PLUMBING 5
All plumbing between components is typically done with 3/4" copper pipe and appropriate fittings. All
interconnecting piping is to be insulated.
System Types:
a) An Open System uses hot water from the residential hot water heater to supply both domestic hot
water and hot water to the Enerboss for space heat. See schematic on next page. Well systems
that incorporate a pressure tank are normally open systems.
b) A system becomes closed when a backflow prevention valve or check valve is installed in the cold
water pipe upstream of the water heater. The backflow prevention valve does not allow pressure
created by the heated water to be relieved into the cold water system. Therefore an expansion tank
must be installed. Local codes may require this type of system.
The spring loaded check valve (supplied) must be installed on the return water line close to the
Enerboss. Ensure flow arrow points to tank or boiler.
An air purge valve should be installed at the high point in the supply line close to the Enerboss.

5.2 Closed System
5.3 Off Season Pump Exerciser
The Enerboss's control features an automatic 24 hour pump exerciser. If there has been no pump activity
after 24 hours, the Enerboss will automatically circulate water in the system for 1 minute. This is done to
prevent water in the coil from becoming stagnant during long periods without a call for heat.
5.4 Pump Air Vent
To vent air from the pump, loosen the large screw on the front of the pump motor until water asppears.
Retighten the screw. Important: Failure to vent the pumpwill cause the pump to fail prematurely and
void the warranty.

Air Handler
The Enerboss distributes heating, cooling and ventilation air through a 22” x 21” (500, 700, and 900
series) or 20”x 10” (400 series) rectangular plenum in an up-blast configuration. Return air enters the
unit through a 16” x 20” (500, 700, and 900 series) or 16”x6” (400 series) rectangular duct opening
located on the side. Proper sizing of the return air duct is critical to unit performance (see table
below for return air duct sizing). For Models with integral slab cooling coils turning vanes in the last
return bend are recommended for optimum
performance.
NOTE: Units with HRV or integrated cooling
coil must be installed on a minimum 8” stand or
blocking to allow for condensate drainage and
easy access to connections from below the unit.
6.1 Traditional Ducting (Low
Velocity)
Good engineering practice should be followed
when designing a duct system. Nu-Air
recommends the use of HRAI's Residential Air
System Design Manual.
Low velocity ducting Do’s and Don’ts
NOTE: A damper is required in the main
return duct for balancing the HRV during
commissioning.
December, 2013 Page 15 of 37
6.2 High Velocity Ducting
General System Description:
1. Nu-Air's high velocity system is based on a 3" diameter aluminum insulated flex duct system with
a maximum lead length of 25 feet and minimum lead length 10’. For even distribution keep
lengths to a max of 30% differential between shortest and longest.
2. A directional 3" vertical throw grill should be used (EN-GR3).
3. A plenum of 22”x 22” (500, 700, and 900 series) or 20”x 10” (400 series) inches square and a
minimum of 24 inches high connect the Enerboss to the duct system. Good engineering practice
should be followed. It is recommended that the plenum be acoustically insulated for sound
attenuation.
4. High velocity duct systems operate at higher pressures than traditional duct systems. Care must
be taken to seal all joints and seams with duct compound or tape to ensure proper air distribution
and noise control. Trunk ducts should carry a max. 1500 fpm velocity.
5. Follow good engineering practices. Avoid placing ducts in attics or unconditioned spaces. If this
cannot be avoided, insulate the ducts to the R-value required in the National Building for your
design temperature.
6. A room by room heat loss and heat gain determination is recommended.
7. Balance the airflow, heat and cooling output at each grill using a CFM range of 50-70 per lead
and outputs within 25% of design.
8. Follow the table above to determine the maximum and minimum number of leads available.
9. Return air ducting connects to the Enerboss using a 16” x 20” (500, 700, and 900 series) or 16”x
6” (400 series) opening. Vibration isolation (e.g. flex connector) is recommended at the return
air drop.
10. Return air should be picked up in a neutral, central location and is sized in the same way as a
traditional low velocity system (max. 700 fpm). Return air must be filtered prior to entering the
Enerboss using the filter provided.
11. A damper is required in the main return duct for balancing the HRV during commissioning.

High Velocity Ducting Options
System 1 – Termination Grills Within 25ft of Supply Plenum
When maximum lead length is 25' or less from plenum, leads can be taken directly off the plenum using
side or top take-offs. This can eliminate bulkheads and the cost associated with boxing these in. Only
two fitting types - flex duct and HV-GR3 grills are needed.
