Mini Duct Systems
 Many
New York homeowners of older
homes without forced-air HVAC
systems, would like to add
central air conditioning and/or
heating ducts, but are daunted
by the cost and difficulty of
the installation process.
Installation of ductwork may
require removing large sections
of walls, floors or ceilings, or
adding unsightly box chases.
However, high velocity heating
and cooling systems minimize
these alterations by using small
diameter ducts that can be more
easily threaded through floor,
ceiling, and wall cavities.
According to the manufacturers,
these high velocity systems
operate quietly and improve
dehumidification, room air
mixing, and energy efficiency
over standard air-delivery duct
systems.
High velocity heating and
cooling systems use a special
fan coil and air handling unit
that generates high pressure air
forced through small diameter
ducts. The main supply trunk is
either a rectangular or round
duct that supplies air to
flexible, insulated, 2" diameter
plastic feeder ducts. Air passes
through sound-suppressing tubing
at the end of a duct run before
entering the room through a
plastic collar fitting.
According to manufacturers, air
is supplied at 440 to 1200 cubic
feet per minute (CFM).
High velocity systems use
standard outdoor condensing
units for air conditioning and
heat pump systems. As an option,
a water coil can be mounted in
the air handling unit for boiler
heating or chilled water
cooling. Alternatively, adding a
bank of electric heating
elements to the air handler can
provide heating capability to a
high velocity air-conditioning
system. High velocity system air
handlers can satisfy cooling
capacities between 18,000 and
60,000 BTUH and heating
capacities between 24,000 and
143,000 BTUH.

aesthetics and integrity of any
structure.
Features and Benefits
 |
Fits where
conventional systems can't,
requiring little-to-no
remodeling and eliminates boxy
metal ductwork. Never use
un-attractive window or

Blends into any
dÈcor - Unico System's 5"
diameter outlets are available
in paintable plastic or
stainable wood and are virtually
in- visible once they are
installed. |
|
|
Draft free
because it works on the
principle of aspiration in which
streams of air enter a room and
gently mix with the room's
existing air currents;
temperatures are even from floor
to ceiling, without the hot
spots and cold spots of
conventional systems.
|
|
|
Quiet because
its supply tubing is lined with
sound dampening spun-bond nylon;
you feel the superior comfort of
Unico but you don't hear it.
Removes up to 30% more moisture
than conventional systems
because unique coils are colder
than conventional coils; this is
especially beneficial in areas
with high humidity.
