Breezaire WKSL 4000 Cooling System for Wine Cellars
A wine cellar ductless split system is a sophisticated wine cellar cooling unit designed to offer flexible installation and superior performance. Unlike traditional systems, it separates the condenser and evaporator units, which significantly reduces noise and vibrations. This makes it an ideal choice for wine cellars, where maintaining a serene environment is crucial. The system comprises two main components: the indoor evaporator unit, which is installed within the wine cellar, and the outdoor condenser unit, typically located outside the cellar. These units are connected by insulated copper tubing or aluminum ducting, facilitating efficient heat transfer and cooling. This setup ensures that your wine storage conditions are optimal, preserving the quality and integrity of your wine collection.
Our selection of Ductless Split Systems for Large Wine Cellars is tailored for high-capacity storage needs, offering advanced temperature and humidity control for cellars up to 5000 cubic feet. With the condenser located outside the cellar, each wine cellar cooling system operates quietly while delivering reliable cooling for extensive collections. These Large Capacity Wine Cooling Units are ideal for both residential and commercial wine cellars, ensuring your wines age in optimal conditions. Browse our range of Ductless Split Wine Coolers for Large Wine Cellars to find the perfect cooling solution for your cellar.

Understanding the operational mechanics of ductless split systems can help you appreciate their efficiency and effectiveness in maintaining optimal wine storage conditions. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how these systems work:
Heat Absorption: The indoor evaporator unit draws in warm air from the wine cellar. This air passes over a coil filled with refrigerant, which absorbs the heat, cooling the air.
Air Circulation: The cooled air is then circulated back into the wine cellar, ensuring a stable and cool environment for your wine collection.
Heat Dissipation: The refrigerant, now carrying the absorbed heat, travels through insulated tubing to the outdoor condenser unit. Here, the heat is dissipated into the outside air.
Compression: The system’s compressor compresses the refrigerant, enabling it to efficiently transfer heat and maintain the desired temperature within the wine cellar.
Air Distribution: A fan within the system helps distribute the cooled air evenly throughout the wine cellar, ensuring consistent temperature and humidity levels.
Ductless split systems are engineered for energy efficiency, utilizing advanced technologies such as inverter-driven compressors and high-efficiency fans. These features not only minimize energy consumption but also ensure quiet and unobtrusive operation, making them perfect for larger wine cellars where maintaining a tranquil environment is paramount.

Our Ductless Split Systems are designed for large cellars, typically handling spaces up to 5000 cubic feet, ideal for extensive wine collections.
A Ductless Split System Cooling Unit offers quiet, efficient cooling with the condenser placed outside the cellar, providing powerful performance without noise disturbance.
No, ductless split wine coolers don’t require ductwork, making installation easy and flexible for large cellar setups.
A wine cellar that stores more than 1,500 bottles is generally classified as large. These cellars often require advanced climate control systems and specialized storage solutions.
The most economical approach is to build it in a naturally cool, well-insulated area such as a basement, which reduces the need for mechanical cooling. For precise temperature control, a compact self-contained cooling unit is the most cost-effective option.
Most wine coolers require 3–6 inches of clearance around the intake and exhaust vents to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating.
The ideal temperature for wine aging and preservation is around 55°F (13°C).
Yes—provided the installation allows for adequate airflow and meets the ventilation and drainage requirements of the unit.
Not recommended. Portable AC units tend to strip too much humidity and cannot deliver the precise temperature control required for proper wine storage.
Use high R-value insulation, install a vapor barrier, ensure proper sealing, limit light exposure, and employ a dedicated wine cellar cooling system.
With regular maintenance, most wine cellar cooling units last between 8 and 12 years.
A wine cooler is an appliance intended for short- to medium-term storage, whereas a wine cellar is a climate-controlled room designed for long-term aging and preservation.
Depending on the racking style, you’ll typically need 250–350 square feet, with enough ceiling height to take advantage of vertical storage.
