PRC / PRCLC

REGENCORE

The RegenCore is a high effectiveness energy recovery unit. The RegenCore recovers sensible energy during

both heating and cooling seasons, and under select conditions, RegenCore also recovers latent energy. The

new regenerating core product sets itself apart from other recovery devices with its fully tested design, industry

leading effectiveness of up to 90% and no pre-heat requirement down to outdoor temperatures of -40°C/F.

PRC and PRCLC units are available in a wide range of sizes to accommodate each unique project’s airflow

requirements. The PRC’s wide range of available airflows combined with its indoor and outdoor designs make

it suitable for a multitude of applications. The PRCLC is a lighter duty unit for indoor use is an ideal option for

use in compact spaces.

PRC / PRCLC Regencore

TYPICAL APPLICATIONSThe RegenCore has excellent

owner payback when used in most

applications: education facilities,

sportsplex facilities, commercial office

buildings, multi-story residential

buildings, banks, warehouses,

car dealerships and casinos.

MODELS + Standard (PRC)

+ Light Duty (PRCLC)

CONSTRUCTION FEATURES + Indoor and outdoor designs

+ Thermally broken aluminum post & corner cabinet (PRC)

+ Double wall 2 inch foam panel

+ Formed or structural base frame (PRC)

+ AMCA listed, low leakage, high cycle dampers

+ Gear drive motors

+ 1100 Alloy aluminum cores

+ Carel controls

+ 1500 hour salt spray rated finish

INDUSTRY LEADING TEST FACILITIESRegenCore units are tested to the highest industry standards

via the Price Environmental Chamber. The chamber maintains

temperatures ranging from -40°C/F to +40°C (104°F) and is paired

with a Price Mechanical custom air handling unit to simulate building

return air by heating or cooling and introducing humidity. The

chamber, air handling unit, and instrumentation allow for precise

energy balances and accurate efficiency measurement making

RegenCore the industry’s only product with fully tested indoor

and outdoor performance data.

PRC OPERATING MODESEnergy RecoveryThere are two stages to the energy recovery process. Below is an explanation of typical operation during winter

conditions:

Cycle A: shows core 1 storing heat from return air being

exhausted from the building. Core 2 is releasing the

heat previously stored to condition the colder outdoor

air to supply air.

Cycle B: During the cycle, dampers are re-positioned

so the inverse occurs. Now core 1 is releasing heat it

captured and stored during the cycle A. Core 2 is now

recovering heat from the exhaust air.

Energy Recovery Cycle A

Energy Recovery Cycle B



StandbyThe standby mode positions the dampers

to isolate the building from outdoor

conditions.

EconomizerThe economizer mode suspends the

re-positioning of the dampers & energy

recovery to use outdoor air for cooling.

During this mode the dampers will

reposition every 3 hours to self-clean the

cores.

Recirculation (Optional)The recirculation mode positions the

dampers to recirculate building air when

the space is not occupied. Additional

dampers are required for this mode.
