Summary

The following guidelines are designed to help you select the correct CellarPro wine cooling unit for your Le Cache wine cabinet.

CellarPro 1800QTL Our quietest cooling unit designed for residential applications, the 1800QTL is appropriate for all but the largest wine cabinets provided that the cabinet will be in a temperature-controlled environment.
CellarPro 1800QT Slightly louder than the 1800QTL, this cooling unit provides extra BTU and easily can maintain 55°F in our largest wine cabinets.
CellarPro 1800XT The 1800XT cooling unit is recommended for wine cabinets that will be placed in restaurants and other commercial applications, as well as non-temperature-controlled environments -- like garages and basements -- up to 95°F.

Legend

The tables are shaded to show which cooling units will and won't work given the thermal load derived from the size of the cabinet and the ambient temperature, as follows:

The light-shaded numbers represent thermal loads that are within the capacity of all CellarPro 1800 cooling units (ie 1800QTL, 1800QT and 1800XT).
The medium-shaded numbers represent thermal loads that are within the capacity of the 1800QT and 1800XT, but not the 1800QTL, cooling units.
The dark-shaded numbers in italics are within the capacity of the 1800XT cooling unit only.

Analysis

We provide the estimated thermal loads for Le Cache wine cabinets across a range of ambient temperatures to help you select the appropriate CellarPro wine cooling unit for your wine cabinet. The top table provides data assuming that the wine cabinet temperature is maintained at an average of 55°F, and the bottom table provides data assuming that the wine cabinet temperature is maintained at an average of 60°F.

The assumptions regarding restocking and opening/closing of the doors are appropriate for residential applications. If the wine cabinet will be placed in a commercial envirnoment, the thermal load will be higher, in which case CellarPro's 1800XT is recommended.

(1) To calculate the approximate "run time" over a 24-hour period, divide the thermal load (based on the average ambient over the 24-hour period) by the BTUH.
