Description
APEX 7000
High capacity for showcase cellars.
APEX 7000 provides 6346 BTU/h for large rooms up to about 2,000 cu ft with robust insulation.
The remote, fully ducted design keeps noise outside the cellar.
Built for continuous duty with clear service access for technicians.
Wall Openings
- Two 6″ x 12″ wall openings are installed on opposite sides of the cellar to generate effective cross-flow:
- Supply Air: High on the wall
- Return Air: Low on the wall
Mechanical Room Access
- Adequate space nearby to house the cooling unit
- Ventilation in the room is sufficient to dissipate heat
Ductwork Requirements
- Ducts (e.g., 8″ supply and 8″ return) are planned with:
- Maximum of 25 feet per duct (50 feet total combined)
- Smooth, gradual bends (avoid sharp turns)
- Ducts will be insulated to prevent condensation and minimize noise
2 Electrical & Drainage
Dedicated Electrical Circuit
- A dedicated circuit is available for the unit:
- Typically 115V/20A (or 120V/15A, based on your specific unit requirements)
Drain Access
- A drain is located within 15 inches of the unit, or a condensate pump is planned if farther away
- Ensure proper drain line installation with a slight slope and no blockages
3 Cellar Construction & Insulation
Insulation Standards
- Walls: Minimum R20 insulation
- Ceiling: R20–R30 insulation
- Floor: Minimum R20 insulation (if the cellar isn’t in a basement)
Vapor Barrier
- A vapor barrier is installed on the warm side of the walls/ceiling
Floor & Door Considerations
- There are no heated floors, or a 12-inch gap is maintained if present
- The cellar door has proper seals; note that glass doors may need additional insulation
4 Ambient Conditions
Mechanical Room Temperature
- The room housing the unit maintains an ambient temperature between 50°F and 77°F (10°C to 25°C)
Humidity Control
- The cellar area is not prone to high humidity, reducing the risk of mold and system strain
5 Installation Preparation
Unit Handling
- The cooling unit must be kept in an upright position, with the compressor at the bottom, for at least 24 hours before installation
