INTARCON VSF-GG-1014A split refrigeration system with wine/cheese-room evaporator

Microclimate control for wine and cheese rooms

INTARCON VSF-GG-1014A is a split system for wine and cheese storage. This specialist system is designed for wine and cheese storage where relative humidity matters alongside cooling. Manufacturer sizing conditions refer to +15 °C and 70 % RH. Consider this range when simple temperature-only control does not meet the required storage process.

Practical benefits

• Temperature and humidity regulation: allows the room microclimate to be matched to the stored product. Setpoints must follow the wine or cheese storage requirements.
• Heating and dehumidification functions: provide control when cooling alone is insufficient. A condensate pump assists drainage.
• Separate room-volume estimates: distinguish insulated and uninsulated rooms. These figures represent different construction conditions and must not be treated as equivalent.

Range configuration and selection limits

The (K) designation identifies a catalogue configuration with a humidification kit. These configurations include an external steam humidifier rated at 3 kg/h. A model without (K) must not be assumed to include the same kit. Coordinate water, power and drainage provisions during design.

Condensing unit location and installation

An axial-fan unit needs unobstructed air intake and discharge. Avoid an enclosed, unventilated recess. Where ducted heat rejection is necessary, select a suitable centrifugal configuration and check its own technical ratings.

The manufacturer specifies a maximum vertical separation of 15 m with the condensing unit above the evaporator, or 6 m with it below. These are elevation limits, not pre-charge pipe lengths. Provide a trapped, sloping condensate drain and follow the installation drawing for refrigerant piping and oil return.

How to size this model

Published capacity points for this factory model: +15 °C. In the specification, compare capacity and estimated room volume at the same room temperature. Cooling capacity is not electrical input. Provide internal room dimensions, insulation, ambient temperature, daily product load and incoming temperature, door-opening frequency and the proposed pipe route. An unpublished operating point must not be substituted by a rating at a different temperature.

Supply scope and documentation

Supply covers the factory condensing unit, evaporator and range-specific controls. The cold-room enclosure, site copper pipework and insulation, electrical installation and commissioning are planned separately. Pre-charge for 10 m does not itself mean that pipes or all interconnecting cables are supplied.
