WINE CELLAR humidification:

TecnoCooling systems are used with enormous advantages, to keep the right humidity and temperature levels inside wine cellars.

Wine cellars during the whole year or in some periods don't reach a good humidity level and are subject to various problems. A low humidity level is the main factor that causes natural evaporation of wine with the consequent loss of quality and money, not only for the product time and manpower due to the consequent essential re-filling of wine into barrels. Moreover wood barrels are subject to dehydration of their external board structure which compromises the quality and efficiency in same time.

Barriques must be stored in a place protected from draughts and light. Optimal humidity level oscillates among 65% and the 85%.
Under 65%, the risk of dehydration of barrels is very high while over the 85% they could develop fungus and moulds.

A humidity level among 80% and 85% allows to reduce drammatically the "wine loss".

TecnoCooling misting systems resolve naturally and in economic way, all these problems by regulating the humidity in the wine cellars and keeps its temperature. The water sprayed by the system is atomized by special patented nozzles able to produce thin droplets of a diameter smaller than 5-10 microns, which are immediately absorbed by the air without wetting things and underlying on surfaces.
The results are notable: barrels are kept efficient for longer, preserving the quality of the wood, allowing an excellent production and preventing the natural evaporation of the product.
They allow such a costs saving that the system
refunds the investment in few months.

The entire structure of barrels takes advantage from a right humidity level.
To prevent any risk of barrel dehydration and opening of their joints during the storage, it is recommended to avoid the airflow and the excessive ventilation in the wine cellars.
With the right humidity level the barriques will feel "ease"!

Advantages:
Benefits from the implement of fog systems in wine cellars
are considerable:

Increased general productivity of the wine cellar
Keeping of constant humidity levels
Eliminates the dehydration of wood barrels
It prevents the natural evaporation of the wine
It reduces the costs of manpower of periodic refilling
It helps to keep the right temperature
It is economic if compared to other solutions

TOTAL CONTROL - TecnoCooling systems also supply several electronically controlled task thanks to special devices like thermostats, hygrostats and remote timers. In this way it is possible to keep the desired environment, during the whole day, independently from the external climatic conditions.

LOW COST SYSTEMS - Very low cost of our systems are an important aspect of misting in wine cellars, if compared to other solutions for the climate control.
The energy costs are low, simple and fast installations. Systems are supplied in various solutions or in D-I-Y Kits, with the simple solutions of quick couplings. TecnoCooling systems are designed to operate with very low costs and with a minimum maintenance.


How to save money with Humidification:

TecnoCooling systems are easy to install and their payback is within few months. Winemakers report that wine loss is dramatically cut and the result are great savings in a very short time.

A brief calculation in support for the need to install TECNOCOOLING SYSTEM for HUMIDIFICATION:

A typical Barrel contains 225 liters of wine.
There is an evaporative loss of 15% annually, which comes to 33 liters.
Taking Cost per liter of spirit as € 10,00.
The loss comes to € 330 / barrel / year.
So, if there are 100 barrels, there will be a total loss of € 33000 per year.

Considering the cost of the TecnoCooling system and its running cost, the payback for the system is within first six months of its installation. And after that you start saving a very large substantial amount, every year, each year.
