The Ultimate Wine Preserving Refrigeration System

Bacchus Cellar Systems

Bacchus Cellar Systems integrate exact temperature control and optimal humidity (50-70% RH) along with a streamlined, stainless steel ceiling mounted evaporator with a low noise double tangential blower. Its patented temperature/ humidity control allows for a constant supply of optimal cellar conditions. This split system concept places the condensing unit away from the living space and moves the compressor and fan noise to a less obtrusive location. One quiet evaporator fan produces maximum air flow with the lowest decibel output possible.

The stainless ceiling mounted evaporator is attractve, simple to service

The stainless ceiling mounted evaporator is attractive, simple to service and frees up wall space for valuable redwood bottle racking.
Our ducted evaporator utilizes a larger blower, and is completely out of sight.

Other competitive systems might use modified mini split wall mounted evaporators that are not aesthetically pleasing and take up precious bottle space, just like their through-the-wall room air conditioner counterparts.

Two models, ceiling mount or ducted styles handle any cellar up to 1500 cubic foot, and dual evaporator models up to 3000 cubic foot.

BCS Digital Microprocessor

The BCS Digital Microprocessor is very accurate and will give the owner confidence that the temperature and humidity of the cellar are in the optimal range. An optional communication module can monitor the system from anywhere in the world, and will signal alarm conditions.

Installation Made Easy

An internally powered control board in the chilling unit controls the condensing unit, fans, pump, and water supply solenoid. A simple control circuit runs from the chilling units microprocessor to the dual temp/humidity digital keyboard, and to the control sensors. Refrigerant lines, water supply, condensate line, and electrical power are not visible as they enter the ceiling mount chilling unit through the ceiling, and are completely concealed with the ducted system.

The Difference Between 3-2-3 and 1% Gauges

July 5, 2011 Peter General Info

3-1/8" Dry Manifold Gauge

Pressure gauges are classified as either analog or digital and are rated by their precision as it relates to the scale of the gauge. They typically come in two options. The first is 3-2-3, or Class B, gauges. With Class B gauges, the positive pressure range is divided into three sections. The middle half of the range is the most accurate, within 2% of the full scale. The first and last quarters of the gauge are accurate within 3% of the full scale.

The second option is 1%, or Class 1, gauges. With Class 1 gauges, there is a single pressure range and accuracy is 1% of the full scale within the positive range.

The variation between 3-2-3 and 1% accuracy may not seem significant, but the difference between 1 and 3 percent full scale is considerable. For example, if you’re working with an 800 PSI gauge, a 3-2-3 gauge can be off by plus or minus 24 PSI of the true reading, whereas a 1% gauge can be off by plus or minus 8 PSI of the true reading. For the highest accuracy, choose a Class 1 or digital gauge with 1% accuracy or better.

Friedrich ZoneAire Portable Air Conditioner

June 29, 2011 Peter Air Conditioning

Convenient Cooling 40% Faster

ZoneAire Portable Air Conditioner

ZoneAire is like having three appliances in one convenient unit: an air conditioner, a dehumidifier and a fan. It’s practical and flexible: because the unit can move with you to any room, you get cooling exactly when and where you need it. The dehumidification mode keeps your space comfortably dry, and there’s no bucket to empty. When you just want a gentle breeze, switch to fan mode. Remote control included.

Dual Hose Design

ZoneAire’s dual-hose, closed-loop design cools up to 40% faster than single-hose units. It’s also more energy efficient than single-hose portables because ZoneAire does not waste any cooled air by venting it outside.

Simpler Installation

Cooling mode installation is relatively simple. Just follow the directions to install the window adapter kit, which allows the unit to vent to the outside, and then attach both hoses. There is no installation required to use a ZoneAire in dehumidification or fan mode. It’s ideal for bedrooms, garages, dorm rooms—anywhere you need quick, convenient air conditioning

An Energy-Efficient Choice

The EPA, which manages the Energy Star program, does not rate portable air conditioners for efficiency or award them an Energy Star designation. But with an EER of up to 9.4, ZoneAire is a great choice if you want an energy-efficient portable.

Zone Aire: Cooling from 9300-11600 Btu/h

Up to 9.4 EER

Why a Micron Reading Rises After Evacuation

June 16, 2011 Peter General Info

First of all, it’s normal for the reading to increase after the system is isolated from the vacuum pump, and a rise in microns doesn’t necessarily mean you have a leak or that the gauge is defective. Assuming you’re using a digital gauge (and you should), it’s highly accurate and extremely sensitive to what’s happening in the system.

If the reading rises rapidly at first but levels off in the 1000-3000 micron range, chances are the rise is related to the out-gassing of your charging hoses. One solution is to use a 4-in-1 core removal tool, which lets you completely isolate the charging hoses by giving you the ability to valve them off and measure the vacuum of the system only.

If the reading rises at a steady rate and doesn ’t level off, then you probably have a leak. You’ll need to find and fix the leak, and repeat the evacuation process to make sure it’s fixed.
