Ambient Temperature Factor

The cooling system has the ability to cool a wine cellar efficiently to 55°F as long as the ambient temperature of the

area that it is exhausting to does not exceed 110°F. Therefore, you want to exhaust the condensing unit in a space which

will not exceed 110°F. Otherwise the system will not have the capacity to keep the wine at a desirable 55°F.

Ventilation

The necessity of dissipating heat away from the condensing unit is critical to the performance and cannot be

overstated. As the system operates and cools, a greater amount of heat is generated on the condensing side of the

system. Adequate ventilation is required in order to dissipate heat away from the condensing unit. If ventilation is

inadequate, the exhaust will heat up the area or room and adversely affect the systems ability to cool. In some cases, it

may be advisable to install a vent fan to dissipate heat within the exhaust area on the condensing side of the system.

However, you must have a fresh air inlet as well.

Note: If you are unsure about having adequate ventilation in your install location, please

Warning, allowing your system to operate in high ambient temperatures for

extended periods of time will greatly decrease the life of your system and void

your warranty. The cooler the temperature of the air entering the condenser coil

the more cooling capacity the system has. The less heat gain through the common

wall, the less the electricity consumption.
