If the cellar’s air intake comes from BEHIND the cellar, the cooling unit
will require 3-4” of unobstructed clearance behind the cellar; and 8-9”
of clearance above the cellar;
-
If the cellar’s air intake comes from the TOP of the cellar, the cooling
unit will require 18” of unobstructed clearance above and to both sides
of the cellar, unless:
1.
The hot air exhaust is ducted away from the cellar; or
2.
The hot air exhaust is evacuated via an exhaust fan.
•
Rear vent configuration: 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. This configuration requires 3-4” of unobstructed
clearance behind the cellar.
Under both configurations, access to the intake coils (either at the top or the back of
the cellar) is required for periodic maintenance.
It is critical to follow guidelines for recommended clearance so that the hot air
exhaust is properly dissipated, otherwise the hot air will become trapped and the
cooling unit will circulate its hot air exhaust, thereby compromising the cooling unit’s
cooling capacity.
•
Ambient Environment.
CellarPro cooling units are designed to operate in ambient temperatures between
50
°
F and 85
°
F.
CellarPro cooling units cannot maintain temperatures inside the cellar that are more
than 30
°
F below the ambient temperature in the space outside the condenser coils.
For example, if the ambient temperature in the space outside the condenser coils is
85
°
F, the cooling unit should be able to maintain temperatures of 55
°
F inside the
cellar.
CellarPro cooling units do not have heating elements, so if temperatures inside the
cellar drop below proper wine storage temperatures, the cooling unit cannot create
heat inside the cellar.

Cellar Capacity
The cooling capacity for each of our products is shown in the table below. These
capacities are estimates and are based on certain assumptions, including sufficient
