Water-cooled wine cellar cooling units reject heat to a water loop instead of the surrounding air, so there is no warm air to exhaust. They are the right choice when the install space cannot easily shed heat, or when a water source is already available.
Water-cooled is available exclusively on Wine Guardian self-contained ducted systems and works with geothermal sources, cooling towers, and year-round water supplies. The page below explains how it works and which capacity fits your space.
Air-cooled systems have to dump heat into a nearby space. A water-cooled unit sends that heat into a water loop instead, which makes it a great solution for wine rooms where exhausting warm air is difficult or impossible.
It pairs naturally with a geothermal source, a cooling tower, or a year-round water supply, making it a strong fit for cold-climate and commercial projects.
Water-cooled capability is available exclusively on Wine Guardian self-contained ducted systems. They install outside the wine room and connect by insulated ductwork, keeping equipment and noise out of the cellar.
Installation stays simple, with no cutting copper and no licensed contractor required on site. The water connection points sit on the side of the unit for easy access.
Water-cooled systems were engineered with the installer in mind. An integral water regulating valve keeps operation efficient, and the main control board includes points to control geothermal pumps.
The water connections are on the side for easy access, and the system accepts water as cold as 45 degrees Fahrenheit and as warm as 85 degrees Fahrenheit. The remote controller monitors temperature and humidity around the clock.
