Component Overview - Wine Guardian DP50 Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Another popular option for the Wine Guardian ducted self-contained unit is a humidifier.
The humidifier is available as a freestanding unit powered by the Wine Guardian system
with its own power cord and humidistat or as an integrated unit, which bolts to the side
of any Wine Guardian ducted system. The Wine Guardian humidifier requires a water
supply and drain for operation. Please refer to the Humidifier Manual for Installation
Instructions.
Duct Collar Kits
Ducting for the Wine Guardian is sold in kits by size for each unit. Each kit contains two
adapter collars, one 25' (7.3 meters) length of round flexible duct and two straps. The
number of duct kits needed depends on the layout. The size of the kit depends on the
model Wine Guardian selected. Follow installation instructions carefully. Poorly or
incorrectly installed ducts can degrade the performance of your unit dramatically.
Extended Compressor Warranty
The Wine Guardian uses only the best commercially available compressors on the
market. However, since the compressor is the single most expensive component in the
unit, it is recommended that you purchase the extended warranty option.

Component Overview

Cabinet – The cabinet (outer housing) is constructed of aluminum with a powder-coated
finish for corrosion protection.
Condensing Section – Ambient air is circulated through the condenser section by a
direct drive, permanently lubricated, motorized impeller blower. This section also
contains the compressor and the electrical controls. If the water-cooled option is
purchased, a heat exchanger is used in place of the condenser coil and blower.
Evaporator Section – Cellar air is circulated through the evaporator section by another
blower, similar to the condensing section. The large evaporator-coil face area eliminates
condensate carry-over, reduces air pressure drop and optimizes heat transfer. A drain
pan is located directly below the coil to capture condensate and is fabricated from
aluminum to prevent rust and corrosion. The electric heating coil, if ordered, is factory
installed between the evaporator coil and the blower and is complete with contactors
and limit controls.
Electrical Controls – Most of the electrical components and controls are in a separate
area accessible on the side of the unit. All wiring is in accordance with the NEC. Wires
are numbered and color coded to match the wiring diagrams.
Filters – A nominal 1-inch-thick (25-mm-thick) filter is provided on the condenser inlet to
protect the coils from dust and dirt. This filter is washable and reusable.
