The System
Small Duct High Velocity (SDHV) Heating & Cooling
· SpacePak delivers uniform, year-round comfort, with fewer of the unwanted
challenges common to other central heating and air-conditioning systems.
Making sure there are:
· No Major Renovations · No Loss of Usable Floor Space · No High Energy Bills
· No Unsightly Components
· Simply quiet, cost-effective comfort for virtually any home or building,
regardless of the structure’s design, age, size, or construction type.
· SpacePak is an air distribution system which uses a principle known as
aspiration – as the air stream enters the room, it creates a gentle mixing of
air in the room to provide thorough, comfortable draft-free air circulation.
· SpacePak eliminates stratification with a minimum floor-to-ceiling
temperature difference.

Principles Of Operation
Uniform, Draft-Free Comfort
· The SDHV air distribution system utilizes a principle known as aspiration.
· As the air stream enters the room, it gently and continuously mixes air to
provide uniform, draft-free air circulation.
· Eliminates stratification with a less than 2°F floor-to-ceiling temperature
differential.
31
Principles Of Operation
Conventional Air Distribution
· Diffusion, throw, & return · Conventional units generally need
individual returns for every room · Needs complete air change · Works for and
is generally designed
for heating or cooling applications. NOT BOTH.

RETURN
Locate and Roughing in the Return
· Central Location (Hallway/Foyer) · All Equipment Can Fit through the

Return Air for the System · Do Not “Skimp” On Return. You cannot have too
much.

· Air Mixing vs. Air Change · Less Return Air Volume · Cooling And Heating By
Temperature,
Not Volume · One Central Return Is Sufficient · Multiple Returns Are Okay ·
Smaller Return Air Duct Than
Conventional · You can never have too much return
air!!!!
70
RETURN
Return Basics
· Size Return in each location for less than 500 FPM (similar to conventional)
· Size Return in each location for a total -.25″ static or less including the
filter · Install at least One 90-degree elbow (this will aid in the abatement
of unwanted noise) · Return Box must be lined with sound attenuation material
(also for noise abatement) · Size transfer grills for the CFM and Free Area
(use standard duct sizing chart)
Note: If return creates to much “suction” over -.5″wc this suggests the lack
of return air and creates the potential to cause issues with proper condensate
draining resulting in faults or water damage.

RETROFIT
RETROFIT CONCIDERATIONS!
· Just because a 2-, 3- or 5-ton unit was installed DOES NOT mean the same
unit can go back in without looking at the existing system, its layout and
available CFM’s
· IT IS STILL GOOD TO DO A LOAD CALCULATION. Many times, if a system has been
installed for many years there may have been considerable efficiency
improvements to the home. Ex.(the house may no longer require 5 tons of
cooling due to window, roof and insulation upgrades)
· Count the total existing supply terminations · If the blower in the existing
system runs (even if the condenser does not) turn it on and take CFM readings
at ALL outlets. Confirm
total available CFMs are equal or greater than the amount required for the new
system. (220-250 CFM PER TON) · Verify, when possible, the main trunk “inside”
diameter and overall length · If the evaluation of the existing system reveals
anything that may lead to the new system not operating properly without
improvements, please note the specifics on your installation proposal.

Best Length of Duct Run
· Best length to balance the outlets run: 9 to 15 feet (with attenuator) ·
Shorter than 9 feet work with duct orifice balancers · Longer runs work if
more runs are added to make up for the CFM lost · 10% rule (after 15′ of
supply run you lose 10% for every additional 5′) Loss of CFM and BTU’s · CFMs
directly affect the amount of Btu’s delivered

DON’T DO THESE · Place in traffic patterns (room ceiling & floor corners, and
behind door swings are ideal) · where it will blow on someone (air can travel
15+ Feet) · where it will blow on something that will move (example; curtains)
· Never block an outlet (reduction of airflow can reduce system performance) ·
Have at least 6 inches from the center of an outlet to a wall
· If an outlet is mounted in the floor, a ¼” screen can be used to prevent the
introduction of foreign objects into the system.
· Ceiling, sidewall, or floor are all ok! Aspiration will work anywhere!!!

· Our Largest Load is the Heating Load of 45,700 BTUH ÷ 3000 = 15.2 outlets.
· The unit we would use is an ESP-3642JH4MB DX FAN COIL combined with a 2.5ton
Condenser, add an AC-WPAK-90 Hydronic Coil requiring 16 Outlets we have 19 so
your good to go !

layout with at centrally
located return, this system
would need no “extra
balancing” based on our load
÷
calculations and duct design
chosen.
Note: Since this is a heating and cooling system resulting in being slightly
oversized for one setting you can use the variable speed blower to ensure the
air flow match and btu delivery without the concern of unwanted N noise.

4” Hole Saw
When installing in a standard sheetrock ceiling be sure to use a 4″ hole saw
other ceiling and floor material may require a slightly different installation
processes.

Installation of termination plate and mounting clips
· The sound attenuator is usually attached to the termination plate at this
time · Altering the clips or hole size may be required in some applications
for proper fastening as different installations may
require adjustments – this is all considered ok as long as you are not
restricting air flow (should not have any effect on system performance)

APPLICATION
Hallway Installation
· Notice the best place for outlet termination is in the center of the hall
· Rough-in plates were used in this installation to ensure proper locations of
the supply terminations
144
Showing horizontal wall terminations
145
This installation shows ceiling terminations. 9 – 10 runs per ton were used in
this installation to ensure that air noise would not be an issue due to the
lack of natural sound deadening material (full carpets, low ceilings, etc.).
146
This install used exterior wall terminations, the main trunk was actually
rectangle and located in the floor. The supplies were run up the outside walls
between the windows and out creating a thermal curtain. This rooms cooling
load was 42kbtu.
147
This install shows the use of no
termination plates, the cabinet
maker made holes and the
contractor attached to the back
of the top plate. Notice the slight
angle to the top plate this will
allow the air to travel under the
timbers and across the room.

APPLICATION
Spot Conditioning
Great for · areas where it would be financially
exhausting to condition the entire space · kitchen prep lines · Assembly lines
· Gives a great commercial look · You can run fewer outlets per ton due
to the loss of restriction applied by the normally installed supply tubing ·
Generally, 4-5 outlets per ton will work here

ZONING
Zoning Basics
· When zoning with SpacePak a staged or fully inverter condenser MUST be used.
· In a multi zone system the smallest zone must be of the same size or larger
output
then the lowest turned down capacity of the compressor being used (ex: if the
inverter condenser turns down to 12kbtu then the smallest zone on the system
must be capable of handling that capacity 1-Ton) · When using multiple zones,
the controls on the J-Series air handler will allow you to match the air flow
to the specific needs of the system. · During zoned system installation and
layout be sure to follow all duct design rules. · DO NOT UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES USE AN AIR BYPASS OF AN CONFIGURATION IN ANY SPACEPAK SYSTEM!
