Choosing the appropriate refrigeration unit is crucial when constructing a 10 square meter small cold storage facility. Both all-in-one and split type units have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the specific selection needs to be determined based on the usage scenario, budget, and maintenance conditions.

Integrated machine (integrated unit)

advantage:

Easy installation: The compressor, condenser, and evaporator are integrated into one chassis, making installation quick and suitable for places with limited space.
Low cost: The initial investment is relatively low, making it suitable for small cold storage facilities with limited budgets.
Easy to maintain: compact structure, easy to troubleshoot and repair.

Disadvantages:

Loud noise: The compressor and the cold storage are in the same space, and the noise is relatively high during operation.
Restricted heat dissipation: The heat dissipation of the condenser may be affected by the environment, and the efficiency may decrease in high temperature environments.

Split type unit

advantage:

Efficient refrigeration: The compressor (outdoor unit) and evaporator (indoor unit) are separated for better heat dissipation and higher refrigeration efficiency.
Low noise: The compressor is installed outdoors, making the interior of the cold storage quieter.
Strong adaptability: Suitable for high temperature environments and more stable long-term operation.

Disadvantages:

Complex installation: requires connecting copper pipes and circuits, resulting in high installation costs.
High maintenance costs: If there is a refrigerant leak or pipeline failure, maintenance is more complicated.

How to choose?

Limited budget, short-term use → Choose all-in-one machine
Long term operation, high temperature environment, low noise requirement → Choose split type unit
