Replacing the cooling equipment serving an existing wine room.
This project focused on the wine room’s dedicated split-system refrigeration equipment. The replacement scope covered the indoor evaporator, the remote outdoor condensing unit, associated controls, and condensate drainage service.
For a homeowner considering similar work, this is an example of the equipment and installation steps involved. The correct replacement for another wine cellar depends on its cooling load, room construction, airflow, and available installation space.
Existing equipment
The documented scope included refrigerant recovery and removal of the existing condensing unit and evaporator.
Indoor + outdoor cooling
A new LRC evaporator was paired with a Copeland condensing unit, with pressure controls, a fan-cycle control, and an outdoor hood.
Drainage + startup
The installation scope included drain clearing, evacuation, refrigerant charging, startup testing, and control checks.
Two parts of one dedicated wine cooling system.
The indoor evaporator serves the wine room while the condensing unit sits outside. This project retained that split-system arrangement.
- Indoor: LRC BK17-40 evaporator, 115V.
- Outdoor: Copeland ⅓-horsepower high-temperature condensing unit, R134a, 115V.
- Controls: dual pressure and fan-cycle controls.
- Supporting components: suction accumulator and Koolstar outdoor hood.

About this Fort Worth wine cellar replacement.
Was this a new wine cellar or an existing system replacement?
This Fort Worth project replaced the refrigeration equipment serving an existing wine room. The work included an indoor evaporator and a separate outdoor condensing unit.
What cooling equipment was installed?
The project used an LRC BK17-40 indoor evaporator paired with a Copeland ⅓-horsepower R134a outdoor condensing unit. These are the components documented for this particular installation; equipment selection for another cellar requires its own evaluation.
Can Vivid Air DFW evaluate my existing split-system wine cellar?
Yes. We evaluate dedicated split-system wine cellar cooling equipment and discuss repair or replacement based on the existing system and installation conditions. Call (682) 267-7061 to discuss your wine room.
Do you replace refrigerator-style wine coolers?
No. Our wine cellar work focuses on ducted and ductless split systems with separate indoor and outdoor equipment. We do not service appliance-style wine refrigerators, reach-in coolers, or self-contained wine cooling units.
