The Wine Guardian DP25WC water-cooled ducted wine cellar cooling unit is a self-contained system rated at 1,000 to 3,760 BTU/h on a single 115 V supply, which Wine Guardian recommends for spaces of 250 to 2,000 cubic feet and rates at 80°F ambient.
It is the water-cooled configuration of the Pro ducted DP25: the same self-contained cabinet with a factory-configured water-cooled condensing coil and water-regulating valve, so the heat leaves through a water loop rather than through a duct or a louvre. Wine Guardian states that warm condenser air connections are not required, which is the whole reason to specify this unit rather than the air-cooled DP25. It is built for a building that already has a loop: a geothermal source, a cooling tower, or another year-round water source.
Wine Guardian places the DP25WC in its Pro ducted line, which it rates for low-temperature conditioning from 52°F to 70°F rather than for wine storage alone. As an authorized Wine Guardian dealer we publish the manufacturer's own data for this model and say plainly which figures Wine Guardian does not publish for it, so the specification can be checked before a quote is requested. This guidance is general and intended to help narrow the selection. Final sizing, water supply, drain, electrical requirements and configuration should be confirmed with Wine Guardian's official documentation and a licensed HVAC professional or qualified contractor. The specification mistakes that most often surface on wine cellar projects are worth reading before that conversation starts.
See the Wine Guardian Pro ducted line and the cabinet the DP25WC is built on, then read the water-loop requirements below.
Questions about fit? Call our specialists at (800) 260-1712.
The DP25WC needs a year-round loop delivering water to the condenser between 45°F and 85°F. Wine Guardian gives that as the safe operating range of the condenser inlet water temperature in its Pro ducted installation and operation manual, and warns that if the water temperature entering the unit is above 85°F you risk tripping the high-pressure switch.
Wine Guardian builds these systems for geothermal sources, cooling towers and year-round water sources, and does not recommend a water-cooled system on a city water supply.
Wine Guardian does not publish a flow rate, a water-side pressure drop or a connection size against the DP25WC model code. Its Pro ducted specifications sheet carries a water-cooled condenser section, but that block prints its figures without model headings over the columns and the code DP25WC appears nowhere in the document, so nothing in it is reproduced here. Take those three figures from Wine Guardian directly and have the installing contractor confirm the loop can carry them.
The DP25WC fits a wine cellar or conditioned store of 250 to 2,000 cubic feet in a building that already has a year-round water loop, and where there is no good way to discharge warm condenser air. The cellar envelope still decides the load the loop has to carry away, and where a vapor barrier belongs in a cellar wall and which materials hold it is settled while the framing is open.
The DP25WC pairs the Pro ducted cabinet with a factory-configured water-cooled condensing coil, an integral water-regulating valve and copper straight tube connections placed on the side of the unit.
| Feature | What it means for your cellar |
|---|---|
| Water-cooled condenser, factory configured | The DP25WC rejects the cellar's heat into a water loop instead of into the surrounding air, so the mechanical space never has to absorb or exhaust that heat. Wine Guardian states that warm condenser air connections are not required. |
| Accepts water from 45°F to 85°F | Wine Guardian gives the safe operating range of the condenser inlet water temperature as 45°F to 85°F, which is wide enough for a geothermal loop, a cooling tower or a lake source across the seasons. |
| Integral water regulating valve | Wine Guardian fits a water regulating valve inside the unit for efficient system operation, so the loop is modulated by the machine rather than by a valve the installer has to add and balance. |
| Tie-in points for geothermal pumps | Wine Guardian's water-cooled ducted line page lists a main control board with tie-in points to control geothermal pumps, so the loop pump can start and stop with the cooling call instead of running continuously. |
| Copper straight tube water connections on the side | Wine Guardian places the water inlet and outlet on the side of the cabinet as copper straight tube connections, which keeps the plumbing reachable for service after the unit is set. |
| Self-contained ducted cabinet | Evaporator, fans, compressor, condenser and controls sit in one cabinet outside the cellar and connect through 8 in ductwork, so the wine room stays quiet and every inch of it stays available for storage. |
| Pro ducted tier | Wine Guardian places the DP25WC in its Pro ducted line, which it rates for low-temperature conditioning from 52°F to 70°F rather than for wine storage alone. |
| Optional humidification | The unit controls temperature and displays humidity. An integrated or freestanding Wine Guardian humidifier is what raises a cellar to 55% to 65% relative humidity. |
| Electric heat option | Wine Guardian’s DP25WC page states that the heater option protects wine cellars from dangerously low temperatures, with adjustable activation from 2°F to 6°F below your setpoint. It is ordered as a separate factory configuration of the same unit. |
Built-in protection: a high-pressure switch stops the unit rather than letting it run on water that has gone too warm, which is why Wine Guardian sets 85°F as the top of the entering-water range.
