SCW Series

Ductless Ceiling Cassette

The Modine Ductless Ceiling Cassette offers an elegant, high-performance climate control solution for commercial ceilings, retrofit zones, and architecturally sensitive interiors. Designed for quiet operation and minimal disruption, the SCW series supports chilled-water cooling and can optionally incorporate hydronic heating, allowing a single cassette to handle both comfort cooling and heating in one footprint. Ideal for schools, offices, laboratories, conference centers, and environments with suspended ceilings, the Modine Ductless Ceiling Cassettes meet the needs of both specifiers and facility managers seeking comfort, flexibility, and low-impact installation.

Models

  • SCW
  • 4 model sizes: 8, 12, 18, and 36 nominal MBH

Highlighted Features

Quiet, Even Air Distribution

Engineered to deliver consistent, draft-free comfort, the SCW uses four-way airflow for balanced temperature distribution across the room.

Discreet, Space-Saving Ceiling Design

The SCW installs flush within the ceiling grid, delivering heating and cooling without taking up wall or floor space. Its low-profile appearance makes it ideal for modern commercial interiors where clean lines matter.

Efficient, Ductless Cooling and Heating

The SCW provides efficient heating and cooling without the need for ductwork, making installation simple in both new construction and retrofit applications. Its advanced controls enhance comfort while optimizing energy use.
