Cooling system Cooling system

A smooth, quiet, and durable cooling system that maintains your wine cellar at the ideal temperature for your collection.

A breakthrough in cooling technology

The Cube LT wine cellar cooling system represents the pinnacle of wine preservation technology. Designed with unparalleled precision for full-height glass cellars, it ensures a stable and optimal environment, essential for storing the most precious bottles, while operating quietly.

With its innovative water-circulation cooling system, the Cube LT effectively manages temperature fluctuations and maintains ideal humidity levels, preventing corks from drying out and preserving wine quality. Its modular design, consisting of three distinct components, offers exceptional installation flexibility, suitable for both private residences and commercial establishments, meeting the needs of cellars of all sizes and configurations.

The Advantages of the System

The RC4LT is an elegantly designed, ceiling-mounted unit that stands as the only visible component in the wine cellar. Available in various colors, its sleek and stylish appearance blends seamlessly with any decor. With the compressor installed outside the wine cellar, there's no need for ceiling concealment, allowing for a maximum glass surface area and increased storage capacity.

Installation is made easy since there is no need for a drain or power source within the wine cellar, making it flexible and straightforward. Three ½" PEX tubes and an Ethernet cable run through the walls to connect the units.

The tri-component system design allows the compressor to be placed up to 100 feet away from the wine cellar, making it possible to showcase your wine collection in a living area while maintaining a quiet environment.

Specifically designed for wine preservation, the Cube LT's water-loop system provides advanced thermal control, with a cooling loop capable of operating at higher temperatures, reaching up to 10°C (50°F), whereas traditional systems are limited to -4°C (25°F). This innovation significantly reduces thermal shocks and temperature fluctuations, while maintaining an optimal humidity level, ensuring the long-term preservation of the wine's quality and integrity.

In the unlikely event of a leak, it's reassuring to know there are no toxic refrigerant gases in your walls that could jeopardize your health. Only a closed-loop water flow connects the different modules. The compressor unit employs self-contained R290, a nontoxic refrigerant gas with zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and an exceptionally low Global Warming Potential (GWP).

The Cube LT system offers continuous connectivity, enabling real time monitoring of wine cellar conditions. It provides informed status updates via email or SMS alerts if any issues occur with the system.

Comparing Cube LT to other systems on the market

Quiet, durable and stable

Innovative engineering packs so much quality into one product. The precision provided by this thermoelectric device compares to that required by medical laboratory devices, and you can have it right in the heart of your wine cellar.

Choose a reliable device that blends harmoniously into your environment while offering performance worthy of laboratory equipment. The integration of an advanced electronic system offers you a connection accessible at all times, and can provide our technicians with the data necessary for remote diagnosis.

Split system

The split type wine cellar cooling systems are the perfect solution for a wine cellar located in the kitchen, dining room or living room. Since the compressor is installed away from the cellar, the split system is very quiet, just like the CubeLT.

The split system is cooled with a unit at a much lower temperature than the CubeLT, which can cause a thermal shock on the bottles placed near the evaporator. We do not recommend this type of system for storage, in small display type wine cellars.

Monobloc system (Self-Contained)

The Self-Contained type cooling units represent an adequate solution for a wine cellar that is installed in the basement. The compressor used in this system generates more noise, therefore it is not recommended to install it on the ground floor or very close to a bedroom.

Very affordable, the one-piece system is simple to install, especially if a drain has been provided for the condensate. Like SPLIT-type systems, avoid placing your bottles near the cooling device. This could cause a thermal shock each time the cooling system stops and starts.

The cooling system components

The Cube LT is an advanced wine cellar cooling system consisting of three modules: a cooling radiator, a control box and a water chiller. These elements work in harmony with a water circuit and connected cables to maintain the perfect temperature, ensuring your wine bottles are stored in optimal conditions for aging and preservation.

1

Cooling radiator Cooling radiator

Located on the ceiling inside the wine cellar, the RC4LT extracts the heat using the water circuit, while also evacuating the condensation and relaying the temperature status back to the control box.

2

Water circuit & cable Water circuit & cable

Insulated PEX tubing and an Ethernet cable run through the walls, connecting the cooling radiator to the water chiller and the control box.

3

Control box Control box

Acting as the system’s brain, the control box continuously monitors to ensure the wine cellar remains at the desired temperature.

4

Water chiller Water chiller

Installed beside the control box in a mechanical room or garage, the water chiller receives hot water and returns cold water to the cooling radiator.

Compontents

Enclosed in an elegant wooden casing, the RC4LT cooling radiator is the only visible part of the system in the wine cellar. A variety of grid and housing color options are available, allowing you to seamlessly integrate the unit into your cellar’s décor.

Mounted on the ceiling, it quietly expels warm air with the help of silent fans, which circulate it through a radiator connected to a water circuit that is continually cooled by the water chiller. Depending on the size, layout, and insulation efficiency of the cellar, one or more RC4LT units can be installed and operated together to maintain ideal conditions for wine storage and aging.

The system also features an integrated pump that removes condensation water, making installation easier since no drain is required in the wine cellar.

Housing
Grid

The CubeLT cooling system stands out by offering the possibility to place the noisy component, the water chiller, away from common living areas, whether in the garage or in a mechanical room.

To operate the cooling unit, four elements must pass through the ceiling and run through the walls:

A. An Ethernet cable RJ45 23AWG Cat 6 connected to the control box.
B. An insulated ½” PEX line inlet from the water chiller.
C. An insulated ½” PEX line outlet leading to the control box.
D. A condensation water outlet draining into a drain.

Insulations
Control box

The Water Chiller is responsible for efficiently cooling the water circuit. Italian designed, this compact, robust and eco-friendly unit uses R290 as refrigerant, a non-toxic gas with zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and very low Global Warming Potential (GWP).

Due to its higher sound level, similar to that of a dehumidifier, the unit should be installed near the Control Box in a mechanical room or garage. It is not recommended for use in an apartment or condo without a mechanical room.

The Control Box is the unit managing the entire high-end Cube LT cooling system. The conditions of the wine cellar can be set and adjusted by navigating on the high-resolution 7” screen or via a web portal.

It provides electrical power to the RC4LT while also transferring warm water from the RC4LT to the water chiller. Therefore, the Control Box must be installed close to the water chiller in a garage or mechanical room.

Insulation recommendations

To ensure a consistent environment in the wine cellar, it's essential to have a reliable cooling system paired with high-quality insulation.

Inadequate insulation can lead to air leaks, which can threaten the condition of your wine collection by causing temperature variations, high humidity, and the growth of mold or unpleasant smells. Additionally, this can place excessive strain on the cooling system, potentially causing the water chiller to wear out prematurely. Following the recommended guidelines is crucial to maintaining ideal aging conditions.
