Types of Cold Room Refrigeration & Temperature Control
Temperature ranges :
• Walk-In Chillers +0°C to +8°C
• Walk-In Freezers -10°C to -20°C
Ideal for :
• Small to medium capacity cold rooms
• Chiller cold rooms and freezer cold rooms
• Areas with limited external space
• Well ventilated areas
• Easy installation
• Rooms which may be moved in the future
Monoblock Refrigeration
What is a monoblock refrigeration unit?
Monoblock refrigeration units are a cold room refrigeration system that fits through the wall, or through the ceiling, within a cold room – they are self-contained systems which are ideal for use in confined and well-ventilated spaces, or as per of a walk-in cold room to optimise storage.
The systems are ‘plug and play’ so there is minimal fuss when it comes to installation and maintenance. The systems are self-evaporating, so there is no need to plumb into existing drainage or soak aways to your walk-in cold room.
This system is ideal if your cold room isn’t required to run all throughout the year, as you can simply turn the integral unit’s power off and power back on when you would like to use the room again.
If you’re envisaging moving your walk-in chiller or freezer rooms in the future, monoblock refrigeration units are a great option – you can simply turn off the unit, release the holding fixings and remove the unit, making it easy to transport and reinstall.
Temperature ranges :
• Walk-In Chillers +0°C to +8°C
• Walk-In Freezers -10°C to -40°C
Ideal for :
• Chiller rooms and freezer cold rooms
• Medium to large scale cold rooms
• Bespoke operating requirements and parameters
• External cold rooms
Split Refrigeration Systems
What is a split refrigeration system?
Split refrigeration systems consists of two units; one that sits within the chiller / freezer cold room (the evaporator) and another unit which sits external to the building (the condenser). In comparison to monoblock unit which is one unit which sits as part of the cold room.
Split refrigeration systems are ideal for medium to larger scale cold rooms and are suited to areas which have poor ventilation, as the external unit removes any heat / warm out and releases it outside. We can also offer different GWP refrigerant solutions, dependent on the application.
These systems are suitable for external use – so if you are looking to build your chiller cold room or freezer cold room outside, this is an ideal solution!
Your business wants to ensure that your walk-in cold room protects your products in every circumstance. But what about in the event of a refrigeration unit failure? Or a power outage? MTCSS has a solution.
We can provide back-up refrigeration – this can be offered for full assurance and compliance for accreditations and audits. Along with the peace of mind there’s full contingency in place for any failures and ensuring your products are continuously protected.
BMI refrigeration systems can be made bespoke to suit and ‘talk to’ any building management system in place. Or we can offer the option of remote management systems – meaning you can manage and monitor the units remotely, adjust the parameters, get data and record performance.
Temperature ranges :
• +10°C to +30°C
Ideal for :
• Areas with a large footprint / capacity – eg. a large open plan warehouse
• Areas that need a consistent ambient temperature
Ambient Temperature Control
Ambient temperature controlled systems can be designed to precise parameters – for example, they can design to maintain a temperature across a complete area to within
These can be designed to be as precise as keeping a constant temperature across the +1/-1 degree of the set temperature.
Ambient temperature controlled areas are ideal for pharmaceutical storage and food preparation areas, hydroponic / aeroponic indoor growing and automotive / aeronautical storage.
Ideal for :
• Smaller spaces
• Office spaces
• Larger open packing rooms
Air Conditioning
MTCSS can provide air conditioning as part of your bespoke temperature controlled envelope. Whether you need additional ventilation in a large open area, or you need a system in your warehouse office area, MTCSS can design a solution for your requirements.
Cold Room Lighting
MTCSS offers lighting solutions to integrate with cold room constructions and temperature controlled environments. The lighting solutions we supply and install are durable, in particularly in areas of extreme temperatures and where harsh chemicals may be encountered.
In food & drink areas and pharmaceutical areas – we understand that hygiene is paramount. So we ensure that the lighting follows guidelines for hygienic design and use materials that are easy to clean and do not cause contamination.
Within walk-in chillers and freezer cold rooms where specific temperatures are required, we choose lighting solutions that minimize heat gain. The energy efficient LED lights offer full light when switched on, even in very lower temperatures.
There a various elements to consider when designing and building a temperature controlled room – MTCSS Contracts will take out any guesswork and answer any queries you may have.

