Modine Releases Atherion D Commercial Rooftop Unit

Modine Mfg. Co. introduced its Atherion D cabinet, an HVAC commercial rooftop unit with up to 60-ton capacity.

Expanding on the success of the Atherion B and C cabinets, the Atherion D cabinet greatly expands Modine’s offering by doubling the cooling capacity and nearly tripling the gas heating capacity.

“When it comes to HVAC unit cost-effectiveness, bigger is almost always better,” said Kimberly Raduenz, marketing communications manager for Modine. “A larger unit, like the 60-ton Atherion D cabinet, makes more financial sense than multiple smaller units when the building or application can handle the larger unit.”

The Atherion D cabinet comes with top-mounted PF™ Aluminum Microchannel condenser coils with electronically commutated condenser fan motors and right- and left-side access doors for ease of blower, filter, damper, and heat section maintenance.

The 30- and 40-ton units are available now, and the 52- and 60-ton units will be available in early 2018.
