Required quarterly cleaning and chloride removal of Modine coated equipment (coil and cabinet 
surfaces) 

Quarterly cleaning is required to maintain warranty coverage and is essential to maintain the life of a Modine coated 

coil and cabinet. Coil and cabinet cleaning shall be part of the unit's regularly scheduled maintenance procedures. 
Failure to clean a Modine coated coil or cabinet on the prescribed quarterly cycle will void the warranty and may result 
in reduced efficiency and durability in the environment.

 

A

 routine 

two-step 

quarterly coil cleaning

 is required to maintain warranty. Step one is to

 clean the coil with the 

below approved coil cleaner (see approved products list under the "Recommended Coil Cleaners” section. 

Step 

two is to

 use the approved 

salt/

chloride remover under the "Recommended Chloride Remover” section to 

dissolve

 

soluble salts and revitalize the unit. It is very important when cleaning and/or rinsing not to exceed 130

O

F and 

potable water pressure is less than 100 psig to avoid damaging the unit and coil fin edges. 

For routine quarterly cabinet cleaning, first clean the cabinet using a rag or sponge with a mild dish soap such as 
Dawn to remove dirt and/or contaminants. Once the cabinet surfaces have been cleaned, a thorough rinse should 
be completed. After the cabinet has been cleaned, use the approved chloride remover under the "Recommended 
Chloride Remover” section to remove soluble salts and revitalize the units cabinetry. This is then followed by a 
thorough water rinse. It is very important when cleaning and/or rinsing not to exceed 130

O

F and potable water 

pressure is less than 100 psig to avoid  damaging the unit.

 

Recommended Coil Cleaners

 

The following coil cleaners, assuming it is used in accordance with the manufacturer's directions on the container 
for proper mixing and cleaning, have been approved for use on Modine coated coils to remove mold, mildew, dust, 
soot, greasy residue, lint and other particulate. Never use any cleaners that are not approved.

Harsh Chemical and Acid Cleaners 

Harsh chemicals, household bleach or acid cleaners should not be used to clean outdoor or indoor Modine coated coils and/or 
cabinets. These cleaners can be very difficult to rinse out of the coil and can accelerate the corrosion attack of the coil.

High Velocity Water or Compressed Air 

High velocity water from a pressure washer or compressed air should only be used at a very low pressure, (< 100 psi), to prevent fin 
and/or coil damages. The force of the water or air jet may bend the fin edges and increase airside pressure drop. Reduced unit 
performance or nuisance unit shutdowns may occur.
