    These include an electric duct heater, multiple return plenum, and a vertical plenum stand. Please refer to the latest Unico Catalog for information on these and other options Locate the air handler to minimize the number of plenum elbows and fittings while keeping the supply duct runs as short as possible.

The Unico Return Duct system has a single return that includes the return air box with filter, the return duct, and the return air adapter (refer to Fig. 3). Multiple returns or extra-long returns are possible so long as the maximum pressure loss is not exceeded.

    Multiple Returns. If more than one return is desired, add a float switch or a micro switch with a paper fuse. Unico has designed a return plenum (MR) module. The MR module is available in three sizes: 2430, 3036, Refrigerant Connections. All refrigerant coils have and 3642/4860, and it includes a central filter.
