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. 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. Minimum clearance of 8 inches is required behind the cooling unit.
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 requires
sufficient clearance behind and to the sides of the rear of the cooling unit.
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 options that are designed to duct the HOT air exhaust and fresh air
return on indoor CellarPro 1800 cooling units, including:
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 always should be installed on the exhaust
side of the ducting
, in the same direction as the airflow (ie away from the cooling
unit).
50’ (2 x 25’) of insulated 6” ducting (included with duct kits, but not duct
hoods).
