This is a very common mistake people make. You are actually better off storing your wine in a higher than ideal temperature at stable conditions rather than using a conventional air conditioner.
Why?
Firstly a conventional air conditioner chills and recycles air into the cellar dropping its temperature by around 15 degrees C. This cold air landing on your precious wine shocks it every time it cycles. It is just as bad for the wine as heat is. This is not what happens in a cave. A cave maintains constant stable conditions. Our Fondis Winemaster machines simulate cave conditions with a very soft form of temperature control not shocking the wine with very cold air.
The air off a conventional air conditioner also overly dries the air dropping the humidity in the cellar and drying the corks causing shrinkage which in turn leads to leakage and spoilage of your wine.
The other main reason why a conventional air conditioner is no good is that wine under cork breathes through the cork and releases acidic vapors into the air which in turn gets blown over the gas cooling evaporator coil causing gas leaks. All of our Fondis Winemaster cellar conditioners have three special protective coatings on the cooling coils that protects against gas leaks from acidic pitting of the refrigeration system .
Yes. This is just as important as the machine itself and they work together to simulate the required stable cave like conditions .There must be an unbroken layer of foam on the face of the walls and ceiling creating a thermal and vapour barrier. The idea is to have a very gradual change of temperature in the cellar as to not shock your wine. This can only be done with low capacity wine cellar conditioners matched to the volume of your room. The low capacity of these machines means that the only way to contain the desired conditions within the room is to have a thermal barrier.
When a room has been insulated using the correct type and thickness of foam the cooling capacity required is as follows:
15m3 cellar = 450 Watts
25m3 cellar = 550 Watts
40m3 cellar = 900 Watts
50m3 cellar = 1200 Watts
80m3 cellar = 1600 Watts
100m3 cellar = 2500 Watts
Absolutely not. It doesn’t matter how thick the single sheet of glass is it doesn’t have any thermal resistance. Thermal resistance is only created by having layers of glass with argon gas in between. The ideal is double glazed 1.4 ”U” factor glass which is made up of 4mm glass , 16mm argon gas void and 4mm glass. Triple glazing and vacuum glass are better again. In humid parts of the world a single sheet of glass will also sweat causing water to pool up on the floor.
Be very careful if someone says you can have a single sheet of glass in your cellar or no need to insulate as they may be giving you a higher capacity machine to compensate for the thermal losses but are actually damaging the wine with the over capacity, overly cold air.