System 2 - Leads Longer Than 25 Feet
For systems where the length from grill to plenum is longer than 25', one (1) or two (2) main carrying
trunk(s) is needed (see Enerboss HI-V Duct sizing Table).
Hi-Velocity Example (system 2)
December, 2013 Page 17 of 37
System 3 - Elements of System 1 and 2 Combined.
24” plenum
Acoustically
insulated
General design criteria for the HI-V system are:
Trunk duct should be designed to carry the greater of heating or cooling CFM at 1200-1500 FPM
max.
Trunk duct lengths are shown in equivalent length
Two trunks can be used or a combination of system 1 and 2 with one trunk is acceptable
Take offs should be spaced a minimum of 12" apart
Take offs can be oriented in any suitable direction
Branch ducts should be designed to deliver 50 to 70 CFM at each 3” grill.
Return Duct Sizing
The return duct is always low velocity with maximum 700FPM and optimum 600FPM.
To calculate return duct size:
Minimum duct size = Max Airflow (CFM)
Max Velocity (FPM)
E.G.: 713 choose highest of cooling and heating cfm.
Minimum Return Duct = 1200CFM = 1.71sq/ft = 1.71 x 144 = 247 sq/in = 20” x 12” minimum return
duct 700FPM
Optimum Return Duct = 1200CFM = 2.00 sq/ft = 2.00 x 144 = 288 sq/in = 24” x 12” optimum return
duct 600FPM
Branch Ducts
Use 3” galvanized duct or 3” foil flex duct.
In cooling systems use insulated duct.
In high pressure systems it is important to tape or seal all seams & joints against leakage.
NOTE: The Hi-Velocity duct system must be designed so that total external static does not exceed
1.5” w.c.

3” Hi-Velocity Grills (HV-GR3) 6.2.1
The Enerboss 3” grill (Part#HV-GR3) is specifically designed for the Enerboss Hi- Velocity system to
minimize noise and maximize performance and comfort.
Grills can be located in ceiling, floor, walls, and kick plates.
The high velocity system is designed to “throw” the delivered air for proper mixing from floor to ceiling.
It is important therefore to note the following:
● Locate grills in low traffic areas:
- Room corners
- Behind doors
- Next to windows
- Away from curtains
- Kick plates (avoid in front of sink or mirrors)
● Avoid locations where: grills are:
- Likely to be covered by furniture
- Directly above tall furniture or cabinets.
- Directly above seating areas
3” Hi-Velocity Grill (Part#HV-GR3)
(Top View) (Side View)
The HV-GR3 grill features a fixed louvered design with a 7 degree pitch. Rotation of the grill can be
used to direct airflow towards or away from an object. The 45 degree collar allows for a 90 degree bend
in flex without rigid elbows.
NOTE: Enerboss 3” grills (Part#HV-GR3) are paintable ABS plastic. Use paints formulated to bond to
plastic e.g. “KRYLON FUSION” spray paint by SHERWIN-WILLIAMS. Alternatively prime with an
ALKYD primer and top coat with latex or oil.
December, 2013 Page 21 of 37
6.3 HRV Ducting
Fresh air from the outside, exhaust air from space and exhaust air to outside all connect to the left hand
side of the unit via 6-inch diameter ducting. The Enerboss with integrated HRV allows for wet room
collection of exhaust air via an independent duct system. Six-inch diameter main lines branch off, reduce
in size and terminate in the kitchen, washroom, laundry, etc. HRAI and others offer guidelines for duct
sizing. Nu-Air recommends the use of these guidelines as good engineering practice.
Ducting To The Outside 6.3.1
Between the weather hoods and the HRV you must use fully insulated ducting with an integrated vapour
barrier. Insulated ducting with an integrated vapour barrier must also be used on all runs passing through
unheated areas. This will avoid condensation problems and energy losses.
The minimum RSI value of insulation should equal that of the local building codes.
Weather Hoods
1. Insulated flex duct slides over the galvanized sleeve of the weather hood.
2. Use sheathing tape (red) to join the inner duct to the hood's sleeve.
3. Tape the vapour barrier to back of the hood without compressing the insulation. Caulk or foam
seal around the collars and hoods to eliminate air and water leaks.
4. Locate the hoods for easy access to
the bird screen for cleaning
purposes.
Make the insulated duct that connects the
weather hoods to the HRV as short as
possible to minimize airflow restrictions.
