Refrigeration lines and a drain line are used to connect the condensing component of the refrigeration system to the evaporator coil that is located inside the wine storage space.
A refrigerant line set consists of flexible tubes, or rigid copper, that are used to transport Freon to the cooling system, while a drain line is responsible for drawing off the liquid formed during the dehumidifying process.
Since the condensing unit of the split wine cellar refrigeration system is placed outdoors, it requires an outdoor kit to protect it against outside elements. Arctic Metalworks fabricated a sheet metal cover that will shield the refrigeration condenser from rain and other harmful elements. The unit also sits on a 24 x 24 air conditioning pad that helps keep it in place.
Wine Cellar Climate Control System – Condensing Unit Outdoor
It is important to install the condensing unit in a well-ventilated space (e.g. outdoors) since it produces a great deal of heat. Allowing the system to breathe prevents it from overheating and prevents compressor failure.
The entire split wine cellar climate control system can run on a 115V/20amp electrical receptacle.
The Arctic team also added a thermostat with a digital display. A thermostat allows the client to control and monitor the temperature of the wine cellar space.
After checking the cooling system for leaks, the Arctic team started the unit and charged it with R134a type refrigerant, which is an ozone-friendly substance.
A wine room that is outfitted with proper refrigeration equipment will certainly provide the best storage environment for wines. Regular wine cellar cooling maintenance and checkups ensure the optimum performance of the cooling unit and help prevent a major breakdown that could otherwise cause costly damage.
Quality Services Offered by Arctic MetalWorks
Arctic Metalworks is a California-based company that manufactures and provides commercial-grade heating and air conditioning, wine cellar refrigeration systems in Orange County, and commercial refrigeration.
They also specialize in wine cellar installation and renovation, as well as wine rack construction. The Arctic is committed to providing not only top-quality refrigeration equipment but also prompt, professional service.
Wine Cellar Refrigeration System Orange County
Aside from split wine cellar refrigeration systems, Arctic Metalworks also provides through-the-wall self-contained cooling systems and ducted self-contained refrigeration systems.
Through the wall, self-contained systems are the most affordable, and the easiest to install. These units are simply mounted on the wall, and vent through an adjacent room.
Ducted self-contained refrigeration systems are ideal for wine collectors who do not want the presence of any equipment inside the wine room. Air ducts are used to introduce cool air into the wine storage area, and exhaust warm air to the outdoors. This type of cooling system not only provides multiple installation options but also noise elimination.
