It depends on your venting levels. Based on the example payback table, high-venting operations (starting MC of 130.1%) can see a payback in as little than 0.52 years, average-venting operations (starting MC of 58.5%) around 1.37 years, and low-venting operations (starting MC of 38.1%) around 2.58 years.
The HRV2500 requires 480V three-phase at 15A, and the HRV5000 requires 480V three-phase at 20A.
Yes. The HRV can be retrofitted to any kiln manufacturer's equipment, whether it is a package or track kiln. The HRV also works with a variety of energy sources, including biomass, steam or hot water, natural gas, and propane-fired kiln systems.
Yes, it's designed to handle the full range. The Nyle HRV system can vent at 2,500 - 5,000 CFM and is sufficient for both the fastest-drying softwoods and the slowest-drying hardwoods. It controls the flow of heat, air, and moisture so the lumber dries evenly, producing high-quality lumber and reducing degradation.
