Product details
Friga-Bohn Evaporator | MFE1 | Micro-Freeze Slimline Unit Cooler
Product Description
The MFE1 is engineered for precision cooling in confined environments.
- MF/MFE Series: Known as the “Micro-Freeze” range. While the MF is for positive temperatures (chilled), the MFE is specifically optimized for Low Temperature (frozen) applications.
- MFE1: The “1” denotes a single-fan configuration. It is one of the smallest professional-grade evaporators available, providing high-efficiency heat exchange in a remarkably thin profile.
- ABS Casing: Built with a recyclable white ABS housing that is highly resistant to mechanical shocks and thermal variations, ensuring it doesn’t crack in sub-zero conditions.
In the UAE, the MFE1 is commonly found in specialized pharmacy fridges, high-end cafe display units, and compact kitchen reach-ins. Its design focuses on hygiene and aesthetics, making it perfect for units where the evaporator might be visible to customers or used in clinical settings.
Key Features
- Ultra-Slim Profile: Designed to mount flush against the ceiling, leaving maximum vertical space for products.
- Hygienic Design: Features rounded corners and a smooth ABS casing to prevent “dead zones” where bacteria or ice can accumulate, meeting strict EN 1672-2 food safety standards.
- Electric Defrost Capability: Unlike the basic MF models, the MFE series is designed to handle temperatures below freezing with appropriate defrost cycles.
- Corrosion Resistance: The coil is completely covered with a polyester protection as standard, which is critical for resisting the humid and salty air of the UAE.
- Low Noise: Equipped with a 4-pole motor that operates quietly, making it ideal for front-of-house hospitality environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Can I use the MFE1 in a standard walk-in cold room?
- A: It is better suited for very small cabinets or reach-ins. For a standard walk-in, the MR or MH series would provide better air throw and capacity.
- Q: What is the main difference between MF1 and MFE1?
- A: The MFE1 is built for lower temperatures and is compatible with defrost systems, whereas the MF1 is generally for positive chilled temperatures only.
- Q: Is the casing durable?
- A: Yes, the ABS plastic is “shock-proof” and designed to maintain its integrity at both very low and high temperatures without the risk of rust.
