Wine Guardian Environmental Control System
WineRacks.com is very proud to be a dealer of the Wine Guardian environmental control system. The Wine Guardian has been designed by environmental control experts to create the absolute optimum storage environment for your precious investment. Wine Guardian is the only wine cooling system that incorporates cooling, heating, filtration, humidification, ducting, internal safety devices and low ambient control as integrated solutions. The ductable Wine Guardian is the only system capable of ducting on both the evaporator and condenser side. The Through-the-Wall version can be ducted on the condenser side
Advantages of External Ducting
- Lower sound levels
- Virtually no vibration in the cellar
- Better air distribution and temperature control
- Flexibility of where to locate the unit
- Ability to exhaust the excess heat and/or recapture and redirect for energy conservation
- Greater flexibility in cellar design
- Easier to service
Wine Guardian Advantages
- All-aluminum frame and external construction, powder coated prevents corrosion and rust
- Powerful motorized impeller fans allow greater pressure capacity for external ducts on both cooling and heat exhaust sides and higher airflow capacities which improve humidification and temperature control (more air changes per hour) and results in better temperature distribution throughout the cellar.
- Filters on both coils protect the coils from dust and dirt, reduces costly maintenance and improves performance
- Greater installation flexibility and ease at lower cost
- Only cooling systems capable of being located inside, through-the-wall, outside or remote from the cellar - surface mounted, recessed, semi-recessed or ducted
- Hang from ceiling, sit on floor, platform or shelf, or wall mount
- Multiple discharge (supply) duct connections on both cool and warm air exhaust side
- Totally self-contained. No need to run refrigerant piping or install separate condensing unit, requires only one electrical connection
- Reliable alternative to large, expensive split systems
- Remote thermostat and humidistat with 25 feet of wiring for better control options
- Greater accessibility, easily removable panels without removing cooling unit from the mounting area
Professional quality
- Built to highest safety standards ( Underwriter's Laboratory) and certified by Environmental Testing Laboratories/Canadian Standards Association
- Only systems with commercial grade components like a refrigerant sight glass, filter-dryer and hand and low pressure limit switches to protect major components and improve serviceability. Ductable systems are furnished with a Thermal Expansion Valve to automatically control the flow of refrigerant to the cooling coil in direct response to the load. *sight glass and low pressure limit switches not available on Through-the-Wall systems
- Standard feature of on/auto for fan control allows choice of running the fan all the time to equalize temperatures or cycle on and off as needed
- Environmentally friendly refrigerant R-134a
- Automatic low pressure safety switch
- Manual reset high limit safety switch
- Made in the USA
- 24/7 hotline for information and assistance
More sizes, capacities, built-in options and accessories to choose from
- 1/4 ton through 2 ton capacities, 33000 BTU to 16,200BTU
- Low ambient control allows the unit to be installed in a garage or outside under cover where temperatures may be too cold for standard application. Condenser fan cycles to automatically control the head pressure and a heater maintains the oil temperature in the compressor.
- Five (5) Year extended compressor warranty
- Optional humidifier with electronic humidistat
- Heating coil works automatically with the cooling to prevent simultaneous operation. Factory installed.
- Through-the-Wall systems include EasyMount installation sleeve to facilitate through the wall placement
- Optional duct collars and flexible ducts to connect Wine Guardian to cellar. Sized to match capacity and outlets of each Wine Guardian size. Collars connect to the Wine Guardian unit and to the grilles; no need for additional wall grilles
- Optional condensate pump where gravity drains are not available
- Optional water-cooled condenser model on ductable systems rejects the heat output into the water instead of the surrounding air. Eliminates the condenser fan. ideal application is for make-up water to swimming pool.
