unico with hot water coil

David_5

I put one in my home on the first floor. The AHU is in the basement. I have never had a problem with the outlets getting to hot. I do have two rooms that have opposite needs for cooling and heating. In my living room I plug two out of four outlets for cooling. In my sun room I do the opposite. I wired the blower to come on in heat with a time delay relay, no aquastat. If you want, another way is use the aquastat in series with a time delay relay coil to prevent cold air on start-up. I have noticed the supply air temp is still pretty warm even if the water temp is 140. We have used a bypass humidifier on Unico and installed restrictors to reduce airflow. I know Unico doesn't like it, but I think bypass types are simple and reliable. Your customer will be happy when your done.

will it be an attic system?

If so, depending on the height, you may need to raise the boiler pressure to keep the coil full of air. According to the manual, you can get some really hot air out of these systems. They recommend not installing floor registers to prevent someone from getting burned under certain conditions.
