The experts from Arctic Metalworks Inc. were able to install a customized cooling system setup that would meet his cabinet’s distinctive needs.

The wine cabinets in this project were sealed by glass doors. The area inside each cabinet was very small, and there was little space to vent air in and out the structure. Standard-sized ducting would not fit inside the cabinets. The challenge for the HVAC experts from Arctic was to set up a refrigeration system that would allow them to use special-sized – smaller than the usual – ducting.

The team of HVAC technicians from Arctic Metalworks Inc. installed a Unico High Pressure cooling unit for the Laguna Beach wine cabinets. This type of refrigeration system allowed them to use ducting that was smaller than the standard size.

Setting Up a Ducted Split Type Cooling System

Click image to view a larger version of the photo!The cooling equipment that was chosen for this project was a ducted split type system. In this kind of setup, the refrigeration unit was installed in a separate mechanical room.

Ducts were used to carry cool air from the HVAC unit into the cabinets. Another set of ducts vented the warm air out from the storage space. This was the most ideal configuration, considering the limited area inside the cabinets for installing equipment.

Special-Sized Ducts that were Smaller than Standard

Two-inch ducts were used for the Unico High Pressure cooling system. A total of eight ducts were set up. For each cabinet, two ducts were allocated – one was a supply and the other was a return. Supply ducts were the ones that carried coolness into the wine cabinets. The return ducts brought warm air out of the storage space and into a separate room.

There were four cabinets, and each one had two ducts allocated. A total of eight ducts were installed. Each pair of ducting had a supply and a return. The supply ducts brought cool air in, while the return ducts vented warm air out.

The Unico cooling equipment uses a high pressure forced air system, which is necessary to push cool air through the extra thin ducting.
