wall mounted air conditioner: Unico range

Attractive clean design sets Unico models apart

There have been various attempts over the years to provide the market with an installed monoblock wall mounted air conditioner range which not only looks good but also performs quietly, effectively and efficiently. Over the last few years a number of brands have appeared with promise but then fade from the market. During this period the Unico wall mounted air conditioners have always been there and they have steadily improved over the years.

The need for wall mounted air conditioner ranges came into sharp focus as the old style 'window' air conditioners which were the standard easy install cooling fix for small applications fell foul of European efficiency regulations. It was never an ideal replacement as the wall mounted air conditioners were usually more expensive and less powerful than the window air conditioners. But as the old style machines faded from the market the Unico wall mounted air conditioner range got better and became more cost-effective.

There are now 14 different models in the range with outputs from 1.8kw (6143 BTU) to 3.1kw (10580 BTU). Some have inverters which provide for greater efficiency and variety of running speeds - Unico inverters - and some have heat pumps to provide cost-effective heating in cooler months. What they all share is A rated energy efficiency rating and great aesthetic design.

Unico Wall Mounted Air Conditioner Installation

Installation is easy because the complete cooling system is contained within the machine, so that the only link to outside is via two holes though the external wall upon which the unit is mounted. The two holes are core drilled according to a marking/drilling template and then lined with ducts which then have small circular louvers fitted to the outside end of the holes. The whole installation can be completed from inside the building thus enabling easy installation even on floor levels above the ground floor without the worry of scaffolding. The great advantage of these type of machines is that because the is no external unit they can usually be installed without planning permission, even on quite sensitive areas.

Unico Easy. 2.05 kw output (cooling only) or 1.9kw cooling/heating output (heat pump model)

Unico Air 1.8 kw cooling output

Some Unico models are as effective mounted in a high wall position as they are mounted at mid level or low-level

Neat and attractive from on the inside

Unobtrusive on the outside. Only 2 small louvered vents outside and a condensate drain pipe to give it away.

Heat Load	Watts	BTU
Average The Room Is A Normal Residential Room, Office, Reception Area Or Similar, Where There Is Not Overly Crowded With People, Computer And Office Equipment.
Above Average There Are Factors That Contribute To Additional Heat Being Generated In The Room E.G. Strong Lighting, Overcrowding With People And Office Equipment, Conservatory Type Room, Or Flat Roofed Room.
High There Are Factors That Contribute To A High Heat Load In The Room. E.G. Commercial Cooking, Much Computer And Server Equipment, Switchgear, Temporary Building With Thin Walls And Flat Room, Plain Glass Conservatory.

Variable	Units	Notes/Guidance
System Airflow	M3/Hr	If you have it in cfm then multiply your cfm value by 1.7 to get m3/hr
Average Combined Pressure Drop Of Filters Of Higher Than F6 Efficiency	Pascals	F8 bag filters pressure drop - typical clean clean to dirty, 160 - 250 Pascals F9 compact filters pressure drop - typical clean to dirty, 160 - 350 Pascals H10 HEPA filter pressure drop - typical clean to dirty, 250 - 600 Pascals 9.8 Pascals = 1 mm wg, & 249 Pascals = 1 inch wg
Carbon Filters Pressure Drop	Pascals	For compact type carbons pressure drop between 100 - 150 Pa Bonded carbon panels typically 150 - 170 Pa Loose granular carbon panels typically 130 Pa
Annual Operational Hours	Hrs/Annum	8760 hours in a year If operating for 5 days a week, excluding public holidays, for 12 hrs/day = 3000 hrs
Cost Of Power	Pence Per Kwh	Huge variance in what different companies pay. heck your last bill to be sure, otherwise put in 10p
Fan Efficiency	(As Decimal Value, Eg 100%=1)	Would typically be around 60%, so if you don’t have specific information use 0.6
Fan Motor Efficiency	(As Decimal Value, Eg 100%=1)	Larger motors should be around 90%, so if you don’t have specific information use 0.9
