With Hi-Velocity Systems, It’s Not Just A Dream. It’s Reality.

What are Hi-Velocity Systems?

The Hi-Velocity System is an energy efficient high pressure air delivery system that can be designed to provide heating, cooling, filtration, ventilation, humidification and dehumidification. The Hi-Velocity System works on the principle of pressure rather than air velocity. It is quite different than a conventional furnace, the main difference being that the supply duct work is all "small diameter" or "mini duct".

With a pressurized small diameter duct we condition the air differently than conventional forced air systems. With the use of a high pressure area to low pressure area, we continuously mix the room air, creating even temperatures from floor to ceiling. Because the plenum duct is pressurized, dust build-up within the duct work is eliminated. With continuous air circulation from the constant fan, airborne dust and other allergens can be easily filtered out of the air.

Our innovative fan coil and unique cooling module technology helps create a healthier and more enjoyable indoor living environment for the end-user, while saving money on monthly operating costs. The Hi-Velocity System can remove up to 30% more moisture from the air than conventional systems, leaving a constant and comfortable temperature on the skin surface.

FAQ's of the Hi-Velocity System

How does the Hi-Velocity System work?

The Hi-Velocity System is a mini duct system. Pressure is created in the supply ducts and converted to velocity at the outlets utilizing the Venturi Effect. This creates equal air flow to all the outlets and results in unmatched air delivery creating a draft free environment eliminating hot and cold spots.

What types of applications can the Hi-Velocity System work in?

The Hi-Velocity System is ideal for residential, multi-family, retrofit and commercial applications.

How does the Hi-Velocity System address Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)?

The Hi-Velocity System can provide humidification, dehumidification, introduce fresh air and be used with high efficiency air filters.

Can the Hi-Velocity System provide heating and cooling?

The Hi-Velocity System a complete home comfort system, which can be used for heating, cooling or a combination of both.

How does the Hi-Velocity System compare to a conventional forced air system?

The Hi-Velocity System utilizes the Venturi Effect to eliminate the hot and cold spots which are normally associated with conventional systems and creates even temperatures throughout the home. This benefit is enhanced in homes with high cathedral ceilings. From an installation standpoint designing duct layouts is substantially easier because vent outlets no longer need to be located on outside walls.

Can the Hi-Velocity System work with my existing air ducts?

The Hi-Velocity System is designed to use small diameter ducts and will not operate correctly with larger duct systems.

What kind of sound levels can I expect from the Hi-Velocity System?

When designed and installed correctly the noise level on the Hi-Velocity System is equal or less than a conventional system.

Where is the best location for the Hi-Velocity System?

The flexibility of the Hi-Velocity System allows the air handler to be located in attics, basements, crawl spaces and closets.

Where are the best locations for placing outlets?

The outlets can be located in the floor, wall or ceiling, all three locations are equally effective.

Are different styles of vent plates available?

Vent plates are available in many different types of compositions, plastic, metal, and wood which can be finished to match their surroundings.

What size of Hi-Velocity System do I require?

It is recommended that an accurate room to room heat loss/gain is performed on the structure to ensure the correct size of unit is selected.

What options are available for heating?

Boilers, dual purpose hot water heaters, heat pumps, and geothermal systems can all be used as heat sources. We also manufacture a slide in electric module for the system.

What options are available for cooling?

Condensing units, chillers, heat pumps and geothermal systems can be used as cooling sources.

Can additional components such as humidifiers and HRV/ERV’s be added?

Various types of humidifiers and HRV/ERV’s can be easily added to the unit.

What types of filters can be used on the Hi-Velocity System?

Most filters on the market today can be matched to the units, including media filters, electronic filters and HEPA filters.
