Ventilation
The necessity of dissipating heat away
from the unit is critical to the unit’s
performance and cannot be overstated.
As the unit operates and cools, a greater
amount of heat is generated on the
exhaust side of the unit. Adequate
ventilation is required in order to
dissipate heat away from the unit. If
ventilation is inadequate, the exhaust will
heat up and adversely affect the unit’s
ability to cool. In some cases, it may be
advisable to install a vent fan to dissipate
heat within the exhaust area on the
backside of the unit. However, you must
have a fresh air inlet as well. If your unit
requires ducting, please contact
Vinothèque Wine Cellars Customer
Service to obtain a specially designed
ducting accessory kit for the XLT unit.
Using any other ducting system voids
warranty.
Unobstructed Airflow
Unobstructed airflow to and from the unit
is a critical factor in the unit’s overall
performance. Make sure there is a
minimum three-foot horizontal clearance
from the rear of the unit as well as a
minimum three foot clearance in front of
the evaporator fans. This will assure that
the unit can move the air around in an
efficient manner.
Ambient Temperature Factor
The cooling system has the ability to cool a
maximum of 30°F below the ambient
temperature in the room it is exhausting
to. Therefore you want to exhaust the unit in
a room which will not exceed 85°F.
Otherwise the unit will not have the
capacity to keep the wine at a desirable
55°F.
