Wine Guardian D200 Ducted Cooling Unit for 1,500 to 7,000 Cubic Foot Cellars

The Wine Guardian D200 is a self-contained, air-cooled, fully ductable wine cellar cooling unit rated 15,350 BTU/h on a 208 V supply and 15,680 BTU/h on a 230 V supply, both at 80°F condenser inlet air, and published for wine cellars of 1,500 to 7,000 cubic feet.

Wine Guardian's stated basis for every ducted capacity figure is "Cooling capacity rated at 80°F ambient." The D200 appears on the ducted specifications sheet under two voltage columns, 208/1/60 and 230/1/60, and the rated output is not the same in both, so the figure that applies to a project depends on the supply the equipment space actually delivers. Wine Guardian publishes the model's overall capacity range as 8,000 to 15,680 BTU/h.

The D200 is sized for large residential cellars and for commercial storage rooms, restaurants and wine bars, the type of project worked through in our profile of a commercial restaurant wine room and how its climate control was specified. Because the unit installs outside the wine room and conditions it through insulated ductwork, the cellar stays quiet and uncluttered, with every inch of space free for storage. It holds a wine room at 55°F to 58°F and reports humidity, and it reaches 55% to 65% relative humidity when a Wine Guardian humidifier is added.

Every unit is supplied with a coated evaporator coil, a pre-wired and tested Wireless2Base remote interface controller for mounting in the cellar, an aluminum chassis with UL-rated composite panels, and Wine Guardian fail-safe protection. As an authorized Wine Guardian dealer we list the D200 with full manufacturer specifications so you can compare and size it correctly. Final sizing should be confirmed with the Wine Guardian cooling calculator and a licensed HVAC professional or qualified contractor.

Fit Check

Is the Wine Guardian D200 Right for Your Cellar?

The D200 is the right choice when the calculated heat load lands inside Wine Guardian's published 1,500 to 7,000 cubic foot range for the model and the unit can be mounted outside the wine room with duct runs short enough to serve it. That load is set by the room before it is set by the equipment, so our breakdown of wine cellar insulation R-values, materials and their effect on cooling load is worth reading while the walls are still open.

✓ Ideal For

  • Large residential and commercial wine cellars inside Wine Guardian's published 1,500 to 7,000 cubic foot range
  • High-capacity applications such as restaurants, wine bars and storage facilities
  • Projects where the unit is mounted outside the wine room and the equipment space stays at or below 90°F
  • Buildings with a 208 V or 230 V single-phase supply and room for a dedicated circuit

✕ Consider Another Model If

  • Your cellar is well under 1,500 cubic feet, where a smaller ducted unit matches the load more closely
  • Running ductwork is not possible, since a ductless split system suits that case better
  • The equipment space regularly runs above 90°F, because Wine Guardian does not publish D200 capacity above that condenser inlet condition
  • Ventilation is severely limited, where a water-cooled ducted configuration is the usual answer
Key Features

D200 Key Features

The D200 combines a one-piece ducted chassis, a remote-mounted controller and Wine Guardian fail-safe protection, so the equipment stays outside the cellar while conditions inside are held and monitored continuously.

Feature What it means for your cellar
Self-contained ducted design Evaporator, fans, compressor, condenser and controls sit in one unit outside the cellar, so the wine room stays quiet and clutter-free.
Air-cooled heat rejection Condenser heat is exhausted outdoors or into a space at least three times larger than the wine room, keeping the cellar itself undisturbed.
Dual voltage rating, 208 V and 230 V The same unit runs on either single-phase supply, at 15,350 BTU/h on 208 V and 15,680 BTU/h on 230 V at 80°F condenser inlet air.
Coated evaporator coil Protects the evaporator side against corrosion for durable performance over a long service life in a humid cellar.
Wireless2Base remote interface controller Supplied pre-wired and tested for remote mounting in the cellar; it sets temperature, reports humidity and can be placed in a kitchen, den or elsewhere.
Precision control, ±1°F and ±10% RH Holds wine-storage conditions of 55°F to 58°F, and reaches 55% to 65% relative humidity when a Wine Guardian humidifier is installed and enabled.
Aluminum chassis with UL-rated composite panels Resists dents and scratches during shipping and installation, and keeps the cabinet stable in an equipment room.
Field-serviceable, multi-panel access Panels, duct collars and grille remove with a couple of screwdriver turns, so service happens on site rather than at the factory. Allow 3 feet of clearance for that work.
Optional bundles and humidification All Wine Temperatures extends the setpoint band to 45°F to 64°F, Serving Temperature to 42°F to 64°F, and Extreme Climate Protection adds factory low and high ambient protection from 20°F to 95°F.

Built-in protection: the system continuously checks conditions through remote air sensing and adjusts before temperature or humidity drift can affect the collection.

How Quiet Is It

How Quiet Is the D200?

