The Wine Guardian cooling unit is a professional grade American manufactured, self-contained
climate control unit designed specifically for the storage of wine at cellar temperatures. It is designed
for easy installation and operation. Wine Guardian uses digital electronic controls and environmen-
tally friendly R-134a refrigerant. The entire unit is tested at the factory and  shipped as a single
package.  All components are of a high quality standard commercial grade. The entire unit is ap-
proved by ETL according to UL 1995 and CSA safety standards. All wiring complies with NEC.
Each unit is furnished with a sealed, UL- approved power cord and plug.

The Wine Guardian unit is completely self-contained  and includes an integral air or water cooled
condenser. The unit is functionally divided into two sections, the evaporator or cooling section and
the condenser or heat rejection section. Each section contains a coil to add or remove heat and a
fan to move the air through the coil and into or out of the cellar or adjacent space. The Wine Guard-
ian unit is designed to be used either as a free-blowing, through- the-wall unit, or  as a remote mount
unit with external  ductwork connections.

Air from the cellar first enters a filter to remove any airborne dust particles and then enters the
cooling coil.  Air passes through the cooling coil and is cooled by the refrigerant inside the coil. This
causes any excess humidity in the air to condense and be captured in the drain pan and piped
outside the unit. Air then enters the fan where it is pressurized and discharged out of the unit. Op-
tional heating coils are located between the cooling coil and the fan. These coils heat the air to
prevent low temperatures in the cellar.  The thermostat, located in the cellar, turns on the cooling or
heating as needed to maintain its set point. It does not allow the cooling and heating to be on at the
same time.

The compressor and condenser sections are activated whenever the unit is cooling. The condenser
fan draws air from the surrounding or ambient space either directly or through a duct. The air is first
drawn through a filter to remove any airborne dust particles to keep the coil clean. Then the air
flows through the condenser coil where it absorbs heat from the refrigerant in the coil. The air is
finally discharged out of the unit by the condenser fan.
