Ducted Air Handler Horiz 1 Ton AH8500SCh #7108

CellarPro AH8500SCh-ECX Cooling Unit (P/N 7108). CellarPro engineered the AH8500SCh-ECX ducted cooling system to provide maximum cooling power and adjustable humidity control for cellars up to 2,500 cubic feet. The evaporator and the condensing unit each can be ducted up to 100 equivalent feet (50 equivalent feet per duct.) Designed for internal installations, the AH8500SCh-ECX includes independent energy-efficient variable-speed EC fans with a low setting for quieter operation and a high setting for maximum power. This unit has a horizontal configuration for installations in locations with limited height and/or vertical constraints (eg above the ceiling in an attic).

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 AH8500SCh-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 10-inch ducting on the hot side.

This unit maintains optimal cellar temperature and humidity conditions in extreme conditions up to 110F. AH8500SCh 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 in temperatures down to 20F. For installation in environments below 20F down to -20F, our Fan Cycling Switch (P/N 6972) is a required addition.

*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.

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 AH8500SCh-ECX units are fully-charged and ready to use out of the box. These cooling units are designed to be ducted up to 100 Equivalent Feet (50 Feet per Duct) with 10-inch ducting .
• CellarPro's horizontal configuration allows multiple ducting alternatives, as follows.
  
  1. Collars or grills for EXHAUST (ie Supply) are located at the front (shown at left), top or rear of the cooling system, and are interchangeable to meet your specific requirement.
  2. Collars or grills for INTAKE (ie Return) are located at each end (left: evaporator, and right: condenser), and include professional-grade air filters to protect the unit.
• We recommend pulling the fresh air intake (hot-side) from a temperature-controlled environment other than 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.
• 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.
• CellarPro Air Handlers use two 110V / 60Hz plug-in power cords, as follows:
  1. One cord for the compressor, which pulls 11.4 amps and requires a dedicated 20 amp circuit breaker
  2. One cord for the rest of the components, which pull 3.2 amps and require a dedicated 15 amp circuit breaker
  3. The data above is not valid when the integrated heater and/or humidifier are configured with the cooling unit
• When the control panel is difficult to access, we offer a remote control display kit which is wired to the cooling unit and allows the digital display to be mounted inside or outside the cellar.
• When not ducted, the hot side of the cooling unit (condenser) requires 12 inches of unobstructed space in front of the coils, and requires approx. 600-700 CFM of ventilation when installed in a confined space.
• For installation in environments below 20F down to -20F , our Fan-Cycling Switch (P/N 6972) is required in addition to the compressor heater (both sold separately).
• The cold side of the cooling unit (evaporator) should never be exposed to temperatures below 32F.
• We ship these units strapped to a pallet via common carrier with curbside delivery. Inside delivery is available for an additional charge.

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: Self-contained systems are fully charged and ready to install out of the box, whereas split systems are "split" into two parts: the cold side (evaporator) and the hot side (condensing unit). Our air handlers are available as both self-contained and split units, and the airflows on either (or both) sides can be ducted.

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.

Can I install the entire unit inside the cellar?

A: Technically, yes, you can install the entire cooling unit inside the cellar, as long as you duct BOTH hot-side airflows to locations outside the cellar. �

How much space does the hot side need to operate properly?

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 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 30�F 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 shouldn't be a problem on the same circuit.
