DUCTLESS SPLIT · Wine Wall

CS050 Wine Wall Cooling System for Cellars up to 2,200 Cubic Feet

The CS050 Wine Wall cooling system is a Wine Guardian ductless split unit for wine walls and glass-front displays of 250 to 2,200 cubic feet, published at 1,000 to 4,050 BTU rated at 80°F ambient and designed to integrate flush with the wine wall ceiling. Wine Guardian states that measurement condition on its ductless split family page rather than on the CS050 model page.

The volume band is what separates this system from the smaller CS025 Wine Wall. Wine Guardian publishes the CS025 for 100 to 1,200 cubic feet and the CS050 for 250 to 2,200, so once a wine wall or glass display passes roughly 1,200 cubic feet the CS050 is the unit in this line that is still rated for the room. Both mount the same way; the difference the buyer is choosing on is the size of the space, not the look of the installation.

The system holds long-term storage conditions of 55°F to 58°F and can control down to 45°F for serving, with a Serving Temperature option covering 42°F to 64°F. Durable evaporator materials include an all-aluminum chassis and grille and coated coils, the grille removes without tools, and the matched condenser installs away from the display. As an authorized Wine Guardian dealer we list the CS050WW to Wine Guardian's published specifications; installation is licensed HVAC work, and final sizing should be confirmed with Wine Guardian documentation and a licensed HVAC professional.

Fit Check

Is the CS050 Wine Wall Right for Your Cellar?

The CS050 Wine Wall is right for a wine wall or glass-front display of 250 to 2,200 cubic feet that needs the cooling equipment hidden flush in the ceiling. Below 250 cubic feet, or above 2,200, Wine Guardian points to a different system, and a room that needs the unit recessed between ceiling joists is a ceiling mount job rather than a wine wall one. Because a glass-front display gains far more heat than an insulated wall, the heat, condensation and UV problems a glass cellar creates are worth settling before the unit is specified.

✓ Ideal For

  • Wine walls and glass-front displays of 250 to 2,200 cubic feet, the band above what the CS025 Wine Wall is published for
  • Rooms where no equipment may be visible and the fan-coil must sit flush with the wine wall ceiling
  • Installations where ductwork cannot be run and a split with a remote condenser is the only practical route
  • Collections stored at 55°F to 58°F, with serving control down to 45°F when it is wanted

✕ Consider Another Model If

  • The display is 100 to 1,200 cubic feet, where the CS025 Wine Wall is the published match and the CS050 is more capacity than the room calls for
  • The unit has to sit recessed in a ceiling cavity rather than flush in a wine wall, which is the ceiling mount configuration
  • The room is larger than 2,200 cubic feet, which is past the published range of this system
  • Humidity has to be actively raised, since no humidity specification is published for this system
Key Features

CS050 Wine Wall Key Features

The CS050 Wine Wall's defining features are a fan-coil that integrates flush with the wine wall ceiling, a grille that both delivers and returns the air, and a matched remote condenser that keeps the compressor out of the room.

Feature What it means for your cellar
Ductless split design The fan-coil and the remote condenser install in separate locations and connect by refrigerant lines, so the wine wall needs no ductwork at all.
Flush ceiling integration The system was designed to integrate flush with the ceiling of a wine wall so that no obtrusive equipment is visible in the display.
Integral supply and return sections The grille delivers air to the wine wall through its own integral supply and return sections, so no separate diffusers intrude on the design.
Easy access grille The grille requires no tools to remove, which keeps routine service inside the room rather than sending the unit away.
One-person hinge design An innovative hinge design allows simple one-person installs, which matters when the fan-coil sits overhead in a finished wine wall.
All-aluminum chassis and coated coils Durable evaporator materials including an all-aluminum chassis and grille and coated coils resist corrosion in a humid wine environment.
Matched Wine Guardian condenser The condensing unit is engineered by Wine Guardian to pair with this fan-coil, so the two sides are matched rather than field-combined.
Long-term storage control The system holds long-term storage conditions of 55°F to 58°F, the band a collection is cellared at rather than served at.
Serving temperature capability The CS050 can control down to 45°F, and the Serving Temperature option extends the controllable range to 42°F to 64°F.
Low-ambient protection Low Ambient Protection guards the system below 40°F. The Extreme Climate Protection Bundle is offered as a separate option; Wine Guardian scopes the temperature figures printed beside that bundle to its Ducted Split systems rather than to this ductless unit, so confirm cold-weather limits with Wine Guardian and a licensed HVAC professional.

