If you’re a homeowner living in a coastal area, you may be wondering whether there are any special considerations for cellar cooling using waste chill. It’s a good question and the answer is yes!
Cellar cooling is an important part of keeping your wines at the perfect temperature for long term storage, but in a coastal area, the air temperature and humidity can be particularly challenging. This means that you need to think carefully about how to create the right environment for your cellar.
One solution is to use waste chill generated by air conditioning systems. This is a great way of making the most of existing energy resources while still ensuring that your cellar stays at the ideal temperature and humidity levels.
The Benefits of Installing Heat & Chill Recovery Systems
When it comes to using waste chill for cellar cooling, there are several benefits that come with installing heat and chill recovery systems. Firstly, they will help reduce energy costs as they capture waste energy from air conditioning units and use it to cool your cellar instead of relying on expensive or carbon-intensive sources like electricity or gas. Secondly, they’ll help maintain consistent temperatures within your cellar, ensuring that your wines are kept at their best all year round. Finally, these systems are more efficient than traditional air conditioning units as they use less energy overall.
What about Cost Savings?
When it comes to cost savings, heat and chill recovery systems offer significant potential for reducing running costs over time. For example, if you have an average-sized wine cellar with an area of around 15m2 (161 sq ft), then installing a heat and chill recovery system could save you around $400 AUD per year in electricity costs alone – not to mention the savings on gas bills if applicable!
