Duct is the conduit, which transfers warm or cool air to and from a mechanical system to a conditioned area. Most ducting is accomplished by conventional methods. For those of you who don't know what this means, I will simplify. These are the rather large metal or fiberglass pipes or boxes, which you may negotiate in your basement, or hit your head on. This conventional method works fine. It has been around a long time and will be around forever. However, there are some situations where these cumbersome ducts will not physically fit. For this, there is HIGH VELOCITY.

The Unico System™ air distribution system using Honeywell™ air cleaner.

High velocity is achieved by using less (much cooler) air at greater pressure for desired conditioning. The ducting is much smaller than used in conventional methods. It has been used since the 1960s. Many people are unaware of this. Unico™ is a company who manufactures these types of air-distribution systems. In my opinion, they are very reliable and a fine piece of equipment. Solid.

These systems can be used pretty much anywhere that a conventional system can be used. They are ideal for Cape-Cod style homes (where you only have a knee wall to install everything), attic cooling systems, and basements (ducting above drop ceilings). It is used a great deal in very old homes and in Historic buildings. Another great thing about them is that the air outlets are very small, which will maintain the visual integrity of the conditioned room.
