Split System Wine Cellar Cooling Units

Split wine cellar cooling units locate the condenser (the noisier component) outside of the wine cellar, typically in a place better suited for noise and heat dissipation, while the evaporator remains inside. The condenser and evaporator can be connected via copper tubing or aluminum ducting. Separating the condenser from the evaporator greatly reduces distracting noise and vibrations.

Split system wine cellar cooling units can be ducted, rack mounted, or ceiling mounted, offering more versatility to better fit wine cellar designs. Ideally, the evaporator is concealed in a louvered grill cover within the racking so no equipment is visible inside the wine cellar.  

Every wine cellar has specific requirements, including the size and type of wine cooling unit needed considering the size of the room, its location, the amount of glass utilized (for doors, walls, or windows), and the availability of an exhaust room. A licensed HVAC technician is required for proper installation of the wine refrigeration system.
