Marginal note:Definitions

276 The following definitions apply in this Subdivision.

CSA C439-18

CSA C439-18 means the CSA standard CAN/CSA-C439-18 entitled Laboratory methods of test for rating the performance of heat/energy-recovery ventilators. (CSA C439-18)

energy-recovery ventilator

energy-recovery ventilator means a factory-built packaged unit that has fans or blowers, has a maximum rated airflow of not more than 142 L/s (300 ft³/min) at 0°C and transfers heat and moisture between two isolated airstreams. (ventilateur-récupérateur d’énergie)

heat-recovery ventilator

heat-recovery ventilator means a factory-built packaged unit that has fans or blowers, has a maximum rated airflow of not more than 142 L/s (300 ft³/min) at 0°C and transfers heat between two isolated airstreams. (ventilateur-récupérateur de chaleur)

sensible heat recovery efficiency

sensible heat recovery efficiency means, in respect of an energy-recovery ventilator or a heat-recovery ventilator, the ratio of the net sensible energy recovered by the unit’s supply airstream, as adjusted to account for the unit’s external and internal energy gains and losses, to the maximum sensible energy that would be recovered if the unit had an infinite transfer area. (efficacité de récupération de chaleur sensible)
