Unico Evo-F 16 HP PVA through-the-wall air conditioner with a small R290 charge
At a glance
With appliances that run on propane (R290), the amount of refrigerant often decides how large the room must be at least. The Unico Evo-F 16 HP PVA holds 0.145 kg, thanks to a cooling circuit with heat exchanger tubes of 5 mm. That is below the limit of 152 grams, so according to the manufacturer the unit may be placed in any room, with no floor area requirement.
How you use it
This is an inverter-controlled air-to-air heat pump in a single cabinet. It cools with a nominal 1.6 kW and heats with 1.5 kW, regulating between 1.0 and 2.1 kW, in energy class A for both and with a COP of 3.3. That makes it a unit for rooms with a limited cooling demand where no outdoor unit can be placed, and since no minimum floor area applies, that can be a small room too. It cools, heats, dehumidifies and ventilates, and you operate it on the backlit display with touch keys. The indoor sound pressure is 27 to 42 dB(A). An electrostatic filter catches dust and a wide outlet flap spreads the air. A volt-free contact and an RS485 port (Modbus RTU) allow external control. The black band on the front is made of plastic recovered from discarded products, and the packaging is fully recyclable and 98 per cent plastic-free. For the installer, the internal layout is arranged for easy maintenance.

Before you buy
- A condensate drain is always mandatory on this model, even if it is used for cooling only.
- Two wall openings are needed. The grilles are made for holes of 202 mm; existing 162 mm holes from an older Unico can be used.
- Leave the installation to an installer. Drilling, the condensate drain and the electrical connection are specialist work.
