The Breezaire WKL 3000 Wine Cooling System
Advanced Cooling for Larger Residential Wine Rooms
The Breezaire WKL 3000 delivers dependable cooling performance for wine rooms up to 650 cubic feet, providing the stable, cellar-quality environment required for long-term aging. Designed for standard wine cellar construction, this self-contained system installs easily through a wall and offers the cooling power needed for larger collections. Its balanced airflow pattern and reliable refrigeration system help maintain even temperatures throughout a well-sealed enclosure.
Precision Temperature Control for Proper Aging
Breezaire engineering is built around one core principle. Wine matures best when stored within a narrow, stable temperature range. The WKL 3000 is designed to maintain a constant, selectable storage temperature within the ideal 50 to 60 degree Fahrenheit band. It cools gradually and consistently rather than blowing bursts of cold air. This prevents temperature shock and supports the slow, graceful development of your wine’s flavor, aroma, and structure.
Automatic Humidity Management
Proper humidity is essential for preserving cork elasticity and ensuring long-term bottle integrity. When installed in a correctly constructed enclosure, the WKL 3000 naturally maintains relative humidity in the recommended 50 to 75 percent range by removing only excess moisture. This protects corks from drying and labels from peeling while avoiding the overly dry conditions that can disrupt proper wine aging. The system does not add humidity, but its gentle cooling action helps maintain balance within the room.
Sentry III Plus Digital Control System
The WKL 3000 features the advanced Sentry III Plus electronic control system. Its clear green LED display provides continuous temperature readings, while simple, intuitive adjustments allow precise control of your chosen set point. The controller can show either the current enclosure temperature or the set temperature during adjustment, keeping the system easy to operate and monitor.
The Sentry III Plus platform includes compressor protection timing, automatic restart delay after power interruptions, airflow blockage detection, over-heat protection, and continuous sensor monitoring with alert indicators. It can operate using the enclosure air sensor or an optional bottle probe for more precise monitoring of bottle-level temperatures. These built-in protections promote reliable, long-term performance under changing conditions.
Efficient Through-the-Wall Cooling Design
The WKL 3000 is designed for straightforward through-the-wall installation into properly constructed wine rooms. Its engineered airflow path helps distribute conditioned air evenly while exhausting heat into an adjacent, well-ventilated space. This design ensures dependable cooling performance without the need for ducting, external refrigeration equipment, or complex installation procedures.
Quiet Operation with Vibration Dampening
Quiet, subtle operation is a defining characteristic of Breezaire cooling systems. The WKL 3000 incorporates vibration-dampening mounts to reduce mechanical movement and help protect your wine from disturbance. With an estimated operating noise level of 60 dBA, the unit remains suitable for many residential settings while delivering the enhanced cooling output required for larger wine enclosures.
Self-Contained System for Simplified Installation
This fully self-contained system arrives pre-charged and ready for installation. No external copper lines or field refrigeration work are required. Once mounted through the wall and connected to a dedicated 115 volt power circuit, the WKL 3000 begins operation automatically after a brief internal delay. This practical, efficient installation process makes it a strong option for homeowners, contractors, and cellar builders seeking professional-grade cooling without complex setup requirements.
Optional Factory Modifications for Custom Cellar Designs
Breezaire offers a variety of optional factory modifications to suit specialized installations. Warm-air exhaust can be configured to route through the rear or top of the unit. Power cords may be ordered from the front or rear. Additional options include routing cold air from the top (CAT) and installing a rear drain fitting for condensate management. These custom-order modifications help the WKL 3000 integrate seamlessly into diverse wine room layouts.
Breezaire Craftsmanship and Long-Term Reliability
Every Breezaire cooling unit is hand assembled in the United States and thoroughly tested for quality and durability. The WKL 3000 features a strong metal cabinet, premium components, and carefully engineered airflow pathways designed to deliver years of consistent performance. Its dependable operation, quiet functionality, and precision control systems work together to safeguard the long-term aging conditions your wine deserves.
A dependable solution for wine rooms up to 650 cubic feet
The WKL 3000 is well suited for dedicated collectors building mid-size residential wine rooms. With its self-contained construction, advanced Sentry III Plus controls, humidity support, optional custom modifications, and powerful cooling output, it provides the stable conditions needed for proper wine maturation. This unit delivers professional-grade environmental control for enthusiasts seeking long-term preservation of growing collections.
About Breezaire
Breezaire is known for practical, well-engineered cooling systems built to keep wine rooms and other sensitive storage spaces stable. Since 1985, the brand has focused on steady temperature and humidity control rather than the fast drying effect of standard refrigeration. Many restaurants, clubs, and collectors rely on Breezaire because the units protect cork integrity and maintain consistent conditions over long periods. The company also supports every system it has produced, and current models match earlier footprints for straightforward replacement. This steady approach to design and service has made Breezaire a dependable choice for facilities that need predictable, low-impact climate control.
