As part of Modine’s commitment to providing the best commercial HVAC solutions, it has partnered with Global Plasma Solutions to offer a state-of-the-art GPS’ patented needlepoint bi-polar ionization (NPBI™) technology, compatible with major school products, to help ensure the highest quality classroom IAQ.
The systems can be installed in existing Modine school products, offering facility managers another tool for keeping students safe. The needlepoint bi-polar ionization system is auto-cleaning, with the capacity to handle up to 2,400 CFM.
Pathogen reduction
The patented technology eliminates airborne pathogens and particulates to provide safe and healthy air. Tests conducted by a third party under controlled circumstances, in a laboratory environment, indicate the bipolar ionization system can reduce the presence of pathogens in the air:
- Norovirus, 93.5%
- Human coronavirus, 90%
- Legionella, 99.7%
- Clostridium difficile, 86.8%
The NPBI ™ offers multiple mounting options. Its carbon fiber and composite construction are designed for durability. Other benefits include energy savings, reduced pressure loss, odor control, particle reduction, and smoke control.
Compatible with Modine Products
Modine launched the new ionization retrofit kit for the school products install base on Sept. 1, 2020, and a factory-installed option will be available soon. It will work with top-of-the-line school HVAC products including:
- Airedale ClassMate® DX Cooling and Heat Pump
- Airedale SchoolMate® Water/Ground Source Heat Pump
- Airedale Sentinel® Vertical Unit Ventilator
- Horizontal and Vertical Unit Ventilators
Airedale ClassMate® model DX
Modine is proud to offer a selection of HVAC systems designed to meet the needs of any school facility or classroom. The Airedale ClassMate® model DX cooling and heat pumps are engineered for unobtrusive operation in the classroom while providing maximum energy efficiency.
With a small footprint, the ClassMate® has been intentionally designed to be the quietest single packaged product of its type. Using advanced blower and compressor technologies and a sound-deadening compressor acoustic wrap reduces operating noises to a minimum.
