Installer’s Instruction

Federal law requires that WINE-MATE split cooling systems be

installed by an EPA certified refrigeration technician.

WINE-MATE split system is shipped as components and is ready for use only
after a certified refrigeration technician has properly installed, charged and tested
the system. Proper installation is critical. Vinotemp can only warrant the quality of
the components. The installation and proper operation of the system must be
warranted by the installer. Installation of the system must be done in accordance
with all state and local building codes.
The condensing unit and evaporator unit are connected by a liquid line and an
insulated suction line that are supplied by the installer. These lines must be
properly sized for the distance between the two units. After the units and the lines
are installed, the system must be pressure tested. If no leaks are found,
evacuate and charge system with R134A. Refrigerant amount will vary
depending on the length of line set.

1. Condensing Unit

• Place the condensing units WM250-650SCU in a properly ventilated
location. If it is not, heat exhausted by the condensing unit will build up
and the cooling system will not operate properly.

• Leave minimum 5 feet clearance for the exhaust side and leave minimum
1 foot clearance for the fresh air intake side.

• Condensing unit shall be elevated to avoid possible flooding and shaded
from direct sun. It shall not be exposed to temperatures higher than 110

°F or lower than 45 °F (optional low ambient kit for 20 °F).

2. Evaporator Unit

• The WM25-45SFCR evaporator units shall be installed for rack mount with
the air supply from the left front, top or side and air return on the right
front, top or side.

• Supply and return air flow from the evaporator unit shall be unobstructed
for at least 1 foot.

• There is a gravity drain line so that it can not be installed above the
evaporator unit. Otherwise a condensation pump must be used.

3. Air Sensor

• The air sensor can be located in the wine room or the return air area, but
not the supply air area.

4. Refrigeration Piping and Charging

NOTES: ALWAYS USE THE SUPERHEAT AND SUBCOOLING,
PRESSURE READINGS TO CHARGE REFRIGERANT PROPERLY, THE
LISTED CHARGES ARE FOR REFERENCE ONLY.

• The installation order starts from condensing unit (including the receiver),
liquid line filter-drier, moisture-liquid indicator (sight glass), liquid line,
evaporator unit (including liquid line solenoid valve and thermostatic
expansion valve or automatic expansion valve), suction line, and returning
to condensing unit.

• The subcooling at the condensing unit shall be around 10° F. The charge
may be complete when there are no more bubbles forming in the sight
glass.

• The evaporator’s constant pressure expansion valve is set around 38-

°F at factory. This pressure setting gives a dew point to maintain the

40
humidity for storing wine.

• The superheat at the evaporator unit shall be around 9-18°F under low
and high load at 75°F ambient temperature.

• Low side pressure: 33 psig

• High side pressure 130 -150 psig at 75 -90 °F ambient temperatures

The line sizes and refrigerant charges are listed as follows.
