High
velocity air conditioning systems, from companies such as
SpacePak, are
ideal for homes with inadequate heating and cooling systems, or for homes
with limited space to run duct work. This type of air conditioning system
uses small 2” insulated flexible tubing to transport high velocity heated or
cooled air to various locations throughout the home. Because the flexible
tubing is only 2” in diameter it can be routed in walls or inconspicuous
locations to enable the interior of the home to maintain its architectural
character. The blower unit can be located in the home’s attic or crawl
space. The actual outlets are approximately 3-4” in diameter and can be
mounted in walls or ceilings.

High
velocity air conditioning systems, such as SpacePak’s products, can be
integrated into your existing home’s heating and cooling system and can
operate in conjunction with an outdoor heat pump. In addition, they can
operate off of standard ARI listed outdoor compressor/condenser units.
One
concern with high velocity air conditioning systems is the threat of noisy
air flow due to the fact that the air is traveling through the tubing at a
high velocity.
|
Manufacturers of high velocity
air conditioning systems, however, have addressed this issue by insulating the
tubing for both condensation and noise concerns. As a matter of fact, two of the
key advantages of high velocity air conditioning systems are that they are ultra
quiet and provide draftless comfort.

High
velocity air conditioning systems also have a couple of options that allow
greater control and safety in the home. Some systems offer zone controls so
that you can heat and cool specific areas of a home. Another option helps to
purify the air as it circulates throughout the home. In addition, the
flexible tubing is designed to be mold and mildew resistant.
Another
unique feature of high velocity air conditioning systems is that they can
remove more moisture from the air than conventional air conditioning systems
without having to lower the thermostat. The results are a more comfortable
room temperature, and lower energy bills.
So if
you’re home is in need of improved heating and cooling, or if you are
building a new home that has large open spaces or vaulted ceilings, look
into a high velocity air conditioning system. They are ideal for retrofit
applications, and can work in conjunction with, or in lieu of existing
conventional HVAC systems.
