Room Cooling & Humidity Control

We plan the equipment around room size, barrel storage, door use and your temperature and humidity targets. The work can include cooling, Humidification, heating and remote monitoring.

Cellar Service & Upgrades

We check the cooling equipment, glycol supply and Controls when a room is not holding temperature or humidity.

Common Questions

How are temperature and humidity controlled in a Barrel Room?

Unit Coolers remove heat, which also dries the air, so Humidifiers add moisture back. A controller holds both setpoints and can add night-air cooling and CO2 ventilation.

Why isn’t our Barrel Room Cooling keeping up?

Common causes are dirty coils, a failed Unit Cooler Fan, low glycol flow, a stuck Valve, or doors and air leaks letting in warm air. We check both the cooling equipment and the room.

What temperature and humidity should a Barrel Room hold?

It depends on your wine and aging program. We set the room to the temperature and humidity targets you choose and hold them there.

Can a Barrel Room be too humid?

Yes. Too much moisture grows mold and damages labels and surfaces. We check the Humidifier Controls, sensors and air movement.

What causes low humidity in a Barrel Room?

Long cooling run times dry the air. A failed Humidifier or humidity sensor and air leaks to the outside also do it.

What maintenance does Barrel Room Cooling need?

Plan on checks of the coils, Fans and drains, the Humidifiers and their drains, and the temperature and humidity sensors and Controls.
