Modine HVAC - Experts & Thought Leaders

Modine, the diversified pioneer in innovative thermal management technology, announces the launch of the DSU destratification fan, a standard-setting solution for combatting air stratification in manufacturing centers and other industrial settings. The DSU is designed to evenly redistribute heat during the winter and to enhance ventilation during the summer, promoting healthier airflow for warehouses, factories and other large indoor facilities. Industrial-grade construction, including 18-gauge steel, ensures ruggedness and durability across even the harshest environments. Industrial and commercial settings “Consistent circulation promotes a safer, healthier and more welcoming environment, ensuring productivity in industrial and commercial settings,” said Richard Boothman, director of North American sales for Modine. “We designed the DSU with these goals in mind, while also engineering it for flexibility, ease of use and minimal disruption.” Fan’s efficacy DSU’s ability to move air comes from a high-efficiency EC motor—calibrated to ensure steady speed control The DSU’s ability to move air comes from a high-efficiency EC motor—calibrated to ensure continuous speed control and enabling an industry-pioneering axial airflow of 6,500 CFM. The fan’s efficacy is matched by its unobtrusive operation; even at maximum power, the DSU generates only 71 dBA, offering best-in-class sound quality. Additional features of the DSU Zoning functionality: A single controller enables the control of up to 10 total units, allowing facilities managers to tailor their fan’s performance to the facility’s layout. Flexible fit: Two compact size options provide variable configurations, allowing the DSU to fit into many different spaces without any loss of performance. Simple installation: Chain suspension and rod mount options are both available, making it straightforward to get this unit into operation. Level of air circulation “The DSU raises the bar for destratification, providing a level of air circulation that no other product in its class can match, but pairing it with a non-disruptive operation and notable energy savings,” said Boothman. “We built this fan for reliable, all-season use, and are proud to have a product that provides industrial and commercial clients with the functionality they need to keep their facilities comfortable.”

Modine Coatings, a pioneer in protective coatings, is proud to introduce its groundbreaking EFIN℠ Data Shield™ Program—the only solution offering a 10-year warranty for protective coatings of data center equipment. This innovative program safeguards critical data center equipment from corrosion, enhances system efficiency, and helps avoid costly unplanned downtime, setting a new industry standard for reliability and performance. New program's warranty Modine Coatings is bringing its trusted anti-corrosion technology to the data center industry With over 50 years’ experience in protective coatings, Modine Coatings is bringing its trusted anti-corrosion technology to the data center industry. The new program's unprecedented 10-year warranty—double the standard warranty in the industry—offers data centers the peace of mind they need to operate at peak performance. Needs of modern data centers “The EFIN℠ Data Shield™ Program is designed to protect essential infrastructure with multiple layers of cutting-edge technology,” said Peter J. D'Ambrosio, Director of Sales at Modine Coatings. “Our unique, three-layer system delivers superior protection against corrosion, UV exposure, and environmental challenges—ensuring longevity and efficiency. This comprehensive solution is engineered to meet the demanding needs of modern data centers.” Demands of data center operators Modine Coatings has a longstanding reputation for giving high-quality to the HVAC industry Data centers, which are critical to the global economy, rely on specialized cooling systems to maintain optimal temperatures and prevent equipment failures. Modine Coatings has a longstanding reputation for delivering high-quality, anti-corrosion coatings to the HVAC industry, and its new product is tailored to meet the stringent demands of data center operators. Standout features of Data Shield™ “The key word for data centers is reliability. Our coatings help ensure that the cooling systems in these environments remain robust and operational, preventing costly downtime that could have significant financial implications,” added D'Ambrosio. One of the standout features of Data Shield™ is its extended 10-year warranty, a significant improvement over the standard 5-year warranty typically provided for HVAC coatings. This enhanced protection is made possible by a specialized coating process that adds an extra layer of reliability to the heat exchangers, or coils, found in chillers used in data center cooling systems. Three layers of protection “Corrosion can lead to premature failure of key components, but with Data Shield™, we are offering three layers of protection—TCP, ElectroFin® E-coat, and a UV topcoat,” D'Ambrosio explained. “This advanced technology not only extends the life of the equipment but also enhances its operational performance over time, which is crucial for data center managers who cannot afford downtime.” Demand for cloud computing The product’s introduction comes at a time when the data center market is growing rapidly The product’s introduction comes at a time when the data center market is growing rapidly. As the demand for cloud computing and data storage continues to increase, so does the need for reliable infrastructure. Modine’s coatings provide data center operators with a valuable tool to help mitigate risks associated with environmental corrosion and material outgassing, which can damage cooling components. “While corrosion risks are often associated with environments near saltwater, we recognize that new construction materials can also introduce risks. Our coatings are designed to withstand these challenges, ensuring long-term reliability,” D'Ambrosio added. EFIN℠ Data Shield™ Program at a Glance Multi-Layer Protection: Combines ElectroFin® E-coat, TCP coating, and a UV topcoat to provide unrivaled corrosion resistance and protection against harsh environments. 10-Year Warranty: Modine is the only provider to offer an extended 10-year warranty, delivering peace of mind and reducing the risk of failure. Certified Applicator Network: Ensures optimal application of the Insitu ®Clear Spray Applied Coating through a network of certified professionals, backed by a 5-year warranty on components and cabinetry. Energy Efficiency & Performance: Helps improve Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and system reliability, lowering maintenance costs while extending equipment life. Branding Opportunities: Coils can be coated in custom colors, providing OEMs with a unique branding option. Durability for coastal and extreme environments: Offering unmatched resistance for aluminum substrates, a high corrosion risk in challenging conditions.
