The Basics of a SpacePak Central Air System
The SpacePak system has been designed to reduce installation time and cost for installing contractors. Small diameter, flexible tubing weaves around construction obstacles and eliminates the need for large, cumbersome ductwork and major structural renovations. Fittings simply snap securely into place with no tools required.
While every installation is configured specially to the individual home's unique requirements, fundamentally the SpacePak system consists of the following components as labeled in the diagram below. Each one is briefly described below.
A) Outlets: How the conditioned air enters the living space. These 5" diameter outlets (the size of a music CD; much smaller than conventional register grilles) can be placed in the ceiling, wall, or floor.
B) Sound Attenuators: Short lengths of flexible, baffled tubing. These tubes greatly reduce the audible sounds produced in the air movement process.
C) Kwik Connects: A no-tools-required system that quickly and easily joins the flexible ducts to sound attenuators and the plenum. Kwik Connects virtually eliminate leakage, improving efficiency, and greatly reduce install time.
D) Flexible Supply Tubing: These flexible, narrow, tubular ducts enable SpacePak to bring central air throughout the house within the normal space between walls, ceilings, or floors: no extensive renovation work is required. The number of ducts would be based on the size of the fan coil unit.
E) Plenum: Carries air to the different ducts which distribute it throughout the house. The plenum fits within the attic, basement, or crawl space where the fan coil unit is installed.
F) Fan Coil Unit: The fan distributes air through the plenum; the coils cool (or heat and cool) the air, depending on individual needs and system configuration. Connects to external condenser for cooling; SpacePak is compatible with most condenser brands.
G) Return Duct: The central heating or cooling system contains a blower that gets its air supply through this duct. The air from a room will move towards the lower pressure of the return duct. The duct also contains the properties of sound attenuation and is insulated.
H) Return Air Box: This is the sheet metal box that mounts directly to the return air grill. This allows the mating of the return duct to the grill.
PurePak Air Cleaner (optional): A patented design that replaces the standard return air box. While 4–6" pleated filters are not effective at removing contaminants smaller than three microns (such as bacteria, auto exhaust, cooking smoke, dust, or paint pigments), PurePak captures contaminants as small as 0.3 microns with 97% effectiveness.
