted air conditioner as well. Up to 90% efficient!
How Does A Clean Air Furnace Work?
The compact Clean Air Furnace uses hot water as its heat source. Water is pumped from your home water heater to the furnace heating coil. A fan with a PSC high-efficiency motor blows the fresh air from the HRV into the heating coil where the circulating water warms the air. Water leaves the heater, travels through the hot water circulation pump, and returns to the water heater. As the water travels through the furnace's heating coil, air is warmed and sent to registers throughout the house.
The HRV removes stale, contaminated air from inside the house to the outdoors. At the same time, it draws fresh, oxygen-laden air from outside and distributes it throughout the house. Polluted air is constantly being replaced by an equal quantity of fresh, clean air.
Clean Air Furnace
Fresh Air for Your Home
- Warm, stale air from the home is returned to the Lifebreath Clean Air Furnace.
- Outdoor air travels through the fresh air intake and is brought into the integral HRV.
- The fresh and stale air pass through opposite sides of the HRV's aluminum heat exchange core.
- Heat from the stale air is transferred to the fresh air.
- Stale air is exhausted outside.
Meanwhile, in Lifebreath's ultra-efficient heating coil:
- Hot water is sent from the water heater to the furnace heating coil.
- A PSC type high-efficiency fan blows the tempered fresh air from the HRV into the coil.
- The circulation pump distributes hot water through the coil.
- The circulating hot water heats the air to the desired temperature.
- Warm, fresh air is distributed to registers throughout the house.
- The hot water travels through the coil and returns to the water heater for domestic use.
Benefits of a Lifebreath Clean Air Furnace:
- Quiet Clean Hydronic Heat - Provides a steady stream of uniform, temperate air that is more comfortable than conventionally heated air.
- Extremely Efficient - In conjunction with a high efficiency water heater, the Clean Air Furnace achieves a 90% Combined Annual Efficiency rating making it among the most efficient systems available.
- Fresh Air Ventilation, Free - Costs about the same amount as high-efficiency furnaces that don't provide whole-house ventilation. Keeps a fresh, healthy home in every season, in any climate.
- Safer Than Ever - eliminates the need for gas or oil flames, fumes or flue gases - ensures that safety is never an issue. Your domestic water heater is the sole heat source for the Clean Air Furnace.
- Compact Design - The compact dimensions and flexible duct connections of the Clean Air Furnace make it as easy to install as most high-efficiency furnaces.
- Long-Term Reliability - The relative simplicity of the water heater/air handler concept results in efficient operation and a long life. A premium quality circulator pump, high-capacity heating coil and single 4-speed fan motor for all air handling functions make for a quiet, reliable and easily serviced installation.
Easy Maintenance
Routine maintenance can be performed simply and quickly. The furnace filter should be checked regularly and replaced as needed. The HRV core should be washed twice a year
