Product Description

Special model WLB-450FHU with unique active humidification management

No more worries about dried-out corks and oxidized wine.
When wine coolers work at room temperature, the cooling effect automatically brings the relative humidity inside the cooler to the desired 50% or so for optimal wine storage. However, during the winter months, central heating can dry out the indoor air significantly. The heating system in wine coolers located in cold cellars may also be activated, further exacerbating the dryness of the air. When these dry conditions persist over weeks or even months, the relative humidity within the wine cooler can drop severely enough to cause corks to dry out, letting oxygen into the wine bottle. When this happens, the wine obviously goes very bad, very quickly.

To address this scenario, SWISSCAVE has developed a unique, electronically-controlled, air humidification system, letting the user set the desired relative humidity level between 60 and 85% in the wine cooler. The intelligent control system uses sensors to ensure that the interior is regularly supplied with additional moisture when the air is too dry. Thanks to the new convection humidifier, there is much less waterlogging.

SWISSCAVE launched product as a device that actively controls and monitors not only the temperature but also the relative humidity in the interior.

In the following scenarios it is essential to ensure that the air surrounding the wine is raised to the neccessary level of relative humidity (>50%) by means of active air humidification managemen:

• Normal room temperature (approx. 20° or higher), however, for a longer time period (months) dry air in the room
• Room temparature of only approx. 12-16°, and room air for a longer time period below 50-55% relative humidity
• Room is cool (below approx. 10-12°) for a longer time period

Moisture values vary depending on the application and can therefore not be guaranteed. The goal is a moderate increase in humidity to prevent the medium to long-term drying of the cork. Further information on air humitdification can be found here.

The SWISSCAVE 1-zone wine cellar WLB-450FHU-BDGY is specially equipped for the storage of burgundy bottles. Due to their bulbous shape, these require a larger bearing height and thus optimized separations (9 bottles per separation). This model from the Black Edition impresses with its purist design, which is ideal for solitary installation in private and commercial environments.

If desired, display trays are available, offering you an optimal view of the wine labels. This option can be ordered in the Accessories section.
