Vertical High Static (VHS) Wine Cellar Cooling Units by US Cellar Systems: Why Choose One 

Choosing the brand and model of wine cooling unit for your wine cellar should not be a difficult task. However, you must keep in mind that consulting an expert will help you determine the ideal climate control system for your needs.  

At Wine Cellar Cooling Services San Francisco, we do not use regular home air conditioning systems for cooling wine cellars. We know and understand the crucial role of installing a high-grade wine refrigeration system. We have been using the wine cooling products manufactured by US Cellar Systems. They are one of the most trusted HVAC experts and providers of wine refrigeration units. The Vertical High Static (VHS) Series wine cooling units offer many benefits to residential and commercial wine cellar owners, making these units widely known among builders, designers, installers, and contractors in San Francisco. 

US Cellar Systems’ VHS Series Wine Cooling Systems Offers Powerful Performance and Installation Flexibility

Since the Vertical High Static wine refrigeration unit is a ducted system, the evaporator (the noisy component of a wine cooling system) is located outside the wine room. It means that you can expect your equipment to operate with minimal noise or no noise at all.  This ducted type wine cooling system allows the cooled air to be ducted into the wine cellar.      

Moreover, it provides an excellent option for wine cellar owners who do not want to see any equipment inside their wine room. It also frees up space, maximizing the storage capacity of your wine cellar.

Installation of the VHS Wine Cellar Refrigeration Unit

Ease of installation is another factor that you must look for in a wine refrigeration unit. Other brands and types of wine cooling systems require an exhaust room where heat can be dissipated.   

• Installation diagram shows the standard duct layout. The actual layout is to be determined by the installer. 
• Ductwork should not exceed 50 feet in total length. 
• For short duct length mat, installing a fan speed to slow down the fan speed is required. 
• Keep line sets as short as possible. 
• A pump controls the system’s down-control process. There is no control wiring between the thermostat and condensing unit. 
• The drain line must always flow downhill to drain or pump. 
• Standard line sets should be 50 feet or less. Extended runs may require larger line sizes. 3 oz. oil should be added for every 10′ over 35′. 
• The line connections at the fan coil and condensing unit may not be the same as the required line sizes. 
• An excessive number of turns will cause refrigerant flow problems. This action can cause early compressor failure. We recommend suction line accumulators. They are required accessories if the wine cellar is working lower than the standard 55-65° operating range from the wine cellar.
