Overview of the Wine Guardian Unit

Refer to illustrations on page 10
Cabinet – The cabinet is constructed of aluminum with a powder coated finish for corrosion protec-
tion and an attractive, maintenance-free appearance. Areas in contact with cold temperatures are lined
with insulation to prevent condensation.
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.
Evaporator Section – Wine cellar air is circulated through the evaporator section by a direct drive,
permanently or lubricated motorized impellar blower. 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.
Electrical Controls –All solid state electronic controls are connected internally and/or externally
through a phone cord-type connection. There is no need to open the chassis to access the factory
mounted and wired control. All internal wiring is in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
Wires are numbered and color coded to match the wiring diagrams.
Factory Tested – All Wine Guardian systems are factory run-tested and checked for operational
performance.
Internal Drain Trap – Condensate from the evaporator coil fills the trap and forms a seal to prevent
air from being drawn back through the drain tube. This allows the drain pan to drain freely. No external
trap is required.
Refrigerant Circuit – The factory-charged circuit includes a capillary tube expansion device, a filter
dryer, and a manual reset high pressure switch. See Refrigeration Illustration on page
Supply/return grilles – These are made of rugged ABS plastic and factory mounted to automatically
seal to the chassis. Air is introduced through the sides and bottom and discharged through the front
perforated section.
Directional Louvers – Two directional louvers are located within the evaporator supply air dis-
charge opening on the Wine Guardian system and can be accessed by removal of the wine cellar side
faceplate. The louvers are designed to be manually adjusted to direct air flow from side-to-side or
straight on. The louvers can help direct cold air into the center of the wine cellar should the Through-
the-Wall system be mounted in a corner of the room.
