The Importance of Proper Ventilation in Wine Cooling Systems

Cooling Unit and Proper Ventilation

HVAC cooling units generate a large amount of heat. Our cooling systems are designed to cool the air in the cellar while simultaneously exhausting heat into the adjacent room. As the unit cools the cellar by absorbing heat from the air the condenser must eject the heat created during operation. It is important that the heat is dissipated effectively from the unit in order to maximize performance. The majority of cooling unit problems are due to a lack of proper ventilation. 

Some of the ways you can ensure your cellar environment has proper ventilation are as follows: 

1. Door Ventilation 

2. Ceiling Ventilation 

3. System Ducting Kits 

4. Adequate Space/Conditioned Surrounding Environment 

Having the above ventilation techniques will help ensure proper operation and increase the longevity of the WhisperKOOL system.

Door Ventilation

Door vents are installed on both exterior and interior doors to provide a simple and smart addition to strategically improve indoor air quality, air circulation, and heating and cooling efficiency, as stated by Jorge A. Quintana in Benefits of Door Vents and What You Need to Know. The most common cause of unequal pressure between rooms is poor installation or doors that are too close to floors. Quintana also mentioned that in most airtight rooms air can often become trapped with airborne bacteria leaving the air stale.  Door vents work by equalizing the pressure between rooms by allowing stale air to escape through the vent while fresh air enters through it. This effectively reduces or eliminates hot or cold spots in certain rooms.

Ceiling Ventilation

A ceiling ventilation fan is a device that mounts to a ceiling and connects to ductwork to ventilate indoor spaces. Ceiling vent fans use a variety of moving components to circulate air. They act like natural ventilation systems, reducing airborne contaminants and helping you breathe more comfortably by pulling fresh air and exhausting stale air. According to the website, HomeClick How Bathroom Exhaust Fans Work it is mentioned that the fan works by pulling the air up through the downward vent, which causes it to circulate throughout your room. As the air circulates, it removes moisture and odors out of the room and expels them into the ductwork. The air then exits through either the roof or overhanging soffit. 

System Ducting Kits

Our system ducting kits are designed to relocate unwanted heat from the exhaust of our SC PRO Series.

Ducted Split Systems split the cooling system in two, where the condenser can be placed in a space better suited for heat and noise dissipation, while the evaporator is ducted near the cellar. This also keeps your wine cellar quiet and vibration-free.

Adequate Space/Conditioned Surrounding Environment

When it comes to the longevity of your WhisperKOOL wine cellar cooling unit, it is important that you have adequate space around your wine cellar cooling unit. Without it, an overheating issue could occur and affect its performance over time. An overheating issue would be caused by an inadequate exhaust-air environment, which could result in higher than normal temperatures inside the wine cellar. This would result in decreased efficiency over time, causing loss of product quality and possible damage to the cooling unit itself.
