Description

Our DICE enclosures are designed for a wide range of outdoor units of heat pumps and air conditioning systems from virtually all brands. They combine effective noise reduction (9 to 15 dB(A)) with free and efficient airflow, ensuring the system operates quietly and reliably in any environment.

To prevent loss of efficiency, an integrated anti-recirculation panel separates intake and exhaust air. Thanks to the intelligent design, air resistance is kept to a minimum, ensuring optimal performance.

The enclosures are manufactured from galvanised steel, with a self-supporting frame and a maintenance-free finish. This protects the equipment against weather conditions and dirt. Access panels provide easy entry, and the enclosures can optionally be powder-coated in any RAL colour for a durable and visually integrated finish.

Applications

The wide range of models ensures a DICE enclosure to suit almost any outdoor unit. Where a standard model does not meet requirements, a bespoke enclosure can be produced. For optimal ventilation, maintain at least 500 mm of free space around the enclosure and avoid placing units directly against walls or obstacles.

DICE provides a solution that keeps your heat pump or air-conditioning unit quiet, efficient and secure, regardless of brand or type.

Answers to common questions

Answers to the most common technical and practical questions.
Does Merford provide service and maintenance for ACE and DICE?

Yes. We provide inspections, preventive maintenance, and repairs to maintain the performance of ventilation, sound insulation, and safety certifications. This ensures the enclosure remains reliable throughout its entire lifespan.

How is airflow and cooling ensured?

Both series are designed with custom ventilation grilles, internal air channels, and optional filters. CFD simulations are used to determine the optimal airflow, ensuring equipment stays cool without compromising noise or safety standards.

Are the enclosures modular or customizable?

Yes, both ACE and DICE are modular. Dimensions, frames, doors, and internal compartments can be adjusted to ensure the enclosure perfectly fits technical installations or space constraints.

What is the difference between ACE and DICE enclosures?

The DICE enclosure is louvre-based and suited for variable sizes and airflow. The ACE enclosure is designed for low-frequency noise, with acoustic panels for maximum sound reduction in confined areas.
