THE ConsERV™ N SERIES PRODUCT LINE
Four models of ConsERV™ systems are available to cover a range from 200 to 4250 CFM (three phase
models have additional flow capability). Each model is a distinct physical size and can be outfitted with C750A
ConsERV™ cores to provide the appropriate performance. Each of these systems can be configured for use
indoors or outdoors and for vertical or horizontal return and supply air streams.
EXAMPLE: A system with the product code N3XVVB-ACBBAA-AC would have three (3) C750A ConsERV™
cores, be suitable for exterior (rooftop) use, supplied in a vertical configuration where the return and supply air
openings are on the bottom for mating with a roof curb (supplied by others or selected as an Option), and
would have an electrical system suitable for operation with medium voltage (208 VAC) three phase power.
Extra cost options installed at the factory would include motorized dampers on the fresh and exhaust air
streams; differential pressure switches triggered by excessive static pressure differential across either bank of
filters; and an internally mounted PLC with the ability to relay unit status back to a building management system
via BACnet while sending the fan speed control voltage requested via BACnet to the onboard blowers.
