OUR Split Air Systems


   THEY MAY LOOK LIKE OUR SYSTEMS BUT THEY DEFINITELY ARE NOT!



Many manufacturers use some of the same components when building split systems. However, it's how and what you do in building perfectly designed complete packages for the wine cooling industry that matters. OURS ARE BUILT TO STAND THE TEST OF TIME! Beware of manufacturers that use compromised expansion valves. This practice utilizes oversized compressor/condensers with freon flow restrictions thus causing a major system imbalance. The resulting mess, compressors running very hot, and ultimately destroying the system.

      Starting at 2600 BTU's, the Wine Care Split Air System is the ultimate in refrigeration for wine cellars. The Split Air Condenser is located outside the wine cellar. Standard split refrigeration units are designed to remove excessive humidity but they cannot introduce humidity unless special controllers with humidifiers are integrated into this system.
The split air system is the recommended unit for all high temperature environments. In many cases where there is a great temperature differential during the daytime hours, the split air system is the only way to go. We recommend you seriously consider this option and install our outside louvered condenser option. These systems usually work for +15 YEARS instead of 3-5 years for most regular systems. Obviously, there has to be a reason.


Available Outdoor Condenser Upgrade

**Standard basic systems include an interior ceiling mounted commercial evaporator which sounds like an air conditioner on high,
an indoor compressor, and a Honeywell T8400 electro-magnetic thermostat.***
Upgraded wall mounted evaporators and rugged louvered outdoor condensers are a recommended upgrade option.

   Wine Cellar Cooling & Storage began in the underground caves of Europe.  These caves provided the consistent storing conditions that allowed wine to age at an elegant pace.  By convention, these conditions have become the standard for modern wine cellars:  55-58 degrees and 55-65% relative humidity.
Our wine cellar refrigeration systems maintain these ideal conditions, gracefully aging your wines, then keeping them at their peak for years to come.

EXTREMES - Nothing is more detrimental to your wine than extreme heat or cold. 

  • DAILY CHANGES-  As the temperature rises, your bottle of wine expands; but, the wine expands up to seven times more than the glass bottle. This process creates pressure, which forces wine out of the bottle. When the bottle cools a vacuum forms, which sucks oxygen rich air into the bottle.  Ullage is the oxygen free air within the bottle.  Unregulated, rapid temperature fluctuations prematurely age and deteriorate your wine. 

  • HUMIDITY - 55-65%  is the ideal humidity range for stable wine aging.  Humidity levels of 80% or higher will cause mold to form and rot the labels.  Lower levels will increase the amount of ullage forming in the bottle and will dry-out the glue beneath the label. 

    WINE BREATHES- Wine breathes through the cork and ages in the process. Environmental changes (fluctuations in temperature and humidity) accelerate the aging process. Excessive oxidation causes the wine to become bitter, as it would in a glass overnight.  Wine requires oxidation to mature; but, it must be regulated to assure adverse conditions do not affect the aging of your wine.  The pace of breathing is faster at higher temperatures and slower at lower temperatures. 

        B.  Split Refrigeration
         -   Size determined by doing a heatloss calculation.
         -   Same basic principals as above except that the evaporator and condenser are split.
         -   The evaporator coil is physically in the room, while the condenser is usually placed outside or in another conditioned room
         -   This system requires a permanent drain.
         -   The only thing needed between the two units is copper tubing for the liquid line and suction line (specs contingent on sizing).

         C.  Air Handler Systems
          -   Size determined by doing a heatloss calculation.
          -   Same basic principals as above except that this system is completely ducted.
          -   Similar in principal to central air conditioning.
          -   Has the capability of being able to physically control the humidity by adding a humidifier and a dehumidifier.
          -   Also has the ability to add a temperature/humidity alarm.
          -   Duct sizing and number of ducts depends on size of unit, and the "throw feet" rating of the grills used.

         D.  WCI Self Contained Unit
          -   Air Handler and indoor condenser all in one package.
          -   Supply and return air is ducted to and from machine.
          -   Drain for excess condensation needed.
          -   Has the ability to add humidification and dehumidification.


    The cool temperature and consistent humidity, that our systems maintain, keep your wines at their peak.
    These proper conditions will allow you to enjoy them for years to come.  Please "click" on the links below
