Monoblocks

For an effective and easy-to-install refrigeration option, choose monoblocks for refrigeration in your cold room.

Offering one-unit refrigeration, which includes both the condensing and evaporating units in the same construction, they are suitable for a wide range of temperature-controlled spaces.

How do refrigeration units work?

Temperature-controlled spaces, like cold room fridges, freezers, or dual/multi-compartment rooms, rely on refrigeration equipment that successfully completes the entire refrigeration cycle.

A monoblock refrigeration system contains two of the four processes in one and is pre-loaded with refrigerant, helping to make installation faster and easier.

Benefits of a monoblock cooling unit

Simplified installation and reduced chances of leaks

Traditional refrigeration units rely on long refrigeration lines, which take longer to position and secure. Plus, once in place, they can leak potentially harmful refrigerant if damaged.

Monoblock refrigeration has a plug-and-play design and uses fewer lines, helping to make cooling safer and more reliable.

Less expensive commercial cooling and freezing

Faster installation and fewer separate components make installing the cooling supply much more economical.

Space-saving design

As each monoblock installation controls temperature with combined components, it is more compact – leaving more room for stock!

Easier maintenance

As all refrigerant parts are in one place, the system is simpler to maintain and repair.

Are monoblock refrigeration units suitable for commercial spaces?

Whether you need refrigeration units for chilled, freezer, or combination temperature control, this unit is ideal for a wide range of businesses and industries, including:

Food and drink
Pharmaceutical and medical
Agriculture and horticulture
Logistics and warehousing
Hospitality
Retail
Industrial and chemical
Cosmetics and skincare

Plus many more!

How are monoblock refrigeration units installed?

The clearest difference between the straddle and through-wall design of refrigerating monoblock units is how they are designed to be installed on or into the wall of refrigerated cells.

No matter how you choose to install your system, any gaps should be filled with a suitable sealant to prevent the entry of unrefrigerated air once finished.

Straddle monoblock units

The straddle unit monoblock fits over the side of the refrigeration cell wall, appearing on either side – hence the name. The ceiling or roof is then built over the top to keep refrigerated air in.

Through-wall monoblock units

Through-wall monoblock units are installed by cutting a hole in your cold room wall/cold room panel, before mounting the unit between the exterior and interior of your cold room.

Is a chiller monoblock suitable for all cold rooms?

Monoblock refrigeration systems come in a few different varieties, which dictate which type of cold rooms they can be used in.

Freezer monoblocks

Monoblock freezer units are designed for walk-in and cold room freezers that need to maintain negative frozen temperatures for the safe storage of food, drinks, and other perishable goods.

Suitable for temperatures of between -15°C and -25°C.

Chiller monoblocks

A monoblock fridge unit is recommended for walk-in chillers and cold room fridges that need to maintain positive chilled temperatures.

Suitable for temperatures between +1°C and +8°C.

For more information, please consult the user and maintenance manual which comes with each unit.

Monoblock Frequently Asked Questions

Is there an evaporation coil inside a monoblock refrigeration unit?

Inside a chiller or freezer monoblock, you will find a compressor, condenser, and evaporator, housed side-by-side.

By choosing a ready-to-use monoblock refrigeration unit, you can have all of the benefits of a refrigeration system with the added benefits of extra space, increased economy, and faster installation.

For more information or to check your chosen monoblock offers the cooling capacity for your cold room, call 01886 833 381 or email spares@mtcss.co.uk.

Do monoblock refrigeration units require maintenance?

As with all refrigeration systems, regular maintenance is essential for ensuring your chiller or freezer functions correctly, for as long as possible.

As such, we recommend having it serviced twice a year. Each service should include checking the gas levels, cleaning the condenser, testing the controls, and making sure everything is working as it should.

If you don't have an in-house team to help with maintenance, why not speak to us about safe and competitive cold room maintenance packages with MTCSS?

How are monoblocks mounted during installation?

Mounting a monoblock usually involves fitting the unit through a pre-cut opening in the wall or ceiling of the cold room. Wall mounting is most common, with the unit positioned at a high level to allow for good airflow.

If wall space is limited, for example, ceiling mounting is also an option. The right option will depend on your cold room layout and the building itself, so this will be identified in the design process and will be shared with you before installation.

If you're unsure about mounting requirements or need to share small details that might affect installation in general, feel free to contact us at any time.
