Large Wine Cellar Cooling Units: 2,200 to 4,500 Cubic Feet

Wine Guardian Cooling Units for Cellars of 2,200 to 4,500 Cubic Feet

The Wine Guardian units on this page are sized for wine cellars of roughly 2,200 to 4,500 cubic feet. At this size the choice is no longer whether to duct, but where to put the equipment: every unit here is ducted, ducted split or water cooled, so the condenser and the noise can live in a mechanical room, a garage or a basement instead of next to the wine.

What Fits a Cellar of 2,200 to 4,500 Cubic Feet

• 050 class, rated by Wine Guardian at 650 to 3,000 cubic feet: the ducted D050, the water-cooled D050WC, the ducted split DS050, and the Pro DP50, DP50WC and SP50.
• 088 class, rated by Wine Guardian at 850 to 4,500 cubic feet: the ducted D088, the water-cooled D088WC, the ducted split DS088, and the Pro DP88, DP88WC and SP88.

Water-cooled models exist for a specific reason: when there is nowhere acceptable to reject heat into the air, they reject it into a building water loop instead. They need that loop to exist, so treat them as a plumbing decision rather than a cooling upgrade.

Where These Cubic-Foot Figures Come From

Both ranges on this page are published by Wine Guardian for the 050 and 088 classes directly. No calculator-derived figures are used in this collection.

This guidance is general and intended to help narrow the selection. Final sizing, installation design, electrical requirements and configuration should be confirmed with Wine Guardian's official documentation and a licensed HVAC professional or qualified contractor.
