Cabinet – The cabinet and access doors are constructed of aluminum with a powder coated
finish for corrosion protection and an attractive, maintenance free appearance. Areas in contact
with cold temperatures are lined with insulation to prevent condensation.

Condensing Section - Ambient air is circulated through the condenser section by a direct drive,
permanently lubricated, motorized impeller blower. This section also contains the compressor
and the electrical controls. If the water cooled option is purchased, a heat exchanger is used in
place of the condenser coil and blower.

Evaporator Section – Cellar air is circulated through the evaporator section by another blower
the same as above. The large evaporator coil face area eliminates condensate carry-over, re-
duces air pressure drop and optimizes heat transfer. A drain pan is located directly below the
coil to capture condensate and is fabricated from aluminum to prevent rust and corrosion. The
electric heating coil, if ordered, is factory installed between the evaporator coil and the blower,
and is complete with contactor(s) and limit controls.

Electrical Controls – Most of the electrical components and controls are located in a separate area
accessible through the condenser section. All wiring is in accordance with the National Electrical
Code. Wires are numbered and color coded to match the wiring diagrams.

Factory Tested – All Wine Guardian units are factory run-tested and checked for operational
performance.

Filters – Nominal 1" thick filters are provided on both the evaporator and condenser inlets to protect
the coils from dust and dirt. These filters are washable and reusable.

Humidity Option – The optional humidifier comes fully assembled and tested for field installation onto
the Wine Guardian without any additional electrical power wiring. It automatically adds moisture into
the cellar by the evaporation of water over a distribution pad. A cellar mounted digital electronic
humidistat automatically controls the amount of moisture added.

Internal Drain Trap - Water condensate from the evaporator coil fills the trap and forms a seal to
prevent air from being drawn back through the drain tube. This allows the drain pan to drain freely. No
external trap is required.

Refrigerant Circuit – The factory charged circuit includes a thermal expansion valve with an
external equalizer, sight glass with moisture indicator, a filter dryer, an automatic low pressure
switch, and a manual reset high pressure switch. For the low ambient option, an automatic pressure
switch controls the operation of the condenser blower and a heating element is added to the compres-
sor oil reservoir. See Refrigeration Illustration on next page

Supply/return grilles – Powder-coated steel single direction grilles are provided for the inlets to the
evaporator and condenser sections. One grille is provided on an outlet. These are readily interchange-
able with access doors to control and direct the airflow. These grilles may be used in the room on the
end of the ducts in ducted systems .
