A vertical stack fan coil unit is one of the simplest methods to heat and cool. The basic fan coil system consists of an air coil and a motor-blower assembly.
Whether the unit is in a horizontal configuration or a vertical stacked configuration, the basic operation of the unit is the same: By passing air from the occupied space across the air coil, heat is added to or removed from the air stream as it is supplied back to the occupied space.
