Unico Next-F 8 HP PVA through-the-wall air conditioner on R290
At a glance
The Unico Next-F 8 HP PVA is the lowest-capacity version on the Unico Next product sheet: a nominal 1.6 kW of cooling and 1.5 kW of heating. An inverter modulates the output between 1.0 and 2.1 kW. Everything sits in one cabinet on the inside of the outer wall, and outside only two openings are visible.
How you use it
The unit is meant for rooms with a modest cooling and heating demand, in homes and buildings where an outdoor unit is not possible. Olimpia Splendid designed a cooling circuit with thin heat exchanger tubes of 5 mm for this model, so 0.145 kg of R290 is enough. Because that charge stays under 152 grams, the manufacturer sets no requirement for the size of the room. You get four functions (cooling, heating, dehumidifying and ventilating) plus an Auto setting, operated on a backlit touch display. The indoor fan has three speeds and moves 195 to 380 m³ of air per hour. The energy class is A in both modes, with an EER of 2.6 and a COP of 3.3. According to the manufacturer the heat pump can replace or support the regular heating in the in-between seasons; the heating range extends down to an outdoor temperature of -15 °C. An electrostatic dust filter, an on/off contact for enable or energy boost and an RS485 port for Modbus RTU are fitted. The front band is black plastic recycled entirely from used products.
