Wine Guardian Ducted Wine Cellar Cooling Systems

A grille on the cellar wall connects through insulated flexible ductwork to a self-contained unit installed outside the wine room. That single unit houses the evaporator, fans, compressor, condenser, and controls, so no cooling equipment sits inside the cellar.

The unit installs outside the wine cellar, such as a closet, basement, attic, or mechanical room, and connects by insulated ductwork. This keeps equipment and noise out of the wine room. Confirm placement and heat rejection with a qualified professional.

Wine Guardian ducted systems range from 1,000 to 15,680 BTU per hour. Correct sizing depends on cellar volume, insulation, glass area, and ambient temperature, so confirm capacity with Wine Guardian's sizing calculator and a qualified HVAC professional.

An air-cooled ducted unit rejects heat into the surrounding air where it is installed. A water-cooled unit rejects heat to a water loop instead, which suits installations where there is no good place to discharge warm air.

A duct split system separates the condensing section from the evaporator so the condenser can be located remotely. This helps in tight or sound-sensitive spaces where a single cabinet will not fit.

Wine Guardian ducted units are designed for a simple install: connect the ductwork, make the drain connection, and plug it in, with no cutting copper. A licensed contractor is not required on site, but confirm ductwork, drain, electrical, and heat rejection with a qualified professional.

Yes. A Wine Guardian humidifier attaches directly to the ducted system, and the remote interface controller uses air-sensing technology to monitor both temperature and humidity in the cellar.
