RenewAire®, a Waunakee, WI-based manufacturer of HVAC and indoor air quality (IAQ) products, has added the LE5X to its LE Series commercial product line of packaged static plate enthalpy core, total energy recovery ventilators
(ERVs) <https://renewaire.com/products/> .
The LE5X extends the LE Series <https://renewaire.com/product-series/le-series/> down to 1,250 CFM,completing a high-value static plate ERV lineup spanning 1,250 to 11,000 CFM. Designed for smaller specialty education, healthcare, and retail spaces, the LE5X allows engineers to specify exact ERV CFM requirements-delivering right-sized performance without added cost.
The five static plate core LE5X is available in indoor or rooftop configurations. The indoor unit features a compact footprint of 103 7/8 L × 81 1/2 W × 71 1/8 H inches, with additional dimensional details for rooftop configurations available at renewaire.com or on the product submittal. Engineers can also select from multiple airflow orientations, allowing the LE5X to function as a self-contained unit or as an IAQ complement to variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems, fan coils, chilled beams, heat pumps, radiant floor heating and cooling, and packaged terminal air conditioning systems.
Despite its compact size, the LE5X delivers many of the same standard specifications and customization options found in larger commercial ERVs. The unit is factory wired and designed with a plug-and-play, single point electrical connection for quick job site installation. A Premium Efficiency IE3, totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) motor is standard; an Ultra Premium Efficiency IE5 motor is available as an optional upgrade. Both motor types are offered in 3, 5, and 7.5 hp configurations.
Variable frequency drives (VFDs) are optional with IE3 motors and included with the IE5 motor option for variable airflow control.
The RenewAire 24VAC transformer relay package is the standard control package. Optional Enhanced and Premium Integrated Programmable Control (IPC) packages enable fine-tuning of motor speeds, temperature, humidity, and airflow monitoring, factory preprogrammed operational sequences, and other performance calibrations. Control upgrades also support sensor activation, handheld remote operation, parameter display, filter alarms, and other advanced features. Optional communication interfaces include BACnet®, MS/TP or IP, Modbus, and TCP/IP.
The LE5X comes standard with MERV 8 filters and can accommodate MERV 13 filters to comply with ASHRAE 62.1 2025 minimum filter rating requirements.
Additional LE5X features include:
- Forward curved centrifugal supply and exhaust blowers.
- Supply and exhaust fan motor voltages of 208-230V single or three phase; 460V three phase; and 575V three phase.
- External static pressure range of 0 to 2 in. w.g.
- 1″ foil-faced insulation, or optional insulated double-wall cabinet construction.
- AHRI 1060 certified cores that are ETL listed, NEMA Class 1 rated, and equipped with Class 1 AMCA certified low leakage isolation dampers for outdoor and return airstreams.
- Ten-year warranty on the five static-plate enthalpy cores and two years on the unit.
