Indoor unit type Duct selection

When ducted units are selected as indoor units for the system, one must consider 2 interconnected
features of the unit: air flow and ESP1. To select air flow, please push the drop down button select
manualinput your demand for air flow in CMM 2 (or CFM, or CMH, or LPS) and select an
appropriated value for ESP (to know availability of ESP, please consult PDB 3)
