Vents Frigate 150 Series EC Motor Heat Recovery Ventilators

Frigate 150 EC HRV - Energy-Efficient Whole-Home Fresh Air Ventilation

The Vents Frigate 150 EC HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) is a compact, high-efficiency fresh air ventilation system designed for homes, apartments, cottages, and small commercial spaces. It delivers balanced supply and exhaust airflow while recovering heat from outgoing air, helping improve indoor air quality, control humidity, and reduce energy loss year-round.

At the core of the Frigate 150 EC are electronically commutated (EC) motors with external rotors and backward-curved impellers, engineered for quiet operation and precise airflow control. EC motor technology provides excellent energy efficiency, long service life, and flexible speed control, allowing the system to adapt to changing ventilation needs while keeping power consumption low. All motors and impellers are dynamically balanced to ensure smooth, reliable performance.

A polystyrene cross-flow heat recovery core captures up to 69% of heat from the exhaust air stream, pre-conditioning incoming fresh air before it enters the home. This makes the Frigate 150 EC an ideal solution for energy-efficient homes seeking continuous fresh air without sacrificing comfort.

The unit includes MERV 6 supply and exhaust filters to reduce dust and airborne particles, along with a slim 9 5/8″ cabinet and 5-inch duct connections for flexible installation in tight mechanical spaces. With airflow up to 186 CFM, low sound levels, and a 10-year warranty on the recovery core, the Frigate 150 EC offers dependable whole-home ventilation in a compact footprint.
