Features and Specifications 

 

  CELLARTEC split cooling systems CellarTec 1/4-3/4 Ton-SSD-WC are 

designed and used to provide a cold temperature between 50~65 

°

F for a 

properly insulated wine room at a normal environment.  

  The wine room will maintain humidity of 50~70% RH even when the 

environment becomes dry and humid. These temperatures and humilities 
are optimized for long term storage of wine.  

  SSD-WC units consist of a condensing unit and an evaporator unit, and 

they are connected by a liquid line and an insulated suction line. 

  SSD-WC condensing units are water cooled that will bring very quiet 

operation.  

  SSD-WC evaporator units provide two way air supply operation. The 

evaporator units can be installed on the ceiling in a wine cabinet or room. 

 

The dimensions and capacities are specified as follows:
