1.2.3 FLOOR INSULATION
The cellar floor must be able to support shelves and the wine stored on them.
You should therefore choose an insulating material with adequate compression
resistance for this part.
Manufacturers recommend appropriate insulation or materials designed specifically for
floor insulation, in their documentation.
Puncture resistance (feet of shelves in particular) is provided:
- by using "complex" insulation panels lined, on the upper surface, with a strong panel.
- by facing the insulation with a panel of chipboard (approx. 15 mm thick), or any other
suitable covering plaster and slab, for example).
1.2.4 THE DOOR
It is part of the continuity of insulation.
There are two possible solutions:
- to insulate the existing door using the same type as insulation as was used for the
cellar walls. Insert a seal such as foam, between the door panel and the frame, all
around the edge.
- use a FONDIS ISOTHERMAL DOOR, lined with polyurethane foam. It includes a seal
around its periphery, with a magnetic closure.
1.2.5 INSULATION OF OTHER ITEMS
A fridge or another appliance producing heat must not be placed inside the cellar.
For example, any hot water pipe going through the cellar must also be insulated.
2. Installing the Wine C50 IN in the wine cellar
Make sure you have chosen the best place for fitting the air-conditioner.
- chose the best place in order that the lengh of the flexible ducts are as short as possible,
- put the wine cellar on the ground or on his horizontal support,
- there should not be any obstacle in front of the ventilation grid, to facilitate air flow,
- the support or floor must be level and not transmit vibrations.
2.1 Drilling the wall
- Draw the grid’s site on the wall which divide the wine cellar to the reject indoor.
- Pierce 2 holes Ø 160 mm.
- Install the 2 grids in the wall.
- Connect the duct at the back of grids (§ 2.3).
- The seal between the ducts and the insulation must be filled (with polyurethane foam
for example).
