Monoblock Unit for Small And Medium-sized Cold Storage Facilities

Integrated refrigeration units are primarily designed for small and medium-sized cold storage facilities.

These units highly integrate core components—such as compressors, condensers, evaporators, and throttling devices—that traditionally require separate installation into one or two compact units. Eliminating complex on-site piping connections, they perfectly align with the operational requirements of small and medium-sized cold storage environments.

Core Reasons for Suiting Small-to-Medium Cold Storage

Low Installation and Commissioning Barriers: Small-to-medium cold storage units are typically installed by non-specialized refrigeration teams. Integrated units undergo most commissioning at the factory, requiring only power connection, indoor fan connection (for split-type integrated units), and control wiring on-site. Installation can be completed in 1-2 days, significantly faster than traditional split-type units.

Space and cost savings: Small-to-medium cold storage facilities have limited floor space (typically 10-500㎡). Integrated units eliminate the need for dedicated machine rooms for compressors and condensers, allowing them to be mounted directly on the exterior wall or placed in corners. This also avoids additional costs for on-site pipe welding and vacuum extraction.

Low maintenance complexity: The integrated design minimizes pipe connections and external components, reducing potential failure points. During maintenance, technicians can troubleshoot the entire unit directly, eliminating the need to inspect scattered components individually. This makes them ideal for small-to-medium businesses lacking specialized maintenance personnel (e.g., produce stores, small food processing plants).

Typical Application Scenarios

Small cold storage (10-50 m²): Commonly used in convenience store refrigerators, restaurant kitchen cold storage, and small produce preservation rooms. Integrated air-cooled units are preferred for their compact size and mobility.

Medium-sized cold storage (50-500㎡): Examples include regional agricultural product storage facilities and cold storage units in small-to-medium food processing plants. These often utilize split-type integrated units (where the compressor and condenser form one unit, and the evaporator forms another), balancing heat exchange efficiency with installation flexibility.
