The WGTTW02B should be selected based on total cooling load rather than cellar size alone. Proper sizing depends on insulation values, vapor barriers, ceiling height, glass exposure, lighting, door construction, and surrounding ambient conditions.
The WGTTW02B installs directly through the cellar wall and does not require ductwork. Proper wall preparation and installation clearances are required.
This system should only be installed in a properly insulated and vapor-sealed wine cellar. Poor insulation, excessive glass, or air leakage will significantly reduce cooling performance.
The condenser side must receive adequate ventilation and operate within approved ambient temperature conditions. Restricted airflow will reduce cooling capacity and overall system efficiency.
This model operates on a standard 120V / 1 Phase / 60Hz electrical supply using a Type B plug configuration.
The included condensate evaporator helps manage moisture and reduce the need for a dedicated drain line in many installations.
The Defender configuration expands on the standard TTW platform by combining smart controls, sound reduction upgrades, extended operating ranges, and exterior-wall protection features for demanding wine cellar environments.
Designed to meet U.S. DOE efficiency standards while helping reduce operating costs.
Sound-reduction engineering minimizes operational noise and vibration.
Built-in safeguards help protect both the cooling system and cellar environment.