Wine Guardian does not publish a decibel rating for its ducted units, so there is no D200 dBA figure to quote; on a ducted system the dominant noise factor is placement, and the D200 installs outside the wine room and connects through insulated ductwork, which keeps the compressor and fans out of the space you occupy.

Why a Ducted Unit Keeps the Cellar Quiet

  • The unit sits in a utility room, closet or adjacent space, away from the cellar.
  • Internal components are mounted on rubber-in-shear isolators to reduce vibration and noise.
  • Flexible ductwork absorbs air noise, and sound drops further each time a duct run turns a corner.
  • Wine Guardian recommends a maximum cumulative 25 feet of flexible duct for supply and return combined, so plan the equipment location around that limit rather than around noise alone.

How the D200 Compares to the D050 and D088

The D200 is the largest self-contained ducted unit Wine Guardian builds, and the choice between it and the D088 below it comes down to the calculated heat load rather than to headline capacity.

Decision factor D050 D088 D200
Rated cooling at 80°F condenser inlet air 6,320 BTU/h at 115 V 9,420 BTU/h at 208 V; 9,600 BTU/h at 230 V 15,350 BTU/h at 208 V; 15,680 BTU/h at 230 V
Published cellar volume 650 to 3,000 cubic feet 850 to 4,500 cubic feet 1,500 to 7,000 cubic feet
Supply voltage 115/1/60 208-230/1/60 208-230/1/60
Typical application Mid-size residential cellar Large residential cellar Large residential and commercial cellar

Best for: choose the D200 when the calculated load runs past what the D088 covers, or the cellar is above roughly 4,500 cubic feet. Not ideal for: a cellar whose load sits inside the D088's 850 to 4,500 cubic foot band, or a building with only a 115 V circuit available, where the D050 is the unit that matches the supply.

If you are still choosing a configuration, compare the D200 against the rest of the Wine Guardian ducted cooling units, including the water-cooled and split variants. If the cellar size is what you are working from, the D200 sits alongside the other cooling units for commercial cellars of 4,500 to 7,000 cubic feet.

Frequently Asked Questions

D200 Questions

What electrical supply does the D200 need?
The D200 is rated 208-230/1/60 and draws 15.6 amps in cooling mode on a 208 V supply and 14.1 amps on a 230 V supply. Wine Guardian requires a dedicated circuit and wiring that meets national and local building codes, so take the minimum circuit ampacity from the Wine Guardian ducted specifications sheet and have a licensed electrician size the circuit and overcurrent protection.
Does the D200 produce less cooling on a 208 V supply than on 230 V?
Yes. At 80°F condenser inlet air Wine Guardian rates the D200 at 15,350 BTU/h on 208 V and 15,680 BTU/h on 230 V, a difference of about 2 percent. Confirm which supply the equipment space actually delivers before sizing, and have a licensed HVAC professional confirm the final selection.
How hot can the space around the D200 get?
Wine Guardian publishes D200 net cooling capacity at condenser inlet air of 60°F, 70°F, 80°F and 90°F, and prints N/A for the D200 at 110°F and 120°F, so as standard it is not rated for those conditions. The Wine Guardian ducted installation manual gives the safe operating range of the condenser inlet air temperature as 45°F to 95°F. Wine Guardian's Extreme Climate Protection bundle adds factory low and high ambient protection for temperatures from 20°F to 95°F.
How far from the wine cellar can the D200 be installed?
Wine Guardian recommends a maximum cumulative total of 25 feet of flexible ductwork for supply and return combined, including bends, and the D200 needs 12 in round duct as a minimum. Longer runs are handled with rigid duct and booster fans, which a qualified contractor should design.
How large a wine cellar will the D200 cool?
Wine Guardian publishes a range of 1,500 to 7,000 cubic feet for the D200, rated 15,350 BTU/h at 208 V and 15,680 BTU/h at 230 V, both at 80°F condenser inlet air. Final sizing should be confirmed with the Wine Guardian cooling calculator and a licensed HVAC professional or qualified contractor.
Does the D200 control humidity?
The controller reports humidity, but the D200 only holds 55% to 65% relative humidity when a Wine Guardian humidifier is installed and enabled in the controller settings. Without a humidifier the unit controls temperature and displays humidity rather than raising it.
Where does the D200 get installed?
The D200 sits outside the wine cellar, in a utility room, closet or adjacent space, and conditions the cellar through insulated ductwork. Condenser heat is exhausted outdoors or into a space at least three times larger than the wine room, and the installation needs 3 feet of service clearance and a condensate drain pitched 0.25 in per linear foot to an open floor drain or condensate pump.
What warranty covers the D200?
Wine Guardian's standard warranty runs 25 months on parts and 13 months on labor from the date of the original invoice. The Platinum option covers 25 months of parts and labor plus a 36-month parts-only extension on the compressor, evaporator coil and condenser coil, 61 months in total. Warranty, returns and service are handled by Wine Guardian.
