Duct Split Ceiling Mount 3/4 Ton AH8000Scmr #36921

CellarPro Ducted Ceiling Mount Recessed AH8000Scmr-ECX (P/N 36921). NOW WITH ENERGY-EFFICIENT EC FANS! CellarPro engineered the Ducted Ceiling Mount Split AH8000Scmr-ECX cooling system to provide maximum cooling power and adjustable humidity control with a ceiling-mounted evaporator that can be recessed in the ceiling and therefore hidden from view. The condensing unit can be ducted, and the evaporator includes a variable-speed fan 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 condensing unit must be installed outside the cellar in a location that provides ample space and access to fresh air.

6088 SENSIBLE BTUH @ 55F.
CellarPro's AH8000Scmr-ECX Ductable Recessed Ceiling Mount split cooling system features an evaporator (3/4 Ton Nominal) that is designed to be recessed in the ceiling, and a condensing unit that can be ducted. This unit is suitable for wine cellars up to 2000* cubic feet in both commercial and residential wine cellars.

Performance testing shows that this unit maintains optimal cellar temperature and humidity conditions in extreme conditions up to 110F more effectively than similar units from competing brands. AH6000Scmr-ECX units use energy-efficient EC fans and are significantly quieter than comparable units from other manufacturers.

All ceiling-mount units include our remote display with 20-feet of low-voltage wiring (additional wiring available upon request) and an integrated condensate pump as standard equipment. Visit our Learning Center for data tables, performance charts and product comparisons among different brands.

*The cellar size assumes that the cellar is constructed with a proper vapor barrier, insulation of R19 or better in all walls and ceiling (ie no glass or uninsulated concrete), a setpoint of 55F inside the cellar and ambient temperatures up to 85F outside the cellar.

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).

• CellarPro Ducted Split AH8000Scmr-ECX units are designed to be installed with the evaporator recessed in the ceiling above the cellar, and the ducted condensing unit located remotely.
• Our Split refrigeration systems offer a choice of wiring:
  1. The Condensing unit can be electronically controlled by and wired to the Evaporator (single power source on the Evaporator side). A compressor heater is included to prevent off-cycle refrigerant migration to the compressor, and allows the Condensing Unit to be used in temperatures down to 20F, or down to -20F with the addition of our fan cycling switch. This configuration requires a 15-amp dedicated circuit breaker for AH3000Scmr-ECX and AH4000Scmr-ECX systems, and a 25-amp dedicated circuit breaker for AH6000Scmr-ECX and AH8000Scmr-ECX systems.
  2. The Condensing unit can be controlled by a Solenoid valve (dual power source, one each to the primary Evaporator and Condensing units.) A compressor heater is included to prevent off-cycle refrigerant migration to the compressor, and allows the Condensing unit to be used in temperatures down to 20F. We do not recommend using this configuration when the condensing unit will be exposed to temperatures below 20F. This configuration requires the primary evaporator to be wired to a 15-amp circuit breaker, and the condensing unit to be wired to a dedicated 15-amp circuit breaker for AH3000Scmr-ECX and AH4000Scmr-ECX systems, and a dedicated 25-amp circuit breaker for AH6000Scmr-ECX and AH8000Scmr-ECX systems.
• Recessed Ceiling Mount evaporators can be installed in a choice of configurations:
  1. Flush To Ceiling includes an oversized bottom cover/grill that is designed to sit flush against the sheetrock.
  2. Recessed | Protruded includes a bottom cover/grill that is the same size as the evaporator body and therefore can be recessed in or protruded below the ceiling.
• CellarPro's split configuration allows multiple ducting alternatives for the condensing unit, as follows.
  1. Collars or grills are interchangeable to meet your specific requirements.
  2. Compatible with a professional-grade air filter on the return air (included).
• We recommend pulling the fresh air intake (hot-side) from a temperature-controlled environment (must be outside the cellar). If the hot-side exhaust will be directed to a different space than the intake, always make sure that both spaces are sufficiently voluminous so that you don't run into issues with negative pressure.
• The Condensing unit can be ducted up to 100 Equivalent Feet (50 Feet per Duct) with 8-inch ducting.
• A bottle probe temperature sensor (10' cord) plus your choice of duct collars, indoor grills and blank plates are included in the price of the cooling system.
• The evaporator(s) should never be exposed to temperatures below 32F.
• Access to the bottom of each evaporator is required for installation.
• All split systems must be installed and charged on site by a qualified HVAC professional. Line-set equivalent feet must be calculated in accordance with ASHRAE guidelines; refer to our Line Sizing Chart for more information.
• A CellarPro cooling unit must always be used in the upright position, and should never be operated on its side or upside down.
• We ship these units strapped to a pallet via common carrier with curbside delivery. Inside delivery is available for an additional charge.
• To activate your warranty, you must complete and return our Installation Checklist.

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.

Can I install the entire unit inside the cellar?

A: No, the condensing unit is designed to be located remotely, outside the cellar, and connected to the evaporator via copper lineset.

If I don't have sufficient space around the condensing unit, is that OK?

A: The hot side of the cooling unit generates hot air that must have sufficient space to dissipate. It also requires a source of cool, fresh air that isn't polluted by the equipment's hot air exhaust and must be from outside the wine cellar. The hot-side airflows can be ducted if sufficient space doesn't exist where the equipment is located.

Does the evaporator include flare connections, or will I need to braze the connections to the line set?

A: Flare connections are much more prone to leaks and have been phased out over the years and replaced by fully brazed connections. This is driven by the EPA and the focus on minimizing refrigerant leaks into the atmosphere.

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, so 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 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 - e.g., other appliances, vacuum cleaners, big-screen TVs, blow-dryers - on the same circuit as the cooling unit. Lighting, computers or other low-draw items should be fine on the same circuit.
