The MPCA Monoblocs are self-contained cellar conditioning units designed for installation inside a dedicated cabinet or enclosure — no external condenser, no split installation, no fuss. All cooling and humidification components are housed within a single compact unit, making it one of the most discreet and straightforward wine cellar conditioning solutions in the Monobloc range, with options to blow air either upwards or downwards, depending on the model selected. Available for cellars of up to 20m³ and 30m³, it delivers continuous wine storage performance. Key Features Fully self-contained monobloc design — all components in a single cabinet-mounted unit Full four-function conditioning: cooling, heating, humidification and a crankcase heater Hot gas condensate evaporator eliminates the need to manage drain water manually Maintains precise temperature and humidity year-round, whatever the season Available in two sizes to suit cellars up to 20 m³ or 30 m³ Part of the Monobloc range, alongside the window-mounted MPCJ and ductable MPCG Uses R290 refrigerant — . It is a highly efficient, eco-friendly natural hydrocarbon used as an alternative to synthetic greenhouse gases. Because it boasts a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just \(3\) and zero ozone depletion, it is widely utilized in commercial refrigeration, vending machines, and modern air-source heat pumps. Specifications Cellar capacity: 20 m³ or 30 m³ Installation type: Cabinet mounted Functions: Cooling, heating, humidification Refrigerant: R290 Discharge Direction The MPCA is available in two air discharge configurations. The Up variant directs conditioned air upward into the cellar space, suiting installations where the cabinet sits lower in the room. The Down variant pushes conditioned air downward, making it the natural choice where the unit is positioned higher up — for example, mounted above a doorway or near the ceiling. Both configurations are available across the 20 m³ and 30 m³ capacity options. Installation Notes The MPCA is designed for installation within a dedicated cabinet or enclosure inside the conditioned cellar space. Because all components — including the condenser — are housed within the single unit, no wall penetration for an external condenser is required. The hot gas condensate evaporator handles moisture produced during operation, removing the need for a condensate drain line. Select your discharge direction (Up or Down) and capacity (20 m³ or 30 m³) to match the layout and thermal load of your cellar.
