Benefits for Winery Cooling
Better Air Quality: Continuously circulates fresh air and regulates humidity levels, ensuring optimal conditions for wine storage and production while reducing odors and airborne contaminants.
Energy Efficiency: Lowers energy consumption and utility costs compared to traditional cooling systems, making it an economical choice for wineries.
Cost-Effective: Requires minimal maintenance and offers low operational costs, providing a budget-friendly solution for maintaining ideal conditions in your winery.
Eco-Friendly: Utilizes water and natural airflow to cool the space, reducing environmental impact and supporting your winery’s sustainability initiatives.
Enhanced Wine Quality: Indirect evaporative cooling maintains consistent temperature and humidity levels allowing wineries to minimise the evaporation of wine and preserve its character and quality. As a result, wineries can experience a reduction in angel’s share, increased efficiency and improved product quality.
Minimise yield loss to evaporation – “Angel’s Share”
Angel’s share is a term used in the wine industry to describe the natural evaporation of wine from oak barrels during aging. This phenomenon can have a significant impact on the volume and quality of the wine, leading to decreased profitability for wineries. However, proper climate control in barrel halls can help reduce the negative impact of angel’s share. When installed in barrel halls, Climate Wizard indirect evaporative cooling maintains consistent temperature and humidity levels allowing wineries to minimise the evaporation of wine and preserve its character and quality. As a result, wineries can experience a reduction in angel’s share, increased efficiency and improved product quality.
Premium quality evaporative cooling solutions by Seeley International are perfect for cellar and winery cooling
Harness the power of Evaporative cooling
Levantine Hill Estate case study
Levantine Hill Estate, established in 2009 in the Yarra Valley (Australia), is known for its commitment to winemaking excellence. To maintain the ideal conditions for its 577m² barrel hall, which stores 178,000 liters of wine, the winery required precise climate control.
Seeley International provided the Climate Wizard CW-80S and Smart Wine Controller to maintain a stable temperature of 14°C, 75% humidity, and safe CO2 levels. The CW-80S model supplies 6,400 L/s of fresh air, ensuring energy efficiency and optimal wine storage conditions, while the Smart Wine Controller integrates with the winery’s BMS for seamless operation.
Evaporative Cooling Applications
Evaporative air conditioning has a wide range of cooling applications
Evaporative cooling is an ideal solution for winery cooling, where maintaining stable temperature and humidity levels is crucial for preserving wine quality and supporting the aging process. This system enhances air quality by supplying 100% fresh, filtered outside air, improving ventilation and reducing CO2 and VOC levels. It effectively manages both temperature and humidity, creating the perfect environment for wine storage and production, ensuring optimal conditions for the wine while maintaining a comfortable space for staff.

The evaporative air conditioning unit is a cost-effective cooling solution, ideal for industries, factories, warehouses, and large-format retail spaces. It provides efficient cooling while using up to 80% less energy than refrigerated systems, making it particularly effective in high-traffic areas where doors are frequently opened and closed.
Evaporative cooling is well-suited for various sectors, including technical cooling, textiles, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and commercial spaces, as it provides numerous benefits for Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). These include continuous fresh air circulation, natural air filtration through cooling pads, and the reduction of pollutants, dust, and odors. By adding moisture to the air, it helps control humidity, preventing dryness, dust, and static electricity. Unlike traditional HVAC systems, evaporative cooling doesn’t recirculate air, preventing the buildup of harmful gases. This results in a healthier work environment, enhancing comfort, reducing respiratory irritation, and increasing worker productivity.

Industrial air conditioning unit Frequently Asked Questions
- Evaporative air conditioners (coolers) are excellent for health
- They supply 100% fresh, filtered air into your building that is not recirculated, improving Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) of the space, supporting customer and staff well-being
- They remove unhealthy pollution from your indoor environment
- They provide basic moisture that the human body needs
- They remove static electricity; they can assist in reducing the effects of illnesses such as asthma.
A high inlet water temperature does not have a marked effect on the supply temperature of Seeley International’s evaporative air conditioners.
Yes. Outdoor areas have no walls to contain the cool air. These spaces would be impossible to cool using refrigerated air conditioning because this relies on recirculating and reusing air from a sealed area. Evaporative air conditioners (coolers) can easily supply a flow of fresh and cool air to open and semi open areas since the air is exhausted naturally.
In most cases evaporative air conditioners (coolers) marginally increase humidity, keeping in mind that temperature has also dropped significantly. It is the combination of temperature, humidity and airflow that creates human comfort and evaporative air conditioners are used widely around the world because they can create comfortable conditions. For example, 80% humidity and 30°C (86°F) is very uncomfortable, but 80% humidity and 16°C (61°F) is very comfortable. Comfort is also improved by increasing air velocity in hot conditions and evaporative air conditioners create sufficient air movement to minimise the effects of humidity.
Air inside the building collects heat, moisture and impurities and must be exhausted. The evaporative air conditioner (cooler) provides 100% outside air which must be relieved from the building. If the building is sealed, the effectiveness of the cooler(s) will be reduced. Mechanical extraction or even just leaving some doors or windows open helps remove unhealthy air from the indoor environment by supplying 100% fresh, filtered air. For this reason, evaporative air conditioners (coolers) are much healthier than refrigerated air conditioning.
