    Introducing the new SDHV Green Series Air Handler with EC Motor Technology

    Same on the outside - Better on the inside!

    Typical of Unico: We have taken our traditional air handler that for decades has enjoyed success in countless applications and made it a more intelligent, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly unit. Features of the new Green Series such as the SCB (S.M.A.R.T. Control Board) and the new EC (Electronically Commutated) motor give us a Small-Duct High-Velocity air delivery system superior to any other in the industry. Our objective was to significantly improve the motor performance by incorporating EC motor technology managed by our enhanced software application within the S.M.A.R.T. (Software Managed Air Rate Technology) Control Board—all while keeping the modular design of our air handler intact.

    The result...The new Unico System Green Series Small-Duct High-Velocity air-handler.

    Unico Green Series Air Handler

    The ability to precisely manage airflow in a variety of operating modes is key to maximizing comfort. The new Unico System Green Series air handlers, combined with the new S.M.A.R.T. Control Board and the new EC motor, will provide just the perfect amount of airflow whether cooling, heating or simply circulating air. With all the new features, the new Unico System Green Series will provide:

    • Greater comfort in heating, cooling and circulation modes.
    • Availability in both 120v and 240v
    • Perfect solution for multiple zoning capabilities without by-pass dampers
    • Greater efficiencies when paired with 2 stage condensers

    Learn more.

    EC Motor Technology

    The new Green Series EC motor is the heart of our new air handler series. The variable-speed fan motor adjusts speed to provide a consistent flow of comfortable conditioned air with quiet operation. It features advanced design characteristics for maximum efficiency, comfort, and reliability. Key features of the new motor are:

    • At low speeds the new EC motor is up to two decibels quieter
    • The new EC motor is 17% more energy efficient at full speed and 30 % more efficient at low speed than our current PSC motor

    Learn more.

    S.M.A.R.T. Control Board

    The new S.M.A.R.T. Control Board is the brains of the new air handler series. Combined with the EC motor it provides the highest level of Indoor Comfort that a homeowner demands.

    Features of the SCB are:

    • The ability to manage both airflow and motor speed according to the needs of the thermostat and or zoning needs.
    • Two options to set airflow
    • Programmable via a laptop by ordinary USB cable, or
    • On board, switch selectable pre-programmed settings
    • Diagnostic feedback
    • An enhanced soft start and soft stop

    Learn more.

    UniChiller RC

    The UniChiller RC is a refreshing alternative in the outdoor air condenser market. This revolutionary reverse cycle chiller (air-to-water heat pump) produces either hot or cold water to provide quiet performance for your indoor comfort needs. With its sealed refrigerant system and stainless steel pump, installation is quick and easy, maintenance is simple and operation is error-free. Learn more.

    Supply Outlet

    Because the demand for custom heating and cooling applications continues to rise Unico has developed an addition to our outline of a 2.5” outlet. Now the homeowner has even more outlet options to choose from when designing a system that will meet their heating and cooling needs. Learn more.

    Interactive House Tour

    Thanks to Unico, homeowners across the U.S. and beyond are experiencing quiet comfort, lower humidity and uncompromised architecture never before enjoyed with traditional central heating and air conditioning systems. Take a look at some homes that have installed the system in the “Media Section” of the Interactive House Tour to see how well Unico met each project's needs and comfort requirements.
