Welcome to Unico!
UNICO Inc Who are we? Unico Inc. is a family owned and operated manufacturing company. Unico Inc. is the largest manufacturer of SDHV systems in the world. Unico Inc. is manufactured in the USA Unico Inc. equipment is sold in all 50 States, all provinces of Canada and 22 countries internationally 2
Advantages to Unico Uses up to one-third the space of a conventional ducted system No need to drop ceilings, build soffits, etc. Preserves architectural integrity of the structure Takes out 30% more humidity No drafts or streaking of dirt
Typical Supply Duct Sizes (3-ton) Three SDHV systems fit inside of one Conventional System SDHV 7.0 Dia. Conventional 8 x 30 Conventional SDHV 3.5 x 12 14 x inches 20 SDHV 6.5 x 6.5 Aspiration Illustr.
Small Space for Ductwork
Lower Airflow & 6 Row Coil Removes 30% More Moisture
122 F (50 C) Discharge Air Temp At 47 Rating Point
SDHV Conventional 2 inch outlet 4 x 10 Standard Register 3/4 x 8 inch outlet 8
Unico vs. Conventional Sized the same way as a conventional system s HVAC load Unico has a colder coil for greater moisture removal The coil uses deeper and more tightly finned coil 1000 to 2000 fpm in the main trunk
Aspiration versus Diffusion Gentle Air Movement Throughout the Room Returns MUST be opposite supply. Dead Zone Return can be anywhere Narrow Band of High Velocity Air Dead Zone Drafts
Where is Unico Used? Applications Residential: Historic, Retrofit, Custom Home Commercial: Universities, Churches, Offices Industrial: Spot Cooling
One System in Two Story House Typical Unico Installation
What is iseries? An Inverter Heat Pump Can be used for Air Conditioning, Heating, and Domestic Hot Water (DHW) through use of an optional de-superheater A variety of outdoor and indoor units can be matched to the desired configuration + =
What is iseries? SINGLE SPLIT: One Outdoor Unit and One Indoor Unit MULTISPLIT: One Outdoor Unit and up to Four Indoor Units SINGLE SPLIT One outdoor unit can be both single split and multi-split MULTISPLIT Easy installation. Every indoor unit is connected to outdoor unit with a simple flare connection.
Outdoor Operating Conditions -32 C (-25.6 F) -15 C (5 F) +43 C +50 C (109.4 F) (122 F) iseries systems fit every installation, both warm and cold climate
Wide modulation range Larger modulation means less electric consumption and more efficiency
Higher SEER IS30G80 with non-ducted inside units : 20.00 SEER IS36G10 with non-ducted inside units: 18.00 SEER IS30G80 with Unico and non-ducted 16.25 SEER IS36G110 with Unico and non-ducted With SDHV (Unico) 15.50 SEER 12.50 SEER
Additional emix port for Domestic Hot Water
Intelligent Defrost and Dynamic Cold Draft 1. No Cold Blow = No Cycle Losses 2. More Efficient, You never stop heating in the Defrost Mode 3. A trickle of hot gas directly from the compressor is used to prevent ice from forming 4. Two Electric Heaters: 1. To keep the crankcase warm 2/ To Prevent the Condensate from freezing
I Series Range IS30G80 IS36G110 2 Tons (8 KW) 3 Tons (11 KW)
Features that the market leaders in ductless air conditioning and heating do NOT have: Auxiliary Heat Lower Temperatures for Heating Operation Better defrost system, can operate when the system is in heating mode Same outdoor unit used for both one to one and multi-split applications
Features that the market leaders in ductless air conditioning and heating do NOT have: Ability to do zoning with dampers A variety of third party thermostats Ability to cool or heat multiple rooms Ability to provide Domestic Hot Water
Combines all the efficiencies and performance of inverter technology with all the features and benefits of The Unico System
Unico has been used on a number of historic homes. We are a partner of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and have been used in: The Abraham Lincoln Summer White House Harry Truman Little White House in Key West, FL Warren Air Force Base in the historic building The apartments at the Cabildo in New Orleans

Unico s small space has allowed us to go where no other conventional system could go. We help heat and cool buildings with a minimum of space required for the ductwork. This allows the designer to give more room to the living space and less for the mechanical system
