CellarPro cooling units are engineered to maintain optimal wine storage conditions
inside wine cellars.
• Temperature
Proper temperatures are maintained by transferring heat from inside wine cellars
and exhausting the heat through the top (top-vent) or rear (rear-vent) of the cooling
units.
CellarPro cooling units are designed to turn on when the temperature inside the
cellar exceeds the Minimum Set Point plus the Temperature Differential, and turn off
when the temperature inside the cellar drops below the Minimum Set Point. For
example, if the Minimum Set Point is 55°F and the Temperature Differential is 4°F,
the cooling unit will turn on when the temperature inside the cellar rises above 59°F,
and turn off when the temperature falls below 55°F.
A number of variables, including the temperatures of the ambient environment, the
insulation of the cellar and the thermal mass inside the cellar, will affect the speed
with which the temperature inside the cellar rises during the cooling unit’s “off” cycle.
It is normal for the cooling unit to run up to 75 percent of the time in order to
maintain proper conditions inside the cellar.
CellarPro cooling units are designed to cool up to 30°F below the ambient
temperature in the space outside the condenser coils, and are designed to operate in
environments ranging in temperature from 50°F to 85°F.
• Humidity
Relative humidity is maintained by gently
cooling the cellar without removing
moisture from the environment.
Although the relative humidity in the
ambient environment will affect the level
of humidity inside the cellar, CellarPro
cooling units can be adjusted to increase
the level of relative humidity inside a
cellar,. The Fon setting (shown at right)
controls the amount of moisture
circulated inside the cellar. To increase
humidity inside the cellar, change the Fon setting per the instructions in Chapter III.
