Features and Specifications 

 

  Wine-Mate  packaged  central-ducted  cooling  systems  WM-4500~12030DS  & 

WM-4500~12030DS-LA are designed to provide a cold temperature between 
50~65  °F  with  a  humidity  range  within  50~70%  RH  for  a  properly  insulated 
wine cellar. 

  These temperature and humidity ranges are optimized for long term storage 

of wine like that in natural caves. 

  It  is  self-contained  ready  for  use  and  no  additional  refrigeration  tubing  is 

required in the field. 

  The  cooling  systems  are  designed  to  provide  chilled  air  to  a  wine  cellar 

through  insulated  ducts  to  provide  quieter  operation  and  better  installation 
flexibility. 

  The  cooling  systems  can  be  installed  up  to  25  ft  away  from  the  cellar  since 

the back-curved impeller fans are so powerful to run a total duct length of 50 
ft. 

  The cooling systems can be installed both outdoors and indoors.

CAUTION 

If  the  cooling  unit  operates  below  50°F,  a  low  ambient 
condition kit will be required.

 

 

NOTE 

The  cooling  capacity  is  determined  using  55

F  cellar  ambient  temperature,  90

°

condensing  unit  ambient  temperature,  R13  interior  insulation 
and R19 exterior insulations. Higher ambient temperatures or 
lower  insulations  will  cause  reducing  capacity  and  the  cellar 
temperature may not be maintained at 55
