Features and Specifications 

 

  Wine-Mate duct packaged cooling systems WM-4500~8500DS are designed 

and used to provide a cold temperature between 50~65 °F for a properly 
insulated wine cellar.  

  The wine cellar will maintain humidity range within 50~70% RH. 

  These temperature and humidity ranges like in natural caves are optimized 

for long term storage of wine. 

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

in the field. 

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

through ducts and can be located up to 25 ft away for quiet operation. It also 
provides more installation flexibility. 

  The systems can be installed both outdoor and indoor. 

  Back-curved impeller fans are good for total 50 ft long duct.

NOTE: 
Capacity is determined under the cellar, the cellar ambient and the 
condensing unit ambient temperatures of 55

°

F, 75

°

F and 90

°

F, with R13 

interior and R19 exterior insulations. Any higher ambient temperatures, 
lower insulations will cause reducing capacity and the cellar temperature 
may not be maintained at 55

°

F. 

 

CAUTION: 
If the installation area will be below 50°F, purchase a low ambient condition 
kit.
