Wine Guardian 1/2 Ton 5,500 BTU Split System Wine Cooling Unit

The split system operates in ambient temperatures between 0°F and 115°F (-18°C and 46°C) and the condenser unit has a cover that is suitable for outdoor use. And just like all Wine Guardian products, it is certified by ETL to UL and CSA standards for safety and performance. Condensing unit includes high and low refrigerant pressure switches, low ambient protection, refrigerant sight glass, and a filter drier. The fancoil has multiple supply air openings for installation flexibility (for up to 5 outlets) and high static pressure fans for extended lengths of ductwork. Made in the USA. 24/7 hotline for information and assistance.

The Wine Guardian cooling unit is a professional, USA manufacturered, split system climate control unit designed specifically for the storage of wine at cellar temperatures. It is designed for easy installation and operation. Wine Guardian uses digital electronic controls and environmentally friendly R-134a refrigerant. The entire unit is run tested at the factory and shipped together. All components are of a high quality standard commercial grade. The entire unit is approved by ETL according to UL 1995 and CSA safety standards. All wiring complies with NEC. Each unit is furnished with a sealed, UL approved power cord and plug.

The Wine Guardian split system unit includes a fan coil unit (evaporator) and condensing system. The two units are connected with coolant lines that carry cooled refrigerant from the condenser to the fan coil and heated refrigerant back to the condenser to be cooled down again. The fan coil unit is designed to be used either as a free blowing, through the wall unit or as a remote mount unit with external ductwork connections.

• Factory Tested - All Wine Guardian units are factory run-tested and checked for operational performance.
• Humidity Option - The optional humidifier comes fully assembled and tested for field installation onto the Wine Guardian without any additional electrical power wiring. It automatically adds moisture into the cellar by the evaporation of water over a distribution pad. A cellar mounted digital electronic humidistat automatically controls the amount of moisture added.
• Interal Drain Trap - Water condensate from the evaporator coil fills the trap and forms a seal to prevent air from being drawn back through the drain tube. This allows the drain pan to drain freely. No external trap ix required.
• Refrigerant Circuit - The factory charged circuit includes a thermal expansion valve with an external eqaulizer, slight glass with moisture indicator, a filter dryer, an automatic low pressure switch, and a manually reset high pressure switch. For the low ambient option, an automatic pressure switch controls the operation of the condenser blower and a heating element is added to the compressor oil reservoir.
• Supply Grilles - Powder-coated steel single direction grilles are provided for the inlets. These are readily interchangeable with access doors to control and direct the airflow. These grilles many be used in the room on the end of the ducts in the ducted systems.
