Achieving UL60335 certification positions
technology and indoor air quality leader to help partners comply
with new refrigerant safety standard.
RACINE,
Wis., March 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Modine
(NYSE: MOD), a technology and indoor air quality leader in the HVAC
industry, is dedicated to maintaining the highest level of product
safety and certification. In furtherance of that mission, the IAQ
leader recently announced that several of its HVAC products for the
K-12 market are now UL60335 certified.
The proactive shift was made to stay ahead of new regulations
that will go into effect after Jan. 1,
2025. At that point, all new products and changes to
products will need to be certified under UL60335 for new
construction. Additionally, any equipment using A2L refrigerants
can only be certified under UL60335.
"At Modine, we strive to maintain strict standards of safety,
quality, and sustainability for our products," said Joe Ellison, General Manager, Schools for the
IAQ division at Modine. "By having our products tested and
certified to the highest standards of safety, we are ensuring we
stay compliant with regulations and meet the industry demand.
Achieving UL60335 compliance now also prepares us to incorporate
A2L refrigerants across our school product line, a step that
prepares us for new regulations set by the American Innovation in
Manufacturing Act and furthers Modine's mission of using
environmentally friendly refrigerants."
Modine has several products that are UL60335 certified,
including:
- Airedale ClassMate® and SchoolMate® Unit Ventilators:
These single-packaged ventilation units are air-sourced or
water-source heat pumps that come with optional energy recovery and
dehumidification controls. For customers looking to upgrade or
renovate their existing buildings, these products provide a
cost-effective solution for incorporating heat pump technology
while improving classroom indoor air quality.
- Airedale Sentinel® Vertical Unit Ventilator: This
solution is great for schools that need to improve the IAQ of their
classrooms. It operates in conjunction with a school's central
chiller or boiler plant. The unit provides the proper amount of
fresh air ventilation while also minimizing energy
consumption.
- Airedale Ductless Mini-Split Ceiling Cassette: This
solution provides the flexibility of cooling, heating or both. As a
hydronic alternative to variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems,
these ductless-split units are designed to work efficiently with
MERV 10 filters without losing any pressure drop. The mini-split
ceiling cassette is available with HW coils or electric heat. With
quiet operation above suspended ceilings, the cassettes are ideal
for classrooms, offices, laboratories or any environment where
space is at a premium and low noise is essential.
- Airedale Varsity®/Valedictorian®: This drop-in solution
eliminates cross-contamination of air between classrooms versus
ducted applications. The full economizer mode allows customers to
enjoy free outside air cooling during favorable seasons.
"Providing excellent IAQ remains a top priority for us, and
having solutions that already meet the upcoming standards is
beneficial to both contractors and end users," Ellison said. "While
most changes to meet UL60335 certification will go unnoticed by the
end user, these updates to our equipment help ensure the highest
level of safety for our products while also positioning us to
improve and expand our current product lines."
