The Breezaire WKL 1060 Wine Cellar Cooling System is a self-contained, through-the-wall cooling unit designed for properly insulated wine cellars up to 140 cubic feet. Its compact design combines cooling components and digital temperature controls in one unit, making it suitable for small residential wine cellars and other appropriately constructed wine storage spaces.
Featuring the Breezaire Sentry III electronic control system, the WKL 1060 provides adjustable temperature settings and a digital display for monitoring cellar conditions. Its built-in design simplifies installation compared with systems that require separate remote condensers and refrigerant lines.
Key Features
- Designed for cellars up to 140 cubic feet: Suitable for compact wine storage spaces that meet the unit's construction and ventilation requirements.
- Through-the-wall installation: Installs through a suitable wall opening, with the warm-side exhaust directed into an adequately ventilated adjacent space.
- Self-contained cooling system: Houses the cooling components within a single cabinet.
- Sentry III electronic controls: Provides adjustable temperature settings and a green LED display.
- Humidity management: Helps regulate excess moisture as part of the cooling process.
- Power outage protection: Includes a control-system feature designed to provide protection during power interruptions.
- Blocked-airflow protection: Includes a protective feature that responds to restricted airflow.
Designed for Small Wine Cellars
The WKL 1060 is intended for properly insulated and sealed wine enclosures with suitable airflow. Its 1,060 BTU cooling capacity makes it an option for compact residential wine cellar projects, including certain closet or under-stair conversions.
Actual cooling performance depends on factors such as cellar insulation, room conditions, ventilation, heat load, and installation. Confirm that the unit is appropriately sized for your specific space before purchasing.
Digital Temperature Control
The integrated Sentry III electronic control system features a green LED display and adjustable temperature settings. It allows users to monitor the cellar temperature and adjust the set point as needed.
Installation Requirements
Proper installation is essential for the WKL 1060 to operate as intended. Before installation, confirm that your wine cellar and surrounding space meet the unit's requirements.
- A properly insulated and sealed wine enclosure
- A suitable wall opening for through-the-wall installation
- A properly grounded 115V electrical outlet with adequate capacity
- Sufficient airflow around the unit
- A suitable location for the warm exhaust air to discharge
- Cellar volume within the recommended capacity
The unit releases heat from its condenser side. The installation area must allow that heat to dissipate rather than recirculate into the cooling system. Review the manufacturer's installation instructions before beginning installation.
