What is the Unico System? The
Unico System is a small duct central heating, air conditioning and ventilation
system manufactured by Unico System International Limited (USIL), headquartered
in Wales. The product has been on the market in the United States and Canada for
the past 20 years, and over 250,000 of these systems have been installed there.
The system has been profiled in numerous North American magazines and media outlets,
most prominently on the television programme This Old House. What are the
system benefits? Unico System’s modular air handlers and coils can be
installed in ceilings, floors, crawlspaces and cupboards, and its flexible 80
millimetre supply tubing can be routed through, in and around existing construction,
eliminating the need for either ungainly metal ducts or wall-hung split-type systems.
Unico System not only fits where others can’t but it also creates even room temperatures
without drafts. The system is very quiet and unobtrusive in appearance. Is
it a top notch heating/cooling system? The Unico System is a perfect option
for heating, cooling, ventilation or all three combined. The system heats in conjunction
with a boiler; can both heat and cool in heat pump mode; and can be used for direct
expansion cooling. Additionally, the system is a perfect compliment to underfloor
heating systems and for geothermal applications. Many users have the system installed
for hot water heating only and then simply add air conditioning at a later time.
As a benefit to the plumbing market, the system can also cool using chilled water.
How is the system used in the UK? The system can be used for residential,
commercial and industrial applications. The range of applications used in the
United Kingdom so far include executive or larger self-build homes; historic refurbishments
including a number of listed properties; cinemas; professional training facilities;
factories; numerous offices; and kitchens. Product - Air Handlers
The Unico System uses almost any manufacturer's 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. The "M Series" Unico fan/coil unit is for cooling and/or heating
applications, and is available in three sizes, either - 1218, 2436, or 4260 which
cover cooling capacities from two through five nominal tons and heating capacities
from 3.5 kW to 27kW. The 2436 and 4260 units are modular to accommodate the
widest range of options and configurations. Benefits: Even
Room Temperatures One of the most significant benefits is the very even
room temperatures which can be rendered from these systems, often less than one-degree
temperature difference throughout an entire space. This happens through a process
known as aspiration, where air enters a room at a higher velocity than with conventional
air systems, and creates a venturi effect where all air in a room begins to gently
draw itself toward the entering air, creating very even room temperatures. In
this illustration, numerous outlets provide conditioned air, but the temperature
difference through out will be one degree or less. Little or No Drafts
This same process, the aspiration process, also guards against drafting, which
is a frequent complaint of most office heating and cooling systems. This is how
standard heating and cooling systems work, leading to drafts, but also hot and
cold spots. Freedom of Design Additionally, these systems can save
you valuable floor space within a room, as this illustration will show. Small
duct/small air handler systems will free up 20 percent more floor space than standard
radiators. Better Aesthetics Additionally, these outlets are unobtrusive
and have been designed to fit in and match with the space they are installed into,
creating a much more visually appealing situation than other possible applications.
Small duct small air handler systems can have their outlets installed in the floor,
ceiling, or in a side wall, allowing for a variety of solutions within a space.
Quiet These systems, if they are installed correctly, and the design
and installation rules governing the system have been followed—are extremely quiet.
Within a room, the outlets will generate less than 3 dab each, far below the British
and European standard of 35 dab or less within a standardly sized room. Improved
Air Filtration Given climactic occurrences, the build up of smog, and
the often acrid state of the air, providing filtration and ventilation is not
only an option, it is often a necessity. With the capacity to bring in up
to 100 percent of outside air, continually refreshing and filtering the air as
the system operates, small duct small air handler systems can help keep end users
healthy. | |