Avoid sharp bends and stretch out the inner
lining of the flex duct as much as possible
to reduce static pressure and maximize
airflow.
Locating the Weather Hoods 6.3.2
There should be a minimum of 6’ (feet) of
separation between the fresh air and exhaust hoods. Supply hoods should be a minimum of 18” (inches)
above the ground level. Exhaust hoods should be at least 4 “(inches) above the ground level. Holes
through the wall should be 1” larger then the collar on the hood. Fresh air hoods must be 3’ away from
any other appliance exhaust vent or furnace vent.
Notes on Locating the Weather Hoods
Fresh air intakes should be located away from possible sources of contamination such as:
Gas meters Garbage containers
Oil fill pipes Vehicle exhaust
Dryer or other exhaust Within attics or crawl spaces
December, 2013 Page 22 of 37
DRAINS 7
Install drain spouts in the bottom of the HRV section. Tighten with a speed nut and connect 5/8" plastic
hose as shown below. Fill the trap with water.
COMMISSIONING 8
Commissioning of an Enerboss system requires both air and water side balancing. Units that have an
integrated HRV additionally require balancing of the supply and exhaust air streams to within 10% of
each other on high speed. Hot water flow and temperature adjustment to the air handler is required on all
units as is a thorough flushing of the plumbing to remove any loose solder sludge that can cause
problems with the circulator pump and valves. Commissioning measurements should be recorded on
the form provided in Appendix C.
8.1 Supply Air Balancing
The supply air motor is an ECM operating in constant cfm mode. Adding static will not significantly
reduce the total air flow as you would expect with a psc motor. On ducted systems the amount of air at
each grille can be regulated with dampers.
8.2 HRV Balancing
The HRV exhaust air can be adjusted in low and high speed using the control board and the procedure
that follows. The amount of outside air is adjusted using dampers. A damper in the return air can be
closed (partially) to increase outside air flow or opened to decrease outside air flow. If outside air needs
to be further reduced, a balancing damper located in the HRV outside air compartment should be used.
When balancing the HRV:
-Close all windows, doors and fireplace dampers.
December, 2013 Page 23 of 37
-Turn off any exhaust systems such as bathroom fans, range hoods, central vacuums or dryers.
There are two modes of operation in which the HRV needs to be balanced.
1) High speed (High ventilation switch).
2) Low speed (thermostat fan ON, no heat or cool calls).
Balancing Sequence:
High Speed Balancing – set supply and exhaust to the specified flows
Low speed balancing – Fan On. Reduce the higher flow to match the lower
Balancing mode 1
High Speed Balancing:
With all dampers fully open and the exhaust fan speeds at the factory setting, run the air ahndler in high
ventilation mode.
a. Outside Air High Speed Adjustment
If the outside air flow is too low, gradually close the return air damper until the desired OA flow is
measured. If the outside air flow is too high gradually close the outside air balancing damper until the
OA flow is obtained.
b. Exhaust Air High Speed Adjustment
Locate the two blue pots on the circuit board. The top pot adjusts the exhaust fan HIGH speed. Turn
clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease CFM. Adjust the exhaust flow rate to within 10%
of the OA rate.
Balancing Mode 2
Low Speed Balancing
Measure and record the flow rate of the Outside Air with the air handler in low speed ventilation (fan On,
thermostat system switch off) using the same method described above. Note: No adjustment can be
made to this flow without affecting the high speed flow and repeating the high speed balance.
Measure the exhaust air from building low speed flow. Use the lower pot to adjust the exhaust fan LOW
speed. Turn clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease CFM. Adjust until the flow matches
that of the outside air.
NOTE: For low speed balancing a micro manometer should be used. Magnehelic gagues do not
have low enough resolution for these low pressures. Alternatively, velocity may be measured at
the outside hoods with a vane anemometer or similar

8.3 Water Side Commissioning
Filling the water heater and setting system temperature: 8.3.1
1. At this point all valves should be closed and the system dry.
2. Open the cold water supply valve and a hot water tap.
3. Fill the water heater/boiler with water allowing air to escape at the open tap. Shut off the tap
when air has stopped escaping.
4. Using the boiler or water heater's control, set the system to operate at your design temperature.
See Equipment Selection Chart and preliminary design information forms.
5. Following the manufacturers instructions, start the water heater and allow it to reach the set
point.
