Overview

CellarPro 1800XTSx-EC Cooling Unit (P/N 1652). NOW WITH ENERGY-EFFICIENT EC FANS! CellarPro's 1800XTSx-EC cooling unit is the most powerful in its class, with maximum BTUH and cooling capacity for wine cellars up to 400 cubic feet*, and can be used in outdoor installations. 1800XTSx-EC units are 30% more powerful than CellarPro 1800XT units, and also louder.

All air-cooled refrigeration equipment requires fresh air intake to dissipate the heat generated by the cooling unit. The fresh air intake CANNOT come from the wine cellar space - it must come from space outside the cellar. Designed for outdoor installations, 1800XTSx-EC units can operate in environments ranging from 20F to 95F out of the box. To operate the unit in colder temperatures, please see modifications listed on the Options & Upgrades tab.

*Assuming R19 insulation throughout the cellar, 55F inside the cellar and 85F outside the cellar.

Details

1886 SENSIBLE BTUH @ 55F.
CellarPro's 1800XTSx-EC wine cooling units (1/5 Ton Nominal) were designed for outdoor installations and engineered to provide maximum cooling performance for small wine cellars up to 400 cubic feet.* Now with an energy-efficient EC fan on the cold side.

Starting with CellarPro's 1800XTS, we've added the following options and upgrades:

  • Dual hot-side fans for maximum air output
  • An outdoor hood to protect the rear of the cooling unit from rain.
  • Rear condensate drain line to channel excess condensate away from the cooling unit.
  • Compressor heater to protect internal components from damage in cold temperatures.
  • Power cord modification to allow the unit to be powered from inside the wine cellar.
  • Coated condenser coils to protect against outdoor pollutants and extend the unit's longevity.

Please note:

  1. The exterior hood must have at least five (5) inches of clearance on the rear side, and 18 inches of clearance below the cooling unit outside the cellar. In addition, the cooling unit requires at least eight (8) inches of clearance inside the cellar in front of the cooling unit (same as other 1800 cooling units.)
  2. This unit can be used in North America as well as in overseas markets
  3. Please note: Our units were not designed for, and our warranty does not cover damage from, marine exposure (within 5 miles of the ocean). In these environments, you will need an applied coating, such as Insitu®, to protect outdoor components against corrosion that is common in coastal regions.


Our cooling units are designed to be used in properly-constructed wine cellars that are adequately insulated, airtight and sealed with a vapor barrier. In improperly-constructed cellars, the cooling unit will create excess condensation, leading to damage and premature failure of your cooling unit (not covered by warranty).

Configurations

Configurations

  • On the hot side, this unit intakes from the rear, and offers a choice of top or rear hot exhaust.
  • On the cold side, this unit intakes from the front and exhausts from the bottom (thus the front 8 inches of the cooling unit must be inside the cellar.)
  • This unit is designed to vent hot exhaust to and pull fresh air intake from the rear of the cooling unit.
  • This unit was not designed to be ducted.
  • This unit includes a compressor heater for installation in environments down to 20F.

Filters & Grills

  • Use our filter & grill guide to find the cooling unit filter or duct filter and/or duct grill that is appropriate for your cooling unit.

Maintenance

  • Refer to filter replacements in the previous section.
  • Evap Fresh #17984: Should be sprayed on the evaporator (cold-side) coils once a quarter, especially when the evaporator coils frequently have condensation, to extend the life of the evaporator coils and to reduce the growth of mold in the drain pan.
  • Condenser Brush #1475 #1475: With a long handle and stiff bristles, the brush is ideal for cleaning off the dust and dirt that collect on the hot-side condenser coils, especially when a filter isn't used on the coils.

Remote Control & Probe

  • Remote Display #1603: lets you place the digital panel wherever you want, whether inside or outside the cellar. Includes 10 feet of wiring.
  • Bottle Probe #1434: this remote thermostat with a 10-foot cord overrides the thermostat on the face of the cooling unit, and allows it to monitor air or liquid temperatures at various locations inside the cellar.
  • Bottle Probe Extension Cords available in 25-foot (#1780) and 50-foot (#1781) lengths.
  • Mounting Clips #1095: attached to the front of CellarPro 1800 Series cooling units, these clips are designed to be bolted to the ceiling inside the wine cabinet / cellar.

