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 85°F. Therefore, you want to exhaust the unit in a room which will not
exceed 85°F, preferably at 75°F, otherwise the unit will not have the capacity to keep the wine at a desirable 55°F.

Ventilation
The necessity of dissipating heat away from the unit is critical to the unit’s performance and cannot be overstated. As
the unit operates and cools, a greater amount of heat is generated on the exhaust side of the unit. Adequate ventila-
tion is required in order to dissipate heat away from the unit. If ventilation is inadequate, the exhaust will heat up the
area or room and adversely affect the unit’s ability to cool. In some cases, it may be advisable to install a vent fan to
dissipate heat within the exhaust area on the backside of the unit. However, you must have a fresh air inlet as well.
Note:
If you are unsure about having adequate ventilation in your install location, please
contact us to assess your specific installation at [email protected] or 1.855.235.5271.
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.
Drain Line
All units come with a drain line for additional removal of excessive condensate. This is a back up system to the
Condensate Evaporator. It is mandatory to install the drain line attachment. During operation, the cooling unit will
strip excess water from the air in order to maintain the proper level of humidity within the cellar. The Condensate
Evaporator will heat and dissipate the excess moisture through the rear of the unit. However in extreme humidity,
additional condensate will be created. Conversely the high humidity air has less capacity to absorb additional
moisture through the exhaust of the unit. Thus the drain line will prevent overflow and leaking by allowing for
discharge of the additional condensate. CellarCool carries a condensate pump kit, which allows the excess condensate
to be pumped up to 20 ft. away from the unit.
