Each Transtherm/Artevino Wine Cabinet is designed to perfectly replicate those conditions found in an ideal traditional underground wine cellar-steady temperature of 55 degrees Fahrenheit with optimum humidity. The temperature can be adjusted between 42-64 degrees Fahrenheit.

Technologies

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

TRANSTHERM/Artevino wine cabinets provide for optimal wine preservation conditions, following the example of natural cellars. Your wine will improve for your optimum pleasure. The quality of the material, the display ergonomics and the contemporary design make TRANSTHERM/Artevino wine cabinets the ideal solution for safeguarding your precious collection.

Our wine cabinets also combine modularity and aesthetics to offer you optimal ergonomics.

Triple Layered body : The walls of our cabinets are made of three successive barriers. The internal walls provide a strong and versatile platform for the adjustable shelving system. The robust and aesthetically decorative exterior walls are reinforced at the corners . A new high density expanded foam (injected process up to 2.25 cm thickness) ensures optimal insulation.  The Transtherm/Artevino cabinets thus have a rigidity adapted to weight, bottle storage and thermal stability worthy of that of the best natural cellars.

Automatic Temperature Control : When the ambient temperature rises above your set temperature, the cooling cycle,  driven by a very slow compressor mounted on silent-blocks, comes into action. The cooling coil, made of aluminum, is within the aluminum back wall of the cabinet, and provides for  better temperature distribution. In case of a drop in temperature, the heating cycle, which is also within the back wall, will come into action and automatically increase the temperature.

Adapted Humidity : Bottle corks need  moderate humidity in order not to dry out.  The thermal pump (Transtherm/Artevino exclusivity) allows hot humid air to be obtained automatically. Natural condensation provides for a humidity value between 55 and 80%.

Natural Ventilation : In order to avoid the mildew/mold phenomenon, which would generate bad odors and risk deteriorating the corks, TRANSTHERM/Artevino cabinets have natural permanent ventilation, based on the principal of the thermal pump.

Absence of Vibrations : Slow and stable compressors are utilized thus eliminating any residual vibration.  This compressor is separate from the cabinet body.

Thermal Pump : The thermal pump process, (a TRANSTHERM/Artevino exclusivity), by heating the condensed water, allows the introduction of humid air within the cabinet and considerably increases the humidity value between 55% – 80%. This principle gives the cabinet natural ventilation and constant air circulation.

Temperature Control : TRANSTHERM/Artevino cabinets are equipped with an electronic control system with sensors designed for this purpose.   Precise thermostats provide for cooling and/or heating as necessary and as quickly as possible.   Transtherm cabinets function well under extreme external temperatures as low as freezing and as high as 100 degrees.   All TRANSTHERM cabinets are equipped with a temperature setting and control panel, featuring a digital display.

The Thermal Pump, Transtherm™ exclusivity for a natural ventilation and constant air circulation

The thermal pump aids to prevent  the mildew/mold phenomenon, which can generate bad odors and risks the integrity of the cork. By heating the condensed water, the thermal pump allows the introduction of humid air within the cabinet and considerably increases the humidity value between 55% – 80%.  This principle gives the cabinet natural ventilation and constant air circulation.
