WINEZONE SPLIT AIR WINE SYSTEMS

   Wine 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.
   Each of our wine cellars refrigeration systems maintain these ideal conditions, gracefully ageing your wines, then keeping them at their peak for years to come.

EXTREMES - Nothing is more detrimental to your wine than rapidly changing 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. 

TYPES OF WINE COOLING SYSTEMS

      SPLIT REFRIGERATION (Longest Lasting System +20 years)
     -   Size determined by cubic volume & doing a heatloss calculation.
     -   The evaporator and condenser housings are split or separated.
     -   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.

       DUCTED SPLIT AIR SYSTEM
      -   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.

       SELF CONTAINED AIR HANDLER SYSTEM
      -   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 to find out more about each refrigeration system.

OUR WINEZONE SPLIT AIR SYSTEMS

   Starting at 2800 BTU's, the Wine Zone Split Air System is what you want in refrigeration for wine cellars. Unlike other lesser systems these units are designed to last.

These systems usually work for 15+ YEARS instead of 3-10 years for most regular systems. Systems come with standard wall mount evaporators.

Standard Indoor Condenser
(25"L x 20"W x 14-1/2"D)


Available Outdoor Condenser Upgrade
(27"L x 20"W x 20"D)
Upgraded rugged louvered outdoor condensers are a recommended upgrade option.

**Standard basic systems include an interior wall mounted evaporator, an indoor compressor/condenser, 50 ft. of linesets,and a Honeywell FocusPRO5000 electro-magnetic thermostat.***
System uses R-22,NU-22B,MO99 or R-247A Refrigerants.

WZ Wall Mount Evaporator

(31-3/4"W x 11-7/16"H x 7-1/8"D)
