CAB018 Wine Cabinet Cooling Unit

The CAB018 is the only Wine Guardian system built to integrate directly into wine cabinets, displays, and showcases, delivering up to 2,100 BTU/h of self-contained cooling with an integral air-cooled condenser.

Because it is fully self-contained, the CAB018 needs no ductwork and no external drain line. It holds storage conditions of 55°F to 58°F and can be set for serving temperatures down to 45°F, making it popular in restaurants, bars, and clubs that rotate stock as well as in luxury residential cabinetry. It mounts at the top or bottom of the cabinet and is field-serviceable, with a Wireless2Base controller included.

As an authorized Wine Guardian dealer, Wine Guardian Dealer lists the CAB018 with full manufacturer specifications. The cooling unit does not come with a cabinet.

Installation

Mounts Top or Bottom, Stays Hidden

The CAB018 is fully self-contained, with an integral air-cooled condenser and no external drain line, so it installs at the top or bottom of the cabinet and disappears into the millwork.

Because everything is built into one unit, integration stays clean and simple. The cooling unit does not come with the cabinet.

How Quiet Is It

Designed to Hide in Furniture

Because the CAB018 is self-contained and built to integrate inside cabinetry, the compressor and integral air-cooled condenser are enclosed within the furniture. That keeps the mechanicals tucked away and operating sound discreet in living and commercial spaces.

  • Self-contained design tucks the mechanicals inside the cabinet.
  • Integral air-cooled condenser keeps components out of the room.
  • Mounts top or bottom to suit the installation and airflow.
