INSTALLER’S & OWNER’S MANUAL

HVAC INSTALLER: PLEASE LEAVE MANUAL FOR HOMEOWNER

Dehumidification

 

The Ultra-Aire SD12 is a split system dehumidifier that removes over 
180 pints of water a day while adding no sensible heat load to the 
living space.  The dehumidifying unit is located inside the house and 
the condensing coil is located outside.  The two-piece design allows 
the sensible heat load generated from dehumidifying the house to be 
released in the outside condensing unit, thus eliminating additional 
cooling load and reducing air conditioner run time.

Sensible Cooling

The Ultra-Aire SD12 provides approximately 1/3 ton sensible 
cooling to the living space, allowing for first stage cooling and 
moisture removal. The HVAC system can be used as a second stage 
and be thermostatically set to a higher temperature to provide 
additional cooling if needed. By eliminating the HVAC system’s need 
to control latent load, the Ultra-Aire SD12 allows the system to work 
more efficiently.

Fresh Air Ventilation 

Optional fresh outdoor air may be ducted to the unit via a six inch 
round duct. This provides fresh air to dilute pollutants and replenish 
oxygen content in the building. The amount of fresh air ventilation 
can be regulated by a variety of dampers and controls.

Air Filtration

The Ultra-Aire SD12 includes air filtration to improve indoor air 
quality. A MERV-11 media filter is standard. An optional external  
filter box with a MERV-14 deep pleated 95% media filter is  
available for optimum air filtration and to reduce potentially  
harmful airborne particles.
