MODULAR AIR CONDITIONING AND
HEAT PUMP FAN/COIL UNITS

for space-saving installations

 

The innovative Unico System allows central air conditioning and heating installation in applications where total comfort is the goal. The Unico System uses a conventional outdoor condensing unit or heat pump in conjunction with a specially designed indoor evaporator fan/coil unit, which distributes air through a high static pressure system of small ducts and plenums. Supply ducts to individual rooms are only 2-inch inside diameter, and can be run over or around structural obstacles or through existing walls and closets where conventional duct will not fit. Plenum duct inside dimensions are 7, 9, or 10-inch. Older buildings, hydronically heated homes, and other applications heretofore deemed “Impossible” can be air conditioned with a Unico System without major renovations or sacrifice of space.



 
The M series Unico fan/coil unit is for cooling and/or heating applications, and is available in three sizes which cover cooling capacities from 2 through 5 nominal tons and heating capacities from 20,000 to 120,000 Btuh using the hot water coil. The unit is modular in construction to accommodate the widest range of options and configurations. The modules easily clamp together and are light enough for one person to install. They can be arranged in a horizontal, upflow, or downflow configuration. The cooling module (either an evaporator or chilled water coil) is designed to match the blower module with an optional hot water heating module between them. The unit may be matched with most conventional condensing units or heat pumps of proper capacity. An optional electric duct heater, up to 20 kW, can be installed in the supply duct system for heating or auxiliary heating for heat pump systems.

Cabinet construction is galvanized steel and fully insulated. The Unico System cooling module (MC) uses a deep copper tube/aluminum fin coil that produces superior moisture removal compared to a more conventional system. It comes standard with a corrosion resistant primary drain pan to provide lifetime protection; the condensate drain is ¾-inch FPT. The refrigerant coil module is equipped with a factory installed thermostatic expansion valve and freeze protection controls for proper operation and to prevent icing.
Water coils are equipped with a drain and a vent valve.

 

All Unico System blower modules (MB) include a 208/230 volt, single phase direct-drive blower isolated from the conditioned air stream. The control box which houses the variable speed motorcontrol, blower relay(s), control transformer, and high and low voltage terminal blocks is shipped with the blower module and can be installed either on the top or side of the unit. Duct, plenums, secondary drain pans, connectors, and fittings are ordered separately according to individual job requirements. Specify round or square plenum connection when ordering. NOTE: The Unico System operates at a higher static pressure than conventional duct systems and has unique design and layout requirements for proper air distribution. It is important that the manufacturer's installation instructions be followed exactly to achieve maximum effectiveness.
