Split Systems Ducted Evaporators In-Cellar Evaporators Condensing Units   Split System Overview Wine Cellar Cooling All refrigeration systems consist of three main components; the evaporator, condenser, and controls. Wine cellar cooling systems fall into two types, packaged, and split systems. Packaged systems are self contained, where all three components are housed together. CellarTec offers three manufacturers, WhisperKool, Koolspace, and Aquacool. The most common type of wine cellar cooling is a split system. A split system refers to the evaporator and the condenser being “split” apart, with the condenser located out of doors, or in a large open space (like a garage, basement or mechanical room) and the evaporator being located in or near the cellar. A split system offers many size-and-feature options, and has multiple advantages over a packaged unit. Split System Key Points Commercial grade equipment sized by in-house manufacturers and independent engineers. Designed using UL listed components from major commercial manufacturers such as Copeland, Heatcraft, and Magicaire. Extensive testing for peak performance. Can be mounted in the cellar or ducted in from an adjacent space. Includes custom engineered condensor, and an in-cellar fan coil or ducted air handler. Optional wine cellar monitoring service. © 2005-2008 Apex Wine Cellars | CellarTec Services: (888) 999-9749 x 242 or email, M-F 7:00am to 4:00pm Pacific Time
