US Cellar Systems Offers Reliable and Quiet Wine Cellar Cooling Units  

Choosing a wine cellar cooling unit for your residential or commercial wine cellar can be a challenging task. You must seek the help of an HVAC expert to determine the best type and capacity of your climate control system.

Wine cellar refrigeration units are considered essential equipment in protecting wines for either a personal collection or commercial scale.  A high-quality wine cellar refrigeration unit maintains the ideal wine storage temperature and relative humidity for wine to age to its optimum quality. The ideal wine cellar temperature is usually between 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit, with 60 to 75 percent relative humidity. 

There are many available wine cellar refrigeration units on the market. At Coastal Custom Wine Cellars, we work with premier manufacturers of wine refrigeration units. One of them is US Cellar Systems, whose aim is to provide innovative, high quality, and practical wine cellar cooling solutions to homeowners and entrepreneurs. Their products are engineered for maximum efficiency and quiet operation.

What You Must Know About DQ and LPQ Wine Cellar Cooling Systems  

DQ Wine Cellar Cooling System

Two of the popular products they have are known for their virtually quiet operation features. These are the DQ series and the LPQ Series.  These refrigeration units are excellent for both small and large-scale wine storage in a residential or commercial setting.  Both are digitally controlled and designed for different wine storage and aging scenarios. 

DQ Series Wine Cooling Units from US Cellar Systems  

The DQ series (Dual-Air Quiet Series) is a quiet wine cellar cooling unit designed for long/narrow and frequently accessed wine cellars.  This powerful system is excellent for busy, high traffic wine cellars due to its excellent temperature recovery rate.  This cooling system is mounted on the ceiling, releasing cold air reaching 10 to 12 feet in two opposite directions at medium to high velocity, with the return air located at the bottom. 

As the name “Quiet Series” implies, this system uses fan blades engineered for very low noise output.  To contribute to humidity balance, this system maintains a constant coil temperature with its automatic expansion valve. 

This system also features a permanently lubricated motor for full thermal protection.  Other excellent features for this system are a factory-installed pump-down solenoid valve, which protects the compressor in cases of leakage, and factory-installed valves to eliminate further thermostat wiring. 

Typical Installation of DQ Wine Cellar Cooling Units  

• Keep line sets as short as possible.
• The drain line must always flow downhill to drain or pump.
• An excessive number of turns will cause refrigerant flow problems. This could cause early compressor failure. Suction line accumulators are recommended and are required if working lower than the normal 55-65° operating range from the wine cellar.
• The line connections at Condensing Unit and Fan Coil may not be the same as the required line sizes.
• A pump down control system controls the system. There is no control wiring between the thermostat and condensing unit.
• Standard line sets should be 50’ or less. Extended runs may require larger line sizes and 3oz. oil must be added for every 10’ over 35.’

LPQ Series Wine Cellar Cooling Systems 

LPQ Wine Cellar Cooling System

The LPQ (Low Profile Quiet) Series, on the other hand, is a ceiling mounted system designed specifically for quiet, low maintenance long-term wine storage. It is also recommended for small or narrow spaces.

It is also a split type system, which requires the condenser (the noisier component) to be placed outside the wine cellar. It is ideal for owners who do not want any equipment to be visible in their wine room. The unit can be concealed in a soffit or ceiling with a louvered grill cover.  This quiet wine cellar cooling unit is perfect for commercial wine companies and collectors storing and properly aging their wines.

The LPQ series releases chilled air behind the coil going down the wall, requiring only a few inches of clearance space with the return air sucked in through its angled front.  The LPQ series is encased in a heavy-gauge aluminum cabinet for easy cleaning.   

The fan guards and blades of the LPQ series are molded for noise reduction. Like the DQ series, the LPQ also comes with a factory-installed pump-down solenoid valve and valves to eliminate further thermostat wiring. 

The evaporators of the Low-Profile Quiet Series are available in standard capacities that range from 1,800 to 8,600 BTU per hour. The refrigerant needed is R134a.  

Typical Installation of LPQ Wine Cellar Cooling Units  

• Keep line sets as short as possible.
• The drain line must always flow downhill to drain or pump.
• An excessive number of turns will cause refrigerant flow problems. It could cause early compressor failure. Suction line accumulators are recommended and are required if working lower than the normal 55 degrees to 65 degrees operating range from your residential or commercial wine cellar.
• The line connections at Fan Coil and Condensing Unit may not be the same as the required line sizes.

The system is controlled by a pump down control system. There is no control wiring between the condensing unit and the thermostat.

Standard line sets should be 50′ or less. Extended runs may require larger line sizes, and 3oz oil must be added for every 10′ over 35

Options and Accessories that Will Improve the Performance and Increase the Functionality of the DQ and LPQ Wine Cellar Cooling Systems  

For additional options, both series types can have up to two more coils for additional capacity, more condensing units as back up or fail-safes, water-cooled condensing units, twin evaporator systems for a larger application, stainless steel cabinets for highly-corrosive environments, and additional precautions for extremely low or high ambient temperatures.   

US Cellar Systems also offers accessories for wine cellar refrigeration units, such as the excess refrigerant suction line accumulator, a system condenser enclosure, the electrical wiring harness, and a lot more.
