*Extreme Climate Protection Bundle
For Self-Contained Ducted systems: Contains an integral compressor crankcase heater and controls to protect the system against low temperatures (required when inlet air to the condenser coil is below 40°F/5°C). The bundle also contains an integral high capacity condenser fan and coil for operation at elevated ambient temperatures. This bundle should be considered when inlet air to the condenser coil is above 100°F/38°C (condenser air inlet cannot exceed 120°F/49°C).
For Ducted Split systems: Unit protection in extreme climate conditions (on the condenser section only). It is required for continuous operation in climates that fall below 20°F. Enables the system to operate in temperatures as low as -20°F.

Product Overview
The Wine Guardian CS050 Wine Wall Cooling System is a premium ductless wine cellar cooling unit built for projects where reliable temperature control must be combined with a clean, architectural appearance. It is specifically designed to mount flush with the ceiling of a wine wall, helping eliminate the appearance of bulky cooling equipment inside the wine display.
This system is intended to help maintain the ideal wine cellar temperature for long-term wine storage and serving applications. It can support long-term storage conditions from approximately 55°F to 58°F and can also cool toward serving temperatures as low as 45°F when correctly specified and installed.
Because the CS050 uses a ductless split configuration, the evaporator is installed near the wine display while the condensing unit is located outside. This makes it a strong fit for wine walls, small wine rooms, glass wine displays, and premium residential projects where ductwork is not practical.
Best For
Wine wall installations
Glass-enclosed wine displays
Luxury residential wine rooms
Small to mid-size wine cellars
Projects where ductwork is not feasible
Design-focused spaces where visible cooling equipment should be minimized
Homeowners, builders, and designers working with limited mechanical room space
Not Recommended For
Large commercial wine cellars with high cooling loads
Projects where an outdoor condenser cannot be placed
DIY installations without a qualified refrigeration professional
Applications requiring a self-contained through-the-wall cooling unit
Recommended Applications
Wine Walls
The CS050 is specifically designed for wine wall applications where cooling performance and visual discretion are both important.
Glass Wine Displays
Its ceiling-mounted configuration works well for modern glass wine displays where airflow, aesthetics, and temperature stability all matter.
Small to Mid-Size Wine Rooms
The CS050 can support many small to mid-size wine room projects when the actual heat load is within the unit’s capacity range.
Luxury Residential Projects
The concealed design makes this system well suited for premium homes, remodels, and custom wine storage spaces where visible equipment would interrupt the room design.
Key Benefits of the Wine Guardian CS050
Discreet Ceiling-Mounted Installation
The CS050 is designed to be mounted flush within the ceiling of a wine wall or wine display area. This helps preserve the look of the room while still delivering dedicated wine storage cooling.
Ductless Split Flexibility
The ductless split design separates the evaporator and condenser, eliminating the need for ductwork. This makes it useful when there is no room for ducts, limited space in mechanical areas, or difficulty exhausting condenser air from the wine room.
Easy Access and Installation Support
The Wine Wall Cooling System and Ceiling Mounted System include a hinge design that helps support ceiling installation. The grille can also be removed without tools, making service access easier.
Remote System Control
The remote interface controller allows users to adjust temperature and monitor humidity. Wine Guardian’s Wireless2Base™ Technology allows flexible controller placement inside or outside the wine room when paired with remote sensors.
Matched Outdoor Condenser
The CS050 uses an outdoor condensing unit made by Wine Guardian to work with the evaporator. The evaporator and condenser are connected by copper tubing, similar to many residential split-system installations.
Temperature and Humidity Monitoring
The remote controller uses air sensing technology to monitor wine cellar temperature and humidity. This helps maintain consistent storage conditions for long-term wine preservation.
Field-Serviceable Design
The grille assembly can be removed without tools, giving service professionals access to the controls and internal components. Wine Guardian ductless split systems are designed to be serviced in the field rather than returned to the factory.
Pairs With Wine Guardian Humidifiers
Temperature control alone may not be enough for long-term wine preservation. Proper wine cellar humidity helps protect corks and reduce wine quality issues related to dry storage conditions.
Advantages
Concealed ceiling-mounted design for wine walls
No ductwork required
Designed for glass wine displays and premium residential wine rooms
Outdoor condenser helps move condenser heat away from the wine display
Supports long-term wine storage and serving temperature applications
Tool-free grille access for easier service
Compatible with Wine Guardian controls, sensors, and humidifier options
Limitations
Requires professional refrigeration installation
Requires outdoor condenser placement
Not a self-contained through-the-wall system
Not ideal for large commercial wine cellar projects
Cooling capacity must be confirmed by heat-load calculation
Electrical requirements differ between evaporator and condenser
Installation Requirements
The Wine Guardian CS050 should be installed by a qualified HVAC or refrigeration professional. Proper sizing, refrigerant line routing, electrical compatibility, condenser placement, and airflow planning are essential for reliable wine cellar performance.

Sizing note: Wine cellar cooling should not be selected by cubic footage alone. Glass exposure, insulation quality, door type, lighting, room location, ambient temperature, and bottle load can all affect required cooling capacity.
The standard base model includes Low Ambient Protection, helping protect the system from cold temperatures below 40°F / 5°C.
Extreme Climate Protection
Extreme Climate Protection is designed to protect the condenser section during extreme climate conditions. This option helps support continuous operation in climates where temperatures may fall below 20°F and allows operation in temperatures as low as -20°F when properly applied.
Accessories and Control Options
Remote Interface Controller
The Wine Guardian Remote Interface Controller includes thermostat, humidistat, and monitoring controls.
Remote Sensor
The Wine Guardian Remote Sensor detects temperature and humidity in the wine cellar.
Communication Cable
The Communication Cable connects the Remote Interface Controller to the Wine Guardian cooling unit.
Humidifier Options
Freestanding Humidifier Wall Mount
The Wine Guardian Freestanding Humidifier includes a power-control cable that connects to the Wine Guardian cooling system and includes a wall-mount bracket.
Freestanding Humidifier Wall Mount Bracket
This Wine Guardian Freestanding Humidifier option includes a wall mount bracket, power cord, and humidistat.
Warranty Information
Manufacturer Warranty
Wine Guardian warrants, to the original buyer, a period of two (2) years parts and one (1) year labor from the date of invoicing, assuming normal use and service.
3 Year Extended Compressor Warranty
This optional warranty extends the warranty period for the compressor, evaporator coil, and condenser coil by three (3) years for parts only.
The Wine Guardian CS050 is a strong choice for wine wall and glass wine display projects where cooling performance must be integrated into a clean architectural design. Its ceiling-mounted evaporator and outdoor condenser configuration make it especially useful for residential projects where visible through-the-wall equipment is not desired.
We recommend confirming the project’s cooling load before purchase, especially for glass-heavy wine walls, warm ambient conditions, or installations with unusual room geometry. For larger or more complex cellars, a larger split system or ducted system may be a better fit.
