The Through-the-Wall Wine Guardian cooling system is a professional grade, self-contained climate
control system designed specifically for the storage of wine at cellar temperatures. It is designed for
easy installation and operation. Wine Guardian uses digital electronic controls and environmentally
friendly R-134a refrigerant. The entire system is run-tested at the factory and shipped as a single
package. All components are of a high quality standard commercial grade. The entire system is
approved by ETL (Equipment Testing Lab) according to UL (Underwriters Laboratory) 484 and
CSA (Canadian Standards Association) safety standards. All wiring complies with NEC (National
Electrical Code). Each system is factory installed with a sealed, UL-approved power cord and plug,
that can be mounted on either end of the cooling system. Wine Guardian products are made in the
USA.
The Wine Guardian Through-the-Wall system is completely self-contained and includes an integral
air cooled condenser. The system is functionally divided into two sections, the evaporator or cooling
section, and the condenser or heat rejection section. Each section contains a coil to add or remove
heat and a fan to move the air through the coil and into or out of the cellar or adjacent space.
Air from the cellar first enters the cooling coil. Air passes through the cooling coil and is cooled by
the refrigerant inside the coil. This causes any excess humidity in the air to condense and be cap-
tured in the drain pan and internally evaporates as it comes in contact with the integral condensate
removal coil. Air then enters the fan where it is pressurized and discharged out of the system. The
thermostat, located on the system, or through the optional remote interface controller, turns the
cooling on and off as needed to maintain its set point.
The compressor and condenser section are activated whenever the system is cooling. The con-
denser fan draws air from the surrounding or ambient space. The air flows through the condenser
coil where it absorbs heat from the refrigerant in the coil. The air is finally discharged out of the
system by the condenser fan, and can be ducted ouside or to an unused space by an optional
condenser duct kit.
CAUTION
The air exhaust from the condenser fan is warm and can be 20 degrees F
above the entering air temperature.
