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.

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.
