Summary
Keep in mind the following guidelines before purchasing and installing a wine
cooling unit from CellarPro:
The most common causes of split system compressor failure are
refrigerant overcharge, adding liquid refrigerant through the suction
access valve, and cold compressor starts. Therefore,
a. Please read and follow our detailed charging instructions
b. If your system is equipped with a compressor heater, make sure
this is wired to be energized even when the system is idle.
c. If the system has been sitting idle without the compressor heater
energized for more than 24 hours, or starting up the system in a
cold ambient, it is critical to warm the bottom shell of the
compressor above the ambient temperature for 30 minutes to
drive excess refrigerant out of the compressor oil.
If the cellar is too large for the cooling unit, the cooling unit will be unable to
maintain proper, even temperatures inside the cellar.
Without proper insulation and an airtight environment, the cooling unit
effectively will become a de-humidifier and potentially will produce buckets of
water.
Without access to cool air, either because of improper ventilation
or because the environments is too hot, the cooling unit will be unable to
maintain proper temperatures inside the cellar.
When the cooling unit will be exposed to temperatures below 40
°
F, a
compressor heater must be added to protect the compressor.
Under any of the above conditions, the unit’s internal components may become
damaged, the expected useful life of the wine cooling unit may be adversely
affected, and the product’s warranty may become null and void.
