The VinoViaVai® Cool impresses with its technical innovations: Whether you keep the climate stable with our Smart Active Ventilation via active air circulation or with a new cooling principle that not only cools up to 3 temperature zones gently and stably, but also reacts intelligently to filling and removal.
The supplied cold is regulated in such a way that the wines are gently brought to the target temperature.
We enable gentle temperature control of the air without high temperature differences. The temperature of the air flowing past the wine bottles is recorded level by level.
Even when operating several wine cabinets.

This results in permanent active air mixing. This also prevents the formation of fencing nests.
Increases storage capacity.
The circulating air is optionally routed through activated charcoal filters to eliminate unwanted odors.
A buffer tank with up to 100 l significantly reduces the compressor runtime
Used for hedging
For a direct and on-demand distribution of cold to the stored wine bottles.
The room air is drawn in through the baseboard at the coldest point - the floor. A heat exchanger receives just enough cold energy so that the supply air has then reached the target temperature.
Fans direct the air vertically upwards and over all the bottles. The intensity of the air flow depends on the temperature values measured on the trays.
The cooled air, after passing over the bottles, falls out of the front of the furniture and flows thermodynamically downwards.
In the front plinth panel, the cooled, descended air is drawn back in and passed through the heat exchanger.
The game starts again from the beginning.
In addition to UV light, which should be avoided, air temperature and humidity are the most important parameters for preserving the value of wines in storage and increasing their ageing potential. The VinoViaVai® system therefore optionally monitors these values at as many points as possible.
We monitor the air temperature as standard using tried-and-tested digital temperature sensors that are connected to the system. As a rule, several sensors are placed at the air intake and directly after the heat exchangers in order to obtain as accurate a picture as possible of the temperature conditions in the interior. Incidentally, this enables the system to cope with the failure of a sensor without disrupting operation.
We use our technology not only in our wine refrigerators, but also in doorless units in closed wine storage rooms.
If you are not storing your wine treasures in an underground brick cellar, the vexed question of climate control arises. The number one factor in the storage and ageing of high-quality wines is still the temperature and its stability. Conventional air conditioning systems always cause unwanted fluctuations due to their reactive cooling of the entire room. Storing fine wines exclusively in wine refrigerators is not really an option, especially for larger stocks. It was clear to us that there must be another solution.
Regardless of whether there are people in the room or the door is opened regularly: the air that is directed forwards through each compartment in our wine cabinets acts like a protective air cushion against harmful temperature fluctuations. With SmartActiveVentilation in your VinoViaVai, you get stable climate control where it matters: at the bottle storage location.
Integrated heat exchangers ensure that the air is cooled or heated to the desired temperature level.
Either our own air conditioning units, for which a supply and exhaust air are required, an already existing building air conditioning system or a so-called chiller from any manufacturer provide the cooling source.
Redundant (fail-safe) design of the cooling system is also possible.
Wine cellars with recirculating air cooling already installed also benefit significantly from the use of the SmartActiveVentilation system.
The cold generated by the circulating air cooling first sinks to the floor, where it is sucked in and passed over the wines. This equalizes the sometimes extreme air temperature differences of up to 5°C between floor and ceiling for the wine. If the thermostat of the existing cooling system is brought close to the floor, significant energy savings can also be achieved.
It is also possible to mix both methods.
For example, while the recirculating air cooling ensures the basic temperature stability of the room (e.g. to 20°C), the additional cooling of the system ensures precise cooling of the air to the target temperature.
If you rely solely on the air conditioning in the wine cellar, a complete failure is certainly the worst case scenario. But even everyday activities such as opening the door, people entering the room and bringing heat with them, or even new wine crates moving in, quickly raise the room temperature by a few degrees.
And then there is the technology. Measurements with the Sensorbottle have shown that even special units bring relatively high fluctuations in the temperature produced. Many air conditioners bring the cold air into the room in batches until the target temperature is reached and then pause until the upper temperature limit is reached. This quickly creates fluctuations of 1-2°C. In addition, the temperature of the individual layers of air in the room can vary by up to 2°C. Just think: A wine, for example, which is permanently exposed to fluctuations of 1°C, absorbs 1.3kWh of thermal power within one year at a fluctuation time of 4h. This could be used to boil 10 liters of water.
In the storage room
Storing bottles are directly overflowed with air at target temperature. The forward air acts as a protective air cushion against harmful temperature fluctuations.
The previously cooled air falls towards the floor of the room at the front of the storage system. Here it is drawn in again, brought to the target temperature and sent back into the circuit.
We cool the bottles - not the room. Thus, each zone gets its preferred climate - the wines feel comfortable and your wine tasting will not be a chilly affair.
