Directory of terms

• Ambient Air – The surrounding area outside the cellar such as a room,
basement, garage or outdoors.
• CFM – Cubic feet per minute. A unit of measurement for the amount of air
handled by the fan.
• Condensate / Condensation – The water formed out of the air when it is cooled
below a certain temperature (called dew point). Often referred to as "sweating"
on pipes and cold surfaces. This water collects at the bottom of the evaporator or
cooling coil and drains out of the unit through the drain line.
• Condenser (Heat Rejection) Section / Coil – The Condenser Section uses the
compressor, condenser coil and fan to remove heat from the refrigerant to the
ambient air outside the wine cellar. The word condenser refers to the
condensation of the refrigerant from gas to liquid phase.
• CE – Certificate of European conformity
• CSA/ETL – Canadian Standard Association/Electric Testing Laboratory
• Exhaust Air – The air leaving the evaporator or condenser section of the Wine
Guardian unit.
• Evaporator (Cooling) Section / Coil – The Evaporator Section uses the cooling
coil and the fan to remove heat from the air inside the wine cellar to the
refrigerant, cooling the air and condensing moisture out of the air. The word
evaporator refers to the evaporation of the refrigerant from liquid to gas phase in
the coil. The Evaporator Section is connected to or inside the wine cellar.
• Flexible Duct – Round ducts with steel reinforced plastic liners, a layer of
insulation and an outer plastic layer used to convey the air from the unit to the
cellar or ambient space.
• Grille or Diffuser – Inlet or outlet plates to direct the airflow or protect the inside
of the unit.
• Heat Gain / Loss – The amount of cooling or heating expressed in watts
transferred between the wine cellar and the ambient space. The Wine Guardian
must offset this load.
