Preparing A Cellar

Location:

A wine cellar/store may be placed almost anywhere in the house, although it is preferable to avoid areas which recieve direct sunlight for much of the day. However, the area to which the conditioner expels its hot air must be ventilated and must not usually reach temperatures higher than 32ºC. THE UNIT WILL NOT WORK NOR BE COVERED BY OUR GUARANTEE UNLESS THE ROOM IS FULLY INSULATED: WALLS, FLOOR, CEILING.

Method:

Studwork Partition- Insulation material must be placed in the cavities of the studding.

Existing Rooms - Dry line the walls with insulation blocks; cover and finish with plaster board.

Floors and Ceilings - Insulate ceiling and floor cavaties; if the floor and/or ceiling is solid, make a false ceiling and/or floor, placing insulation material in them. EQUIVALENT TO 80MM HIGH DENSITY POLYSTYRENE. Polyuretane sheets may also be used. Material must have an R value greater than 2.66

Doors - ensure that doors are draught proofed and insulated.

Do not use fibre based insulating materials - polystyrene or foam blocks are suitable.

Installation on the wall

The EuroCave Cellar Conditioner may be installed in any thickness of wall. If the total thickness of the wall (including all insulation and finishing materials) does not exceed 300mm then all that is needed is the creation of an aperture of the relevant size*. If the finished thickness of the wall exceeds 300mm, the internal side of the aperture should be bevelled at 45º to allow the free circulation of air to and from the Conditioner.

CL-A aperture - internal of support frame - 452mm (w) x 482mm (h)

CL-C aperture - internal of support frame - 409mm (w) x 409mm (h)
