Water-cooled Condenser cooling systems need to be mounted in an area that will not go above 90F degrees (slightly higher for short periods is acceptable). jost applications require that the condenser exhaust be ducted out of the mounting area; some also require that conditioned air be ducted into the condenser section from a remote location. For applications where the area could still get over 90 degrees, our water-cooled condenser option will be needed. A 1/2" water line (3/4" for the 200 model) is all that is required for this option which does away with the condenser fan. "Leaving water" is clean, and is acceptable for sewer or makeup water. This option also used where unit sound could be an issue.
Low-Ambient: for installations where temperatures in mounting area could get down to 40 degrees or lower. Utilizes low-pressure switch and compressor crankcase heater.
Humidification: standard wine coolers will lower excess humidity; that's all they do, keep it from going over 70%. Given a good vapor seal in the wine cellar (required for every cellar), humidity will then fluctuate naturally between 50-70% with the standard systems; dry periods can produce slightly lower levels. Some customers wish to minimize this humidity fluctuation with our humidification option. Supplied with its own humidistat, the option will maintain humidity a bit below or above 60%. A 1/4" water supply and 1/2" drain line are all that this option requires; no additional power source needed. Easily field-installed.
Heater: for installations where the wine cellar could get down to 45F degrees or lower. No additional power source needed.
