Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems
Our DOAS units deliver precise outdoor air conditioning with dual energy recovery systems. These all-electric units achieve ISMRE 11.1 efficiency by combining total energy recovery wheels with modulating hot gas reheat. Designed for commercial buildings requiring strict humidity control, they maintain 50% relative humidity at 70-72F supply air. The modular design allows installation in spaces with limited access while meeting ASHRAE 90.1 standards.
Energy Recovery Units
Energy recovery units integrate thermal wheels and plate heat exchangers to capture 80%+ of exhaust air energy. Available in 3,000-21,000 CFM capacities, these systems reduce HVAC loads by pre-conditioning outdoor air before mechanical cooling. The variable capacity compressors and ECM fans adjust to maintain neutral air delivery while lowering energy consumption. Ideal for applications requiring continuous outdoor air ventilation with minimal operating costs.
Temporary Cooling Units
Temporary cooling units provide rapid climate control for construction sites and emergency HVAC failures. The PACH series includes trailer-mounted 25-30 ton systems with 60kW electric heat and skid-mounted 12-ton units that fit through standard doorways. These NEMA-rated systems operate in temperatures from 0F to 120F with R-454B refrigerant. Designed for durability, they feature powder-coated steel cabinets and 8-inch casters for easy mobility across job sites.
Modular HVAC Installations
Modular HVAC systems ship in pre-assembled sections that connect on-site without field brazing. The 34.5-inch cube design allows vertical or horizontal configurations to fit above drop ceilings or in mechanical rooms. Each module includes quick-connect refrigerant fittings and BACnet controls for seamless integration. This approach reduces installation time by 40% compared to traditional systems while maintaining full factory performance ratings.
Water-Cooled Systems
Water-cooled systems use coaxial condensers to achieve 10.1 EER ratings in packaged and split-system configurations. Available in 3-15 ton sizes, these units connect to central chilled water systems or operate as standalone heat pumps. The stainless steel drain pans and MERV 13 filters maintain indoor air quality while the digital scroll compressors adjust capacity in 1% increments. Ideal for high-rise buildings where outdoor air access is limited.
Questions
What makes United CoolAir systems different from traditional HVAC?
Our modular design fits through standard doorways without field brazing, reducing installation time and costs by up to 40% compared to traditional systems.
Can these systems handle historical building renovations?
Yes, 98% of our units install without structural modifications, making them ideal for historical buildings where knocking down walls isn't an option.
How do the energy recovery systems work?
Dual energy recovery wheels and sub-cooling coils capture 80%+ of exhaust air energy to pre-condition outdoor air before mechanical cooling begins.
Are temporary cooling units available for rent?
Yes, we offer trailer-mounted PACH25-30 units with 60kW electric heat for short-term climate control needs during construction or system maintenance.
What refrigerants do you use?
All new systems use R-454B low GWP refrigerant, which has 67% lower global warming potential compared to traditional R-410A refrigerants.
Do you offer custom configurations?
Our modular cube design allows field configuration into vertical/horizontal orientations with multiple cabinet sections connected as needed for each application.

I work in the transportation industry and tried to speak to someone at United CoolAir about getting added on as a transportation provided but got hung up on twice. Not sure what there customer service is like from consumers but if its anything like the way i was treated business to business then it cant be good.

Great product. Perfect for retrofit and replacement and their Therm-Air portable line is the best you can get.