Wine Guardian publishes no decibel rating for any of its ducted units, so the honest answer is structural rather than a number. Two things work in the DP25WC's favour: the cabinet installs outside the wine room and connects through insulated ductwork, and because the condenser is water-cooled there is no condenser air stream to move or exhaust at all.
The Wine Guardian DP25WC is a 115 V, 60 Hz self-contained ducted unit with R-134a refrigerant, a water-cooled condenser and a rated capacity of 1,000 to 3,760 BTU/h. Wine Guardian rates cooling capacity at 80°F ambient.
On the suppressed rows: Wine Guardian's Pro ducted specifications sheet is headed for the DP25 and DP50 and carries no DP25WC column, and its water-cooled condenser section prints figures with no model headings over the columns. Its evaporator and condenser fan motor rows print identical figures, and the minimum-circuit and electric-heat figures are printed in combined cells that do not transcribe reliably. Rather than attribute a neighbouring column's number to this unit, those rows route you to Wine Guardian and to a licensed electrician.
On the capacity table: the performance ladder printed on the Pro specifications sheet is measured against condenser inlet air temperature and belongs to the air-cooled DP25. A water-cooled condenser has no inlet air, so that ladder is not reproduced on this page.
On the warranty: Wine Guardian's Pro ducted installation manual describes a two-year term, while its current standard and Platinum warranty documents give 25 months parts and 13 months labor. The warranty documents are the governing instruments and are what is published above.
Accessory availability and pricing are confirmed on each live product page. An integrated or freestanding Wine Guardian humidifier can be added to reach 55% to 65% relative humidity.
The DP25WC and the air-cooled DP25 are the same ducted cabinet answering the same room; the only question that separates them is where the heat is allowed to go. The DP50WC is the genuine capacity step up on the water-cooled side.
| Decision factor | DP25WC (this unit) | DP25 air-cooled | DP50WC water-cooled |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where the condenser heat goes | Into a water loop. Warm condenser air connections are not required | Into the surrounding air, which the space has to absorb and vent | Into a water loop |
| Rated capacity, at 80°F ambient | 1,000 to 3,760 BTU/h | 3,760 BTU/h | 2,700 to 6,320 BTU/h |
| Recommended space volume | 250 to 2,000 ft³ | 250 to 2,000 ft³ | 650 to 3,000 ft³ |
| What the building must supply | A year-round loop holding entering water between 45°F and 85°F | A ventilated space that can absorb and exhaust condenser heat | A year-round loop holding entering water between 45°F and 85°F |
| Unit weight | 80 lbs | 78 lbs | Published by Wine Guardian on the DP50WC page |
Best for / not ideal for: choose the DP25WC if the room is at or under about 2,000 cubic feet and the building already has a year-round loop that holds entering water between 45°F and 85°F, or if there is simply nowhere to send warm condenser air; choose the air-cooled DP25 if there is a ventilated space that can absorb that heat, since it needs no plumbing and no loop; choose the DP50WC if the room passes about 2,000 cubic feet. The DP25WC is not ideal where the only water is a metered city supply, which Wine Guardian does not recommend for a water-cooled system, or where the loop cannot hold 45°F to 85°F through the whole year.
