Monoblock unit
Short definitionA wall-mounted unit with the evaporator, compressor and condenser in one body. No refrigerant piping is needed.
The unit hangs on the wall: the cooling section sits inside the room and the heat rejection section outside. No pipes are run on site and no refrigerant is charged. For small rooms it is the fastest solution to install.
Its capacity is limited and it has to be fitted to an outside wall. It cannot go on a shared wall between two rooms, because the heat it rejects would go into the neighbouring room.
