Self Contained 1/4 Ton 1800XTSr-HE #37401
Details
CellarPro 1800XTSr-HE wine cooling units deliver 1925 BTUH total / 1623 BTUH sensible capacity at 55F, providing 1/4-ton cooling for small wine cellars up to 400 cubic feet using standard sizing assumptions (no glass, 85F ambient and R-19 insulation throughout).* Based on our 1800XTS-HE platform, the 1800XTSr-HE repositions the hot-side airflows to the front of the unit and the cold-side airflows to the bottom of the unit, making it ideal for built-in and above-the-door installations that require front venting. This upgraded HE model features a powerful low-GWP compressor, upgraded EC fans, longer-lasting aluminum coils and robust components engineered for demanding installs where condenser air ranges from 40F to 85F. The 1800XTSr-HE delivers strong cooling performance with lower energy usage and reduced environmental impact, plus adjustable humidity control to protect corks and labels.
*Deviation from these assumptions should be evaluated using our online Wine Cellar Cooling Calculator.

CellarPro cooling units are designed to be used in properly constructed wine cellars that are adequately insulated, airtight and sealed with a vapor barrier. In improperly constructed cellars, the cooling unit will create excess condensation, leading to damage and premature failure (not covered by warranty).
Configuration
- CellarPro 1800XTSr-HE units are self-enclosed, fully charged units designed to be installed through-the-wall, built into cabinetry or installed above the ceiling relative to the wine cellar.
- This model is designed for applications that require front venting on the hot side and bottom airflow on the cold side.
- On the hot side, the 1800XTSr-HE requires fresh air intake at the front of the cooling unit. The hot exhaust also blows out the front of the cooling unit.
- Sufficient space must exist in front of the unit so that hot air can dissipate before mixing with the fresh air intake.
- On the cold side, the unit intakes cellar air from the bottom and exhausts cold air from the bottom, making it ideal for above-the-door and built-in installations.
- Please note: This cooling unit is not designed to handle static pressure, and its airflows should never be ducted or restricted.
- The control panel and digital display are located on the right side of the cooling unit. If this location will be inaccessible, we offer a remote display kit that can be wired to the cooling unit and mounted inside or outside the cellar.
- The power cord can exit from the rear or from the right side of the cooling unit, and must be configured prior to purchase.
- The cooling unit can be configured with or without an optional drain line at no charge.
- Designed for indoor use only, 1800XTSr-HE units can operate in ambient conditions from 40F to 85F out of the box.
- The front of the cooling unit should never be exposed to temperatures below 40F, and the bottom of the cooling unit should never be exposed to temperatures below 32F.
- A CellarPro cooling unit must always be used in the upright position, and should never be operated on its side or upside down.

FAQs
What is "Sensible BTUH"?
A: You should always use Sensible BTUH* when comparing different brands of cooling units, and when sizing a cooling unit for your wine cellar. Every cooling unit produces a certain amount of Total BTUH, which is the sum of Sensible BTUH (lowers the temperature) and Latent BTUH (lowers the relative humidity). Because our goal is to cool wine cellars while preserving humidity, wine cellar cooling units should have high Sensible BTUH and low Latent BTUH. The relationship between Sensible and Latent BTUHs is know as SHR (Sensible Heat Ratio), which is calculated as Sensible BTUH/Total BTUH. The SHR for CellarPro cooling units is greater than 90%, which means that CellarPro units provide maximum cooling power without stripping out humidity from the cellar environment.
*CellarPro Sensible BTUHs are calculated assuming 55F cellar temperature, 60% relative humidity and 85F ambient for all units except 1800 units (85F ambient).
How cold can the temperature be where the cooling unit is installed?
A: For installations in environments below 40F down to 20F, we recommend adding our compressor heater (P/N 1727), which is included as standard equipment on all outdoor units. Below 20F, in addition to the compressor heater, we recommend adding our fan cycling switch (P/N 6972)
Can the cooling unit be located in a remote location and ducted to/from the wine cellar?
A: These cooling units are not designed to be ducted.
Does the unit really need a dedicated circuit?
A: First, the background. Unlike our competitors, we build our cooling units with precision expansion valves, not cap tubes, which means that our cooling units aren't limited to a 30F differential between the desired cellar temperature and the ambient temperature. Cooling systems with expansion valves are much more precise than cap tubes, and much more sensitive to low voltage conditions, which is why our units require dedicated circuits. When we say "dedicated circuit", we mean that the circuit shouldn't have any items that require heavy draws of electricity - eg other appliances, vacuum cleaners, big-screen TVs, blow-dryers - on the same circuit as the cooling unit. Lighting, computers or other low-draw items shouldn't be a problem on the same circuit.
What if I don't have sufficient space in front of the cooling unit for the hot air exhaust to dissipate?
A: The front of the cooling units requires sufficient space so that its exhaust can dissipate without polluting the fresh air that the cooling unit requires to operate. If there isn't sufficient space and ducting is required, it would be best to purchase a different unit.
