Ducted Air Handler Split 1 Ton AH8500Sx Outdoor #7110

CellarPro AH8500Sx-ECX Cooling Unit (P/N 7110). CellarPro engineered the AH8500Sx-ECX ducted cooling system to provide maximum cooling power and adjustable humidity control for cellars up to 2,500 cubic feet with the condensing unit located in an exterior environment. The evaporator and the condensing unit each can be ducted up to 100 equivalent feet (50 equivalent feet per duct.) As a split system, the evaporator can be separated from the condensing unit up to 100 feet, allowing the noise and heat from the condensing unit to be located away from interior living areas. The AH8500Sx-ECX includes independent energy-efficient variable-speed EC fans with a low setting for quieter operation and a high setting for maximum power.

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.

7156 SENSIBLE BTUH @ 55F.
CellarPro's AH8500Sx-ECX ducted cooling units (1 Ton Nominal) are engineered for wine cellars up to 2,500* cubic feet in both commercial and residential wine cellars. When ducted, this unit uses 10-inch insulated ducting on the cold side, and exterior grills on the hot side.

This unit maintains optimal cellar temperature and humidity conditions in extreme conditions up to 110F. AH8500Sx units use energy-efficient EC fans and are significantly quieter than comparable units from other brands. Visit our Learning Center for data tables, performance charts and product comparisons among different brands.

Our Compressor Heater (P/N 1727) is included to protect the compressor from in temperatures down to 20F. For installation of the condensing unit in environments below 20F down to -20F, our Fan Cycling Switch (P/N 6972) is a required addition, and Electronic Configuration is required.

*Assuming R19 insulation throughout the cellar, 55F inside the cellar and 85F outside the cellar. Cold-side ducting, glass and/or uninsulated walls, extreme humidity, altitude and other factors may affect the sizing calculation.

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).

What is ""Sensible BTUH""?

A: You should always use Sensible BTUH* when comparing different cooling unit brands and when sizing a cooling unit for your wine cellar. Every cooling unit produces a certain amount of Total BTUH, 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 known as SHR (Sensible Heat Ratio), 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).

What's the difference between a split system and ""through the wall"" or ""self-contained"" systems?

A: Split systems are ""split"" into two parts: the cold side (evaporator), which is usually installed inside the cellar, and the hot side (condensing unit), which is installed away from the cellar. The benefit of having this split is that the heat and noise from the condensing unit can be located far away from living spaces where they won't interfere with day-to-day life.

Are split systems more difficult to install than self-contained systems?

A: Yes, because split systems require installation by a licensed HVAC technician (unless you are purchasing our quick-connect split system.) In contrast, self-contained units can be mounted through the wall and shipped fully charged and operational out of the box.

What's the difference between valve control and electronic control? Which is better?

A: The most significant difference between the valve and electronic control is that, with electronic control, the condensing unit receives power directly from the evaporator, whereas with valve control, the condensing unit is independently powered and turns on/off based on the solenoid valve. Valve control is more common in the industry and benefits from not having to run a power line from the evaporator to the condensing unit but cannot operate in temperatures below 0F. Electronic control offers more precision and allows the condensing unit to be placed in temperatures down to -20F (with the addition of a compressor heater and fan cycling switch.)

Can the evaporator be located remotely and ducted to/from the wine cellar?

A: Ceiling-mount evaporators are designed to be installed in the cellar's ceiling. They are not designed to be ducted.
