1. Condenser Air Intake (Rear). The condenser coils are located at the rear of the
cooling unit. These coils require access to cool air in order for the cooling unit to
produce cool air. In general, the cooling unit will be able to produce cold air that is
30°F below the temperature of the condenser air intake. The cooling unit must be
installed so that, after its installation, there is access to the condenser coils at the
rear of the cooling unit for periodic cleaning of the coils.
2. Condenser Air Exhaust (Rear or Top). Condenser air can be exhausted either
through the top or the rear of the cooling unit. CellarPro units have interchangeable
vent panels that can be swapped between the top and the rear of the cooling unit to
match the configuration of your cellar and exhaust space.
Rear vent configuration (most common): in this configuration, the panel is
attached to the top of the cooling unit and hot air is freely exhausted from the
rear of the cooling unit into the exhaust space, which should have the same
space capacity as the wine cellar. (eg, if the cellar is 300 cubic feet, the
exhaust space also should be 300 cubic feet.)In addition, this configuration
should have 4-6” of unobstructed clearance directly behind the cellar.
Top-vent configuration (less common): in this configuration, the panel is
attached to the rear of the cooling unit and hot air is freely exhausted from the
top of the cooling unit into the exhaust space. If the exhaust space is shared
with the rear of the cooling unit, it should have the same space capacity as
the wine cellar (eg, if the cellar is 300 cubic feet, the exhaust space also
should be 300 cubic feet.).
WITH DUCTING
We offer a duct kit that is designed to work with all CellarPro 1800 cooling units. The
kit includes:
A duct hood that fits over the rear of the cooling unit and is designed to
connect to two 6” ducts (one for intake and one for exhaust), with a
removable slot for changing air filters;
A 6” inline fan, plus wiring from the cooling unit that provides switched power
to the fan
(the cooling unit cannot be ducted without an inline fan)
. When
connecting the fan to our switched power line, please follow local building
codes, which may require the use of conduit for the wiring and junction boxes
for any wire connections. The fan can be installed anywhere in the ducting –
either on the intake side or the exhaust side, and either at the beginning or
the end of the ducting.
50’ (2 x 25’) of insulated 6” ducting.
