How It Functions.
Also known as “mini-duct” systems, high-velocity air-conditioning generally makes use of an outdoor compressor to cool the air, combined with a high-pressure blower normally mounted in the attic.
Instead of bulky metal ductwork, this technology, developed by SpacePak, makes use of flexible tubing only 2 inches in diameter. The insulated tubes can be threaded behind walls or inside closets without damaging sheetrock or plaster. This makes the system much quieter than air-conditioning with conventional metal ductwork.
A mini-duct system also dehumidifies the air more effectively. The high-pressure blower compresses the air and allows it to be in contact with the cooling coils longer, which decreases the temperature and eliminates more humidity.

In fact, “high-velocity” and mini-duct” systems are simply different names for the same type of super-efficient and comfortable central air-conditioning systems. These systems are extremely quiet, disperse the cool air uniformly throughout your house, and dehumidify extremely effectively.
The words “high velocity” and “pressure” might make you think these systems are noisy. In fact, you can barely hear them running, and there is no air flow sound at the tiny outlets.
In two-story houses, the mini-ducts are run down from the attic through the corners of the closets or inside walls to the first floor. In a single-story residence, the whole system is located in the attic with outlets in the ceiling below.
SpacePaks mini-duct systems make use of ordinary, high-efficiency, outdoor air-conditioning compressor units. With this mini-duct system, cool air blows out from small two-inch openings in the ceiling or high up on the walls. You can barely notice the outlets when they are painted the same color as the room. For a decorative appearance, natural wood outlets are available.
