Production technologies
Production of monoblock chillers
Complete refrigeration units in a single enclosure – table, cabinet and chamber models. Ready to work immediately after installation, running on natural R290 refrigerant. Manufactured under AiCool, a brand of the AiFO Group.
Why a monoblock
The whole cooling system in one enclosure
A monoblock contains every element of the refrigeration circuit – compressor, condenser, expansion element, evaporator, thermostat and filter drier – closed in a single enclosure.
Installation therefore comes down to fitting the unit into the cabinet or cold room, and in the event of a failure the whole module is swapped instead of servicing the circuit on site.
What we make
Monoblocks and condensing units
Table monoblock chiller
A complete refrigeration assembly, quick and easy to install and ready for use immediately after installation.
Cabinet monoblock chiller
A complete refrigeration system and a Plug & Play appliance, ready to work as soon as it is plugged in.
Chamber monoblock chiller
A complete system for cold rooms – it starts working as soon as it is fitted into the appliance.
Condensing units
Assemblies with the essential components of the circuit, including the condenser and the compressor, in many versions.
What you gain
Why choose a monoblock
Plug & Play
The unit is ready to work right after installation – with no refrigeration pipework built on site.
Natural R290 refrigerant
We use R290 propane, compliant with current EU directives and manufacturing standards.
A complete appliance
All the required components are closed in a single, compact enclosure.
Easy replacement
In the event of a failure the module is simply removed and a new one fitted – no specialist qualifications needed.
Fast installation
Fitting a monoblock into a cabinet or cold room takes a fraction of the time needed to build a circuit from components.
Different models
We manufacture monoblocks with various capacities and sizes, matched to the volume and the temperature range.

Production process
From selecting the circuit to a finished unit
The monoblock is built on a dedicated process line, from components of proven quality and in line with the applicable standards.
-
Selection and design
We set the capacity and dimensions of the monoblock from the volume, the temperature range and the operating conditions of the appliance.
-
Component assembly
On the line we assemble the compressor, condenser, expansion element, evaporator, thermostat and filter drier – the stage that demands the highest precision.
-
Charging and leak testing
The circuit is charged with R290 and checked for tightness in line with the applicable standards.
-
Testing and inspection
Every unit goes through a check of its operating parameters before it is released for shipping.
-
Finished product
The monoblock is packed as a complete appliance, ready to be fitted into the target equipment.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about monoblock chillers
Did not find your answer? Write to us – we will match a monoblock to your appliance.
Ask a questionWhat is a monoblock chiller?
It is a complete refrigeration circuit closed in a single enclosure. It contains the compressor, condenser, expansion element, evaporator, thermostat and filter drier, so once fitted into the appliance it is ready to work.
What does Plug & Play mean?
That the unit requires no refrigeration pipework to be built on site. It is enough to fit the monoblock into the cabinet or cold room and connect the power supply.
Which refrigerant do you use?
Our monoblocks run on natural R290 propane, compliant with current EU directives and manufacturing standards.
Does replacing a monoblock require qualifications?
Swapping the whole module is straightforward – remove the old unit and fit a new one. Work on the refrigeration circuit itself is carried out by a service technician.
Which types of monoblock do you produce?
We manufacture table, cabinet and chamber monoblocks as well as condensing units, in a range of capacities and sizes.
How do I choose the right capacity?
The capacity is matched to the volume of the chamber, the temperature range, the type of goods and the ambient conditions. Send us these details and we will propose the right model.
