The SPC-EVPL
The EVPL split system Genesis and Vintage under-ceiling evaporators meet all the requirements for installing an air conditioner (distance between the unit and the evaporator, small dimensions, acoustic constraints etc…). The evaporator can be positioned either horizontally under the ceiling to leave as much space as possible for the bottles on the walls, or vertically with the KPM option if required by cellar dimensions.

Wireless remote control
Faultless regulation… and a wireless system developed exclusively by Friax, avoiding any cabling constraints
Vintage
This is the most complete solution. It air conditions, heats and humidifies your cellar
Condensation unit
This encased air or water-based condensation unit manages the system’s cooling production
The Ceiling Split Solution
EVPL evaporators are easily integrated into the ceiling of all cellars. The wide power range makes it possible to air-condition large volumes without ever compromising user comfort.
Friax split systems are based on the most modern and energy-efficient technologies.
Wireless remote control
Included with every Vintage products
According to the type of installation chosen, it is not always easy to reach the regulator on a cellar air conditioner. Using Friax’s RSF remote control you can install the system further away without constraints. The signal passes through walls. The remote control does not necessarily have to be installed in the cellar room. In this way you can check your temperature and hygrometry without having to go down to the cellar.

Evaporator | Vintage
The most complete solution. On the EVPL, it performs the functions of air conditioning, heating and humidification of the cellar. Optimized for cellars that are too dry, these models are equipped with the HGR% system. allows to restore to the too dry cellars the humidity which is appropriate for the great vintages. It incorporates a humidifier controlled by a hygrostatic probe mounted in the evaporator, precisely managing the humidity of the cellar. The water connection can be made with flexible connections. The use of a KLPWSECU kit will facilitate and secure the connection on the water.
The evaporator is positioned either horizontally on the ceiling to leave a maximum of space for the bottles on the walls, or vertically equipped with the KPM option when the environment of the cellar requires it.

Air cooling units
GCH - Outside Air | Size 30 to 122
Units of size 30 to 122 are equipped with Condensation Unit GCH. Aesthetic, modern and practical groups, for an easy and discreet installation.
----
The GCH units consist of a frame in galvanized sheet metal and a bodywork coated with two-tone paint intended for outdoor installation.
The use of a micro-channel coil and an electronically commutated (EC) axial fan driven by the split regulation makes it possible to optimize the operation of the refrigeration system in summer and winter.
They are equipped with a tank, a liquid line with dehydrator and sight glass. Flare valves are provided for the refrigeration connection.
The safety of the group is ensured by high and low pressure cartridge pressure switches. The KPC condensation temperature control allows the correct operation of the refrigeration system in summer and winter.
The compressor receives a regulated RC crankcase heater to ensure its protection when the Friax split works in heating mode. The electrical connection is made on a waterproof electrical box. Condensing units are pre-charged with refrigerant.
Access to the electrical part is facilitated thanks to the gate located on the side of the device.
The hinged cover simplifies commissioning and maintenance operations.
The acoustic insulation of the group can be reinforced with a BNS kit.
GC - Ducted Air | Size 170 to 230
Splits ranging from size 30 to 230 with air-cooled condensation can be equipped with GCG units for ducted use.
They are equipped with a tank, a liquid line with a dehydrator and sight glass. Flare valves are provided for refrigeration connections.
They feature variable-speed EC centrifugal ventilation (maximum static pressure of 100 Pa), duct connection Ø 200 mm, a liquid tank, a liquid line with a dehydrator and sight glass.
Flare valves are included for refrigeration connections.
The unit's safety is ensured by high- and low-pressure cartridge-type pressure switches. The KPC condensation pressure regulation ensures the proper operation of the refrigeration system in both summer and winter.
The compressor is equipped with a regulated RC crankcase heater to protect it when the Friax split operates in heating mode. The electrical connection is made through a sealed electrical cabinet. Condensing units are pre-charged with refrigerant for a standard 6-meter connection.
A KBPL-GCG plenum is available as an accessory when the unit needs to be connected to a fresh air intake duct.
The unit’s acoustic insulation can be enhanced with a BNS kit.
Water cooling units
W - Eau | Size 30 to 230
Splits ranging from size 30 to 230 with water-cooled condensation are equipped with GCW units.
GCW units consist of a galvanized steel frame and a body coated with a two-tone paint finish.
They need to be installed under shelter in a frost-free environment.
They are not thermally insulated and therefore cannot be installed in the cellar.
They are equipped with a liquid line featuring a dehydrator and sight glass. Flare valves are provided for refrigeration connections.
The unit's safety is ensured by high- and low-pressure cartridge-type pressure switches (HBP). Condensation pressure regulation is managed by a pressostatic water valve (VEP), which must be adjusted during the unit's commissioning. This ensures the system operates properly year-round and optimizes water consumption for devices connected to a municipal water supply.
GCW units can also be connected to chilled water networks when such systems are available on-site.
