Overview of the CellarMate Unit

Cabinet

The cabinet and access doors are constructed of aluminum with a powder coated finish for
corrosion protection 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 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 a impeller 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. The electric heating coil, if
ordered, is factory installed between the evaporator coil and the blower, and is complete with
contactor(s) and limit controls.

Electrical Controls

The electrical components and controls are located in a separate area accessible through the
condenser section. All wiring is in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Wires are
numbered and color coded to match the wiring diagrams.

Filters

Nominal 1" thick filters are provided on both the evaporator and condenser inlets to protect
the coils from dust and dirt. These filters are washable and reusable.

Refrigerant Circuit

The factory-charged circuit includes an adjustable thermal expansion valve with an external
equalizer, sight glass with moisture indicator, a filter dryer, an automatic low pressure
switch, and a manually reset high pressure switch. For the low ambient option, an automatic
pressure switch controls the operation of the condenser blower and a heating element is
added to the compressor oil reservoir.

Supply/Return Grilles

Powder-coated steel single direction grilles are provided for the inlets on the evaporator and
condenser sections. One grille is provided on an outlet. These are readily interchangeable
with access panels to control and direct the air flow.