For cases where high water temperatures are used, an anti-scald valve will be required. Set this to
120 F and verify by measuring the water temperature at the taps.
To fill the heating loop: 8.3.2
1. Connect a garden hose to the drain valve and direct water to a floor drain or similar.
2. Open the drain valve.
3. Open the heating loop's hot water supply shut off valve
4. Allow water to flow until only water (no air) is flowing at the drain.
5. Close the hot water shut off valve.
6. Open the return water shut off valve and allow water to flow until no air is escaping at the
drain.
7. Close the drain valve.
8. Open the hot water shut off valve.
Purging the pump and verifying flow in the heating loop: 8.3.3
1. Turn on electrical power to the Enerboss.
2. Set the house thermostat well above room temperature to force a call for heat.
3. Check that the circulating pump and fan are operating.
4. Hot water should be entering the fan coil and cooler water leaving.
5. Warm air should be exiting all supply grills/diffusers.
6. Apply the supplied warning label to the water heater near the aqua stat without covering any
existing labels.
Water flow Balancing: 8.3.4
This step should be done when both the room air temperature and water heater temperature are
stabilized.
NOTE: Return air temperature needs to be near 70 F ( 21 C).
1. Initiate a call for heat from the room thermostat.
2. Measure the supply (SAT) and return (RAT) air temperatures.
3. Measure the supply (SWT) and return (RWT) water temperatures
4. Calculate the heat output by the formula:
December, 2013 Page 25 of 37
Btu/hr = (SAT-RAT) x CFM x 1.08
(See Enerboss spec sheet for CFM at heating speed.)
5. If the design heat loss is not being met at this condition, increase the water heater temperature
set point and repeat the previous steps
6. If the water temperature drop in the fan coil is less than 20 F, adjust the throttling valve to
reduce water flow. NOTE: ▲T increases above 20 F (11 C) increases water heater efficiency.
7. Repeat until heat loss is met and water temperature drop is greater than or equal to 20 F.
8. The minimum recommended supply air temperature is 115 F.
9. If the supply air temperature or heat output cannot be met at with a 20 F water temperature
drop, allow a lower temperature drop across the coil.
10. Important - Verify the anti-scald valve is adjusted properly once final adjustments have
been made. [ 140 F ( 60 C) or less]
December, 2013 Page 26 of 37
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE: 9
Nu-Air recommends annual service and maintenance by a qualified HVAC contractor.
Disconnect the power supply to the Enerboss before attempting any service.
Maintenance should include:
QUARTERLY
1. Filter Replacement
- Return air – quarterly (Clean as often as necessary to prevent restriction of air flow).
- E/HRV - vacuum quarterly, replace annually.
2. Check outside hoods for debris and blockage (grass cuttings, leaves, insect and bird nests).
3. Wipe down all interior surfaces of the cabinet with disinfectant.
ANNUALLY
1. Coil cleaning – hot water and evaporator. Vacuum with a brush attachment. If necessary, wash with a
non toxic coil cleaner taking precautions not to wet motors and electrical components.
Access the A/C coil by removing the return air filter.
To access the heating coil, remove the EC motor/blower by disconnecting the two molex connectors
and removing the two screws at the front of the blower housing.
2. Fans – Vacuum or use a small brush to clean the blades of the main and HRV exhaust fans. To Clean
the main fan it may be necessary to remove the blower assembly as described above.
3. HRV core cleaning (aluminum and polypropylene) – remove the core by sliding it forward. Wash
with warm water and a mild detergent. Shake to remove excess water and replace.
4. ERV core cleaning (cellulose) - remove the core by sliding it forward. Vacuum only; washing will
damage the core and void the warranty.
5. Check the controls for proper operation.
6. Check E/HRV air flows and rebalance if necessary.
7. Check boiler/ water heater set point against commissioning report.
8. Inspect the duct work for air leaks (at joints and seams) and blockages (crushed ducts and crimps at
elbows).
December, 2013 Page 27 of 37
TROUBLESHOOTING 10
Pump fails to start - The pump may “stick” if it has not been operated for extended periods. Turn off the
power, remove the large screw on the end of the pump motor and turn the shaft several times with a
screwdriver. Replace the screw and start the pump.
Noisy pump – air may be trapped in the water circuit. Purge the system of entrapped air.
Insufficient or no heat –
Boiler/water heater temperature set too low
Air trapped in heating system – Purge system
Insufficient flow – check for pipping restrictions; open valves
Air handler inlet and outlet connections may be reversed
Undersized boiler or water heater
Undersized air handler
Water heater thermostat not properly calibrated