Frequently Asked Questions
Although the process of the refrigeration is a complicated one – the MTCSS team are here to explain it.
Refrigeration systems work by expanding and compressing the chosen refrigerant, within a hermetic system, allowing the refrigerant to absorb the heat and expel it elsewhere within the system. It’s a non-stop cycle that will continue forever, providing it is fuelled adequately and the system is optimally functioning.
When it comes to refrigeration systems, MTCSS are the experts, and we can design, supply and install systems to suit a range of applications, industries, and specifications. We can offer refrigeration systems for:
• walk-in fridges and chiller cold rooms
• walk-in freezers and freezer cold rooms – including pull-down and holding freezers
• 100% back up refrigeration systems
• split refrigeration systems
• monoblock plug-and-play refrigeration systems
• humidity and atmospheric control
Dependent on your industry and requirements, we can offer bespoke engineering and refrigeration systems, or off-the-shelf refrigeration systems.
There are four main components of a refrigeration system: the compressor, the condenser, the expansion valve, and the evaporator.
• The compressor compresses the gas to raise the pressure and temperature of the gas.
• The condenser cools the gas and condenses the refrigerant into a liquid.
• The expansion valve rapidly reduces the pressure, turning the liquid back to a gas.
• The evaporator is positioned in the cold room or cabinet cools the refrigerant to absorb the heat within the room / cabinet.
There are different types of refrigeration systems, but these form the main and most commonly used refrigeration systems.
Environmental impact is a key consideration in the temperature control industry – and that includes refrigeration systems. But what should you consider when selecting a system for your business:
• global warming potential and ozone depletion potential of the refrigerant utilised
• F-gas and HCFC regulation adherence
• longevity of your refrigeration systems and the refrigerants
Reducing environmental impact is at the forefront of business industry – but if you don’t adhere to the regulations, this can result in costly charges and penalties.
Of course, MTCSS take these factors into consideration, so you don’t have to.
MTCSS can design and commission refrigeration systems and temperature-controlled solutions specific to your requirements, to suit a range of temperatures including:
• +1 to +8 degrees celcius for walk-in fridges
• -1 to -45 degrees celcius for walk-in freezers
• +10 to +30 degrees celcius for ambient temperature control
If you’re looking for an off-the-shelf refrigeration system for a small to medium capacity cold room, we have monoblock refrigeration systems for chiller and freeze cold rooms.

Catherine Hester Fenwick, Ambient storage at Brabourne Wines 2021
‘Brabourne Wine is a small, family run vineyard in Kent. In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a Conservation Area and with listed buildings, we needed to find a solution to store our wine without building afresh or making any material differences to the current buildings. MTCSS were amazingly flexible. They worked with us to develop a solution that fitted inside one of our outbuildings. Given the limitations on space and the requirement to have racking suitable for pallets, virtually everything about the project had to be bespoke but Darren never lost patience with the endless queries in the planning phase. Once on site, the team was professional, friendly, flexible and quick. They have delivered a solution which is perfect for our needs and exceeds our expectations. We are at the smaller end of their usual customer base, but we were never made to feel as though we were any less important than a major supermarket chain. We would certainly recommend them to anybody needing a controlled climate for storage (or any other reason)’

Dual Compartment Cold Room Installation, London
From the beginning I found Gem’s customer service fantastic, out of all of the companies we spoke to for quotes she was the most responsive and attentive. Even when we were still finalising and it wasn’t confirmed if we were proceeding with MTCSS yet, she was always great with keeping in contact to see if we needed anything, and very responsive with emails, and also phone calls.
Andy and Nathan, have been great throughout the entire process. Both have been on hand for any queries we have had and very responsive again to all forms of communication. Everything has been handled promptly and efficiently both before, during and after the build. Any questions we have had they have always gotten back to us with an answer very quickly.
The gentlemen who completed the install here on site, where very friendly and mindful of business operations while completing work. Each day they would check in with who was here in the morning to explain what they would be doing, what access they required, and asked if and how this might affect our operations or customers. Again, they were very clear and open with communication and was happy to help find solutions when we had issues with the shelving.
Overall our experience with you has been very good and we have been left a happy customer. I would also just like to say a thank you to yourself Gem, Nathan and Andy as you have all been very great throughout our customer journey!
