Transtherm Wine Cabinets

Transtherm technology

The technology used by TRANSTHERM puts forward the know-how of the professionals to bring together the five criteria required for optimal wine preservation: reinforced insulation, automatic temperature control, adapted humidity, natural ventilation and absence of vibration.

Reinforced insulation
The walls of our cabinets are made of three successive thermal barriers. The internal walls are made of strong and odourless insulating shock resistant polystyrene, which absorb any vibration from the compressor. The robust and aesthetically decorative exterior walls are reinforced at the corners by insulating sections. The 4.5 cm thick high density expanded foam which is injected, ensures optimal insulation. The TRANSTHERM cabinets thus have a rigidity adapted to wine bottle storage and thermal stability worthy of that of the best natural cellars.

Automatic temperature control
When the ambient temperature rises above the ideal wine preservation temperature, a cold circuit, driven by a very slow cycle compressor mounted on silent-blocks, comes into action. The cold circuit coil, made of aluminium, is within the aluminium back wall of the cabinet, for a better temperature distribution. In case of a drop of temperature, an electrical resistance, which is also within the back wall, will come into action and automatically increase the temperature.

Adapted humidity
Bottle corks need specific hygrometric conditions in order not to dry out.The thermal pump (TRANSTHERM exclusivity) allows hot humid air to be obtained automatically. Natural condensation on the back wall records a hygrometric value between 55 and 80%.

Natural ventilation
Bottle corks need specific hygrometric conditions in order not to dry out. The thermal pump (TRANSTHERM exclusivity) allows hot humid air to be obtained automatically. Natural condensation on the back wall records a hygrometric value between 55 and 80%.

Absence of vibration
In order to avoid the mould phenomenon, which would generate bad odours and risk deteriorating the corks, TRANSTHERM cabinets have natural permanent ventilation, based on the same principal as the thermal pump.

Thermal regulation
TRANSTHERM cabinets are equipped with a temperature regulation system which uses liquid bulb thermostats, specifically designed for this purpose. The sensitivity and precision of these thermostats operate either the cold or hot circuit at the right moment, and as quickly as possible, in order to maintain, with an external temperature between 0 and 35°C (32 to 95°F), a maximum temperature variation of 1.5°C inside the wine cabinet. All TRANSTHERM cabinets are equipped with a temperature setting and control panel. The transtherm cabinets are equipped with a control panel with liquid crystal temperature display
