permanently lubricated, motorized impeller blower. This section also contains the compressor
and the electrical controls.
– Wine cellar air is circulated through the evaporator section by a direct drive,
Evaporator Section
permanently or lubricated motorized 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.
–All solid state electronic controls are connected internally and/or externally
