Legend
The table is shaded to show how the 4200 cooling unit will work at 55°F using various fan speeds under various thermal loads. The thermal loads are derived from assumptions about the size of the cellar; the R-value in the six cellar surfaces (ie walls, floor and ceiling) and the ambient temperature outside the cellar, as follows:

  • The light-shaded numbers represent thermal loads that are within the capacity of the cooling unit at the low fan speed
  • The medium-shaded numbers represent thermal loads that are within the capacity of the cooling unit at the medium fan speed
  • The dark-shaded numbers represent thermal loads that are within the capacity of the cooling unit at the high fan speed
  • "X" indicates conditions that are beyond the capacity of our 4200 Series cooling units

Summary
CellarPro 4200 wine cooling units are designed to maintain 55°F temperatures in wine cellars up to 1000 cubic feet with adequate insulation, and can be operated with the condenser exposed to conditions up to 115°F. For more information, click on our 4200VS performance and test data.

Please note:   The thermal loads above are calculated based on the R-Values shown for all walls, floor and ceiling. Lower R-Values in the cellar (eg from glass doors) will increase the thermal load on the wine cellar and will require the cooling unit to operate at higher fan speeds. Warmer climates require higher insulation to enable the cooling unit to operate at lower fan speeds. To be certain that the thermal load won't exceed the capacity of the cooling unit, email your wine cellar specifications to us and we'll be glad to assist you.

(1) For reference purposes, the calculated BTUH at 55°F for Breezaire WKL 4000 is 3351 and WhisperKool XLT 4200 is 3084.