Note on options: the Remote Interface Controller and Thermostat and the freestanding humidifier are offered separately rather than supplied with the system.

How Quiet Is It

How Quiet Is the CS050 Wine Wall?

Why a Ductless Split Keeps a Wine Wall Quiet

Wine Guardian does not publish a decibel rating for the CS050 Wine Wall, so no dB figure is quoted here. What can be said from the system architecture is that the compressor never runs inside the wine wall: this is a ductless split, and only the fan-coil sits in the ceiling of the display.

  • The condenser installs in a separate location, which takes the compressor noise out of the room entirely.
  • The fan-coil in the wine wall ceiling is an air handler, with fan motors rated at 85 (x2) W and 190 CFM.
  • No ductwork is run to the wine wall, so there is no duct-borne noise path to treat.
  • Where the condenser goes is the decision that governs audible noise; a licensed HVAC professional should place it.

How the CS050 Wine Wall Cooling System Compares

The CS050 Wine Wall and the CS025 Wine Wall install identically and differ on the size of room each is published to hold, which is the factor the choice actually turns on.

Decision factor CS050 Wine Wall CS025 Wine Wall
Cellar volume served 250 to 2,200 cubic feet 100 to 1,200 cubic feet
Published capacity range (rated at 80°F ambient) 1,000 to 4,050 BTU 400 to 2,755 BTU
Ductwork required None. Ductless split, fan-coil plus remote condenser None. Ductless split, fan-coil plus remote condenser

Best for / not ideal for: choose the CS050 Wine Wall if the wine wall or glass display runs 250 to 2,200 cubic feet, which is past what the CS025 is published to hold; choose the CS025 Wine Wall if the display runs 100 to 1,200 cubic feet, where the CS050's higher published minimum is more capacity than the room needs. Neither is the right choice if the unit has to sit recessed in a ceiling cavity instead of flush in a wine wall, which is the ceiling mount configuration. Confirm the final selection with a licensed HVAC professional.

Frequently Asked Questions

CS050 Wine Wall Questions

Will the CS050 Wine Wall cool a wine wall the CS025 cannot?
Yes, within the ranges Wine Guardian publishes: the CS050 Wine Wall is published for 250 to 2,200 cubic feet, while the CS025 Wine Wall is published for 100 to 1,200 cubic feet. Above roughly 1,200 cubic feet the CS050 is the wine wall unit in this line, though final sizing should be confirmed with a licensed HVAC professional.
Does the CS050 Wine Wall need a licensed contractor to install?
Yes. It is a ductless split, so refrigerant lines are connected and charged in the field; Wine Guardian's quick start guide specifies 66 oz of total charge for a 25 ft line set, of which 50 oz is added on site. That is licensed HVAC work, and it also keeps the manufacturer warranty intact.
What size electrical circuit does the CS050 Wine Wall need?
The fan-coil is supplied at 115/1/60 and the condenser at 208-230/1/60. Minimum circuit ampacity, overcurrent protection and any electric heat option are not published on this page; confirm them against the Wine Guardian specifications sheet and with a licensed electrician before wiring.
Does the CS050 Wine Wall control humidity on its own?
Wine Guardian publishes no humidity specification for this system, so it should be treated as a temperature system. Where a wine wall needs added moisture, a separate freestanding Wine Guardian humidifier is offered and is sized with the room.
How much cooling capacity does the CS050 Wine Wall provide?
Wine Guardian publishes a maximum capacity of 4,050 BTU/h for the CS050 Wine Wall, over a range of 1,000 to 4,050 BTU. Wine Guardian rates ductless split cooling capacity at 80°F ambient, stated on its ductless split family page.
Where does the CS050 Wine Wall install?
The fan-coil integrates flush with the ceiling of the wine wall so that no obtrusive equipment is visible, and the matched condenser installs in a separate location connected by refrigerant lines. The grille itself delivers and returns the air.
Is the CS050 Wine Wall covered by a warranty?
Wine Guardian's standard warranty runs 25 months on parts and 13 months on labor. The Platinum warranty runs 25 months on parts and 25 months on labor and adds a 36-month parts-only extension on the compressor, evaporator coil and condenser coil. Warranty and service are handled by Wine Guardian.
