High-Capacity Through-the-Wall System for Cellars Up to 2,000 Cubic Feet
CellarCool CX8800 Wine Cellar Cooling is Discontinued. Highly Recommended Cooling for up to 2000 cubic feet is the WhisperKOOL SC PRO 8000 Wine Cellar Cooling System.
The CellarCool CX8800 is a high-output, through-the-wall wine cellar cooling system engineered for large residential and light commercial wine rooms.
It delivers 4,754 BTUh of cooling capacity and can maintain 55°F cellar temperature when condenser intake air does not exceed 85°F, provided the room is fully insulated and vapor sealed.
This unit is designed for sustained performance in large thermal-load environments — not small cabinets or decorative wine displays.
Reminder: The CellarCool CX Series Wine Cooling Unit CX8800 requires the area it is releasing or exhausting its hot air doesn't exceed 85°F for your wine cellar to be at 55°F.
Available in CX2200 for 265 cu.ft wine cellar, CX3300 for 650 cu.ft wine cellar, CX4400 for 1000 cu.ft wine cellar, CX8800 for 2000 cu.ft wine cellar
Quick Decision Guide
Choose the CX8800 if:
- Your cellar is up to 2,000 cubic feet
- The room is fully insulated and vapor sealed
- You have proper rear ventilation space
- You can provide a dedicated 20-amp 115V circuit
- Noise levels around 68 dBA are acceptable
Do NOT choose the CX8800 if:
- The cellar is smaller and risks oversizing
- The unit must vent into a sealed closet
- The space exceeds 85°F on the condenser side
- Ultra-quiet operation is required (consider split system)
Correct sizing and installation determine performance.
Cooling Performance & Environmental Limits
Rated Cooling Capacity
- BTUh: 4,754 (with 85°F condenser air entering coil)
- Max Cellar Size: 2,000 cubic feet
- Temperature Delta: Maintains 55°F cellar with up to 85°F condenser intake air
Critical Conditions
The 2,000 cu. ft. rating assumes:
- R-19 wall insulation (minimum)
- R-30 ceiling insulation
- Proper vapor barrier installation
- Minimal air leakage
- Limited glass exposure
- Adequate rear ventilation
If condenser intake air exceeds 85°F, cooling capacity decreases.
Improper room construction reduces system effectiveness.
Installation Requirements
Installation Type
Through-the-wall, partially ducted
Ventilation Requirements
- Rear exhaust only
- Must vent into well-ventilated area
- Cannot vent into sealed mechanical closet
- Heat must dissipate freely
Restricted ventilation will cause:
- Reduced cooling performance
- Compressor overheating
- Possible warranty void
Electrical Requirements
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Voltage Rating | 115V |
| Dedicated Circuit | 20 amp required |
| Running Amps | 10 amps |
| Horsepower | 1.86 HP |
A dedicated 20-amp circuit is required.
Do not share with lighting or appliances.
Improper electrical supply may result in breaker trips or system damage.
Airflow & Drainage
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Airflow (CFM) | 216 |
| Drain Line | 3/8” condensate (rear location only) |
Proper drain routing must be planned during framing.
Noise Levels
| Location | dBA |
|---|---|
| Evaporator (cellar side) | 68 dBA |
| Condenser (rear side) | 68 dBA |
68 dBA is comparable to normal conversation.
Suitable for:
- Commercial wine rooms
- Dedicated cellar spaces
Not recommended for:
- Bedrooms
- Noise-sensitive residential areas
Physical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Dimensions (W x H x D) | 16.25” x 22” x 22.25” |
| Weight | 74 lbs |
| Refrigerant | R-134a |
| Thermostat | Advanced digital display |
Opening dimensions must account for:
- Structural support
- Rear clearance
- Drain line routing
Manuals for CellarCool CX8800
Humidity Considerations
The CX8800 supports stable cellar humidity through evaporator cycling.
However, it does not actively inject humidity.
Humidity stability depends on:
- Vapor barrier integrity
- Insulation quality
- Room sealing
In dry climates, supplemental humidification may be required.
CX8800 vs Smaller CX Models
| Model | Max Room Size | BTUh | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| CX6600 | Smaller than 2,000 cu. ft. | Lower output | Mid-size rooms |
| CX8800 | Up to 2,000 cu. ft. | 4,754 BTUh | Large rooms |
| Lower CX Models | Small residential | Lower | Compact spaces |
Oversizing may cause short cycling.
Undersizing may cause continuous runtime.
Warranty Coverage
| Coverage | Term |
|---|---|
| Parts & Labor | 2 Years |
| Compressor | 5 Years |
Warranty is manufacturer-backed and requires:
- Proper ventilation
- Dedicated electrical circuit
- Installation per manufacturer guidelines
Improper installation may void coverage.
Important Before Ordering
Confirm the following:
- Room cubic footage
- Insulation R-values
- Vapor barrier installation
- Electrical capacity
- Rear ventilation availability
- Ambient temperature of exhaust area
If uncertain, consult a cellar cooling specialist before purchasing.

📚 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Cooling performance decreases. The unit may run continuously and struggle to maintain 55°F. Extended high intake temperatures can shorten compressor life.
Yes. A 115V 20-amp dedicated circuit is required. Sharing the circuit may cause breaker trips and potential damage.
68 dBA is comparable to normal conversation. It is acceptable for commercial or dedicated cellar spaces but may be noticeable in quiet residential areas.
No. The CX8800 requires rear ventilation into a well-ventilated area. Installing in a sealed closet will cause overheating and system failure.
It supports stable humidity through cooling cycles but does not actively add moisture. In dry climates or improperly sealed rooms, a humidifier may be required.
Yes, but only if the room is fully insulated, vapor sealed, and condenser intake air does not exceed 85°F. Poor insulation or higher ambient temperatures will reduce effective capacity.
Oversizing can cause short cycling, which reduces efficiency and may shorten compressor lifespan. Always confirm load calculations before purchase."]