Q&A

What is "Sensible BTUH"?

A: You should always use Sensible BTUH* when comparing different brands of cooling units, and when sizing a cooling unit for your wine cellar. Every cooling unit produces a certain amount of Total BTUH, which is the sum of Sensible BTUH (lowers the temperature) and Latent BTUH (lowers the relative humidity). Because our goal is to cool wine cellars while preserving humidity, wine cellar cooling units should have high Sensible BTUH and low Latent BTUH. The relationship between Sensible and Latent BTUHs is know as SHR (Sensible Heat Ratio), which is calculated as Sensible BTUH/Total BTUH. The SHR for CellarPro cooling units is greater than 90%, which means that CellarPro units provide maximum cooling power without stripping out humidity from the cellar environment.

*CellarPro Sensible BTUHs are calculated assuming 55F cellar temperature, 60% relative humidity and 95F ambient for all units except 1800 units (85F ambient).

How cold can the temperature be where the cooling unit is installed?

A: A compressor heater (P/N 1727) is included as standard equipment on all outdoor units, allowing the unit to be installed in temperatures down to 20F. Below 20F, in addition to the compressor heater, we recommend adding our fan cycling switch (P/N 6972)

Can the cooling unit be located in a remote location and ducted to/from the wine cellar?

A: These cooling units can be installed above the wine cellar when used with our front intake hood.

Does the unit need to be installed through the wall, or can I install the entire unit inside the cellar?

A: These cooling units are designed to be installed through-the-wall, with the hot side of the cooling unit exposed to the exterior, in temperatures ranging from 20F to 110F out of the box.

What if I don't have sufficient space behind the cooling unit for the hot air exhaust to dissipate?

A: The hot exhaust at the rear of the cooling units must have sufficient space to exhaust and dissipate, so that the unit does not recycle its own hot air.

Does the unit really need a dedicated circuit?

A: First, the background. Unlike our competitors, we build our cooling units with precision expansion valves, not cap tubes, which means that our cooling units aren't limited to a 30F differential between the desired cellar temperature and the ambient temperature. Cooling systems with expansion valves are much more precise than cap tubes, and much more sensitive to low voltage conditions, which is why our units require dedicated circuits. When we say "dedicated circuit", we mean that the circuit shouldn't have any items that require heavy draws of electricity - eg other appliances, vacuum cleaners, big-screen TVs, blow-dryers - on the same circuit as the cooling unit. Lighting, computers or other low-draw items shouldn't be a problem on the same circuit.

Do I need the condensate drain line?

A: If you are using the cooling unit in a sealed cabinet, you probably don't need the drain line. If you are using the cooling unit in a cellar, we recommend the drain line, which can be drained inside (bottom) or outside (rear) the wine cellar. Choose the 100W heating element to reduce drainage as it helps to burns off excess condensate before it reaches the drain line.

Outdoor model

Our unit fail after only a few months and had to be replaced. The unit was under warranty but I had a substantial ( around $800) cost for the replacement. I would appreciate some feedback as to the cause of the failure.

Replacement for indoor unit

by

Just got and installed the outdoor unit. Had been using an indoor unit installed to exhaust outdoors and it worked, but beeped at low ambient temp. The new unit was easy to install in the same opening and works perfectly. Did quick cool down and got there in minutes. Love it.

1800XTSx

Installed on 1-26-2011, I live in Austin, TX so the true measure of this unit will not be fully tested until August. The unit is sleek and operates quietly, mechanically I think it's sound. I ordered my unit with the mounting clips and external thermosat, I think CellarPro does a disservice to it's customers by not including the clips ($10.00) with the unit. Also external/remote thermostat is the same as the one installed on the unit and is poorly designed for stand alone use, there should be some sort of mounting bracket to avoid having to cut such a large whole in the wall to install.
