New Cellar - Oh That Texas Heat!

[hotwine]

Another point or two to consider:<P>- The commercial wine coolers I've seen must be able to exhaust hot air. It they dump it into an adjoining room, that can be a problem.<P>- A "split system", in which the evaporator coil is in one location (the "cellar") and the condenser in another (outdoors, perhaps), affords the installer flexibility that's not available with most "wine coolers". Such a system is most useful for installations which cannot easily exhaust hot air. That's the type I have.... an idustrial chiller designed for walk-in refrigerators in restaurants and supermarkets. There's no exhaust, and no air-intake either.... it re-circulates chilled air within the cellar and only gets refreshed when I open the door.<P>Point being: don't feel you have to go with a chiller that's billed as being designed for wine storage. Something else may work better for your application.
