Fondis’ Wine PC10 turns your cupboard into a portable cellar

Fondis of France, a specialist in air-conditioning equipment, has launched the Wine PC10 – an air-conditioned unit for storing wine in small domestic spaces. This door unit with built-in air conditioner can easily transform storerooms, box rooms and under-stair spaces into refrigerated cellars, enabling users to age several hundred bottles of wine safely.

[ClickPress, Thu Jun 29 2006] Fondis is expanding its range of WineMaster® cellar air conditioners with the Wine PC10, which enables users to transform the smallest spaces into cellars so that wines can be kept in the correct conditions. The product reflects the fact that many houses and flats do not have a cellar or other storage space to keep wine. It is a door unit with an integral air conditioner and is designed to insulate and air-condition up to 10m3. The airtight door guarantees total insulation, meaning it can be installed in any space.

Like all the cellar air conditioners developed by Fondis, the WineMaster® unit ensures that wines are preserved in perfect conditions. It guarantees total darkness and a constant temperature of between 8°C and 14°C due to its door made of a double steel envelope that is insulated with polyurethane, a high-performance insulating material. The unit also provides continuous ventilation and maintains the humidity level between 60% and 80%. All the moving parts of the Wine PC10 are mounted on rubber dampers in order to suppress the vibrations that can spoil the quality of wine.

This white airtight door is designed to be unobtrusive. The air conditioner itself is integrated inside the door and is therefore totally invisible outside of the cellar. It is very quiet, with a sound level of just 40dB at 3m. The Wine PC10 air conditioner is easy to fit – the user just has to install the door (eight fastening points), fit in the air conditioner and connect it to an electric socket. Finally, moving the equipment to another location is simple, as the door unit with built-in air conditioner is easy to remove.
