Cooling Units by Type

Self contained cooling units are shipped fully charged and ready to go out of the box.  In most cases, self contained cooling units are installed through the wall, with the front (the cold side) 
 located inside the wine cellar and the rear (the hot side) located outside the cellar.  All self contained units require sufficient space and airflow for the hot air generated by the cooling unit to dissipate.  Some self-contained cooling units can be ducted, either at the front, at the rear, or both.

Split cooling systems separate the evaporator and condensing units, thereby allowing the heat and noise from the condensing unit to be located away from living spaces.  

Air Handler cooling systems are designed to be located remotely and ducted to/from the wine cellar.
