With the transition to A2L refrigerants, the HVAC&R market is rapidly evolving toward solutions that combine lower GWP with full compliance to current and upcoming regulations. Eco Modine responds to this shift with the new generation of AGS and AGC evaporators, developed as the direct successors to the proven EVS and GCE series. Designed specifically for operation with A2L refrigerants, AGS and AGC retain the robustness and reliability of their predecessors while introducing key enhancements in terms of safety, refrigerant compatibility, and system integration. This new product generation supports engineers, installers, and system integrators in meeting regulatory requirements without compromising performance, efficiency, or design flexibility.

AGS – Slanted A2L Unit Coolers for Optimized Cold Room Space

The transition to low-GWP refrigerants requires refrigeration solutions that are not only environmentally responsible, but also safe, flexible, and space-efficient. The AGS slanted unit coolers, developed by Modine, are specifically designed for A2L refrigerants and applications where space optimization is critical.

Thanks to their slanted design, AGS units ensure efficient air distribution while minimizing the impact on usable cold room volume, making them ideal for commercial cold rooms and refrigerated cabinets.

Safety and A2L compliance

AGS unit coolers are engineered in accordance with EN 378 and the specific requirements of A2L refrigerants:

  • use of reliable, proven components,
  • a dedicated electric defrost system operating below the A2L auto-ignition temperature,
  • reduced refrigerant charge for enhanced system safety.

Key technical features

  • fan diameters: 200, 250, or 315 mm
  • fin spacing options: 3.5/7 – 4.5/9 – 4 or 7 mm
  • 46 configurable models
  • cooling capacity:
    • R1234yf: 0.33 – 7.17 kW
    • R454C: 0.30 – 6.57 kW

Ideal for:

  • refrigerated cabinets and display cases,
  • commercial cold rooms,
  • installations where storage space optimization is essential.

AGC – Cubic A2L Unit Coolers for Commercial Cold Rooms

The AGC cubic unit cooler series is a reliable solution for commercial cold rooms operating with low-GWP A2L refrigerants. The range is designed for long-term performance, high efficiency, and full compliance with current environmental regulations.

AGC units are part of Modine’s comprehensive A2L portfolio and ensure safe operation with refrigerants such as R1234yf and R454C.

A2L-oriented design

  • compliant with EN 378,
  • high-efficiency heat exchangers with aluminum fins and copper tubes,
  • reduced internal volume resulting in a lower refrigerant charge,
  • electric defrost system designed for A2L safety requirements.

Key technical features

  • fan diameters: 250, 315, or 350 mm
  • fin spacing options: 4, 6, or 8 mm
  • 57 configurable models
  • cooling capacity:
    • R1234yf: 0.93 – 15.06 kW
    • R454C: 0.85 – 13.8 kW

Suitable for:

  • commercial cold rooms for fresh and frozen food,
  • new installations and system retrofits,
  • projects requiring efficiency, safety, and F-Gas compliance.
