Breezaire WKSL Series 265 cu. ft. Cooling Unit – WKSL 2200 Overview

WKSL 2200 is the direct replacement for the WKS 2200.

The Breezaire WKSL Series is a split-system cooling solution that installs the evaporator inside your wine enclosure while placing the condenser up to 50 feet away. When used in a properly built enclosure, it maintains a stable temperature range of 48°F–63°F and relative humidity between 50%–75%.

*Professional installation required.

The WKSL 2200 is designed for installation by a qualified HVAC or refrigeration technician experienced with compressor-based systems. The evaporator and condenser are connected with copper tubing, and the unit must be charged with refrigerant during installation. Power is hard-wired to a properly sized 110V AC electrical source. The WKSL Series uses Breezaire’s durable adjustable mechanical thermostat.

Humidity & Installation

Breezaire units naturally maintain a stable humidity level that will be lower than the surrounding ambient humidity.

• High ambient humidity → the unit reduces humidity to proper storage levels.
• Very low ambient humidity → additional moisture may be needed.

If adding moisture, only use natural evaporation from a small porous water container. Do not use a humidifier.

Temperature & Installation

These systems are designed to cool up to 25°F below the ambient temperature on the condenser side. Improper placement can affect performance.

• The condensing unit must have fresh air below 85°F.
• Poor ventilation or confined spaces will prevent proper heat rejection.
• This may appear as a malfunction even when the unit is functioning correctly.

 

Available in two models: the WKSL 2200 for wine cellars up to 265 cu. ft. and the WKSL 4000 for spaces up to 1,000 cu. ft.

Note: The WKSL Series is designed for installation by a qualified HVAC or refrigeration technician. Setup includes connecting the evaporator and condenser modules using copper tubing and low-voltage wiring, with power supplied from a properly sized 110V AC source. These systems must be charged with refrigerant during installation. Each unit features the Sentry III+ digital control system for accurate temperature and humidity management.

Breezaire Bottle Probe for Wine Cooling Units (Add-On)

The Breezaire Bottle Probe is a must-have accessory for anyone serious about wine preservation. Designed to measure the temperature directly inside your wine bottles, it ensures your collection is stored under optimal conditions.

Compatible with a range of Breezaire cooling systems, the probe provides real-time temperature feedback, allowing you to make precise adjustments and maintain ideal aging conditions. By monitoring the wine at the bottle level, it helps prevent harmful temperature fluctuations that can affect flavor and quality.

Built from durable, high-quality materials, the Breezaire Bottle Probe is easy to install and simple to use, making it an essential tool for both home and commercial wine cellars.

Breezaire Modifications

List of modifications

BLACK Series Cooling Units

BLACK Series units are special order and require 2–4 weeks for production. Once manufacturing has begun, returns or cancellations cannot be accepted.

This is a special-order modification and makes the unit non-returnable.

Upgrade: Cord Out the Back of the Unit

The standard Breezaire configuration places the power cord on the wine cellar side. If your installation requires the cord to exit into an adjacent space, you may upgrade to have the cord come out the back.

This modification is a special-order request and makes the unit non-returnable. A hole must be made in the back grill for cord placement. The cord will be located at the bottom right on the back of the unit.

Please Note: Adding this option may extend production and delivery by 3–4 weeks.

This is a special-order modification and makes the unit non-returnable.

Optional Modification: Power Cord Out the Bottom Rear (WKL Series)

This option relocates the power cord to exit from the bottom rear of the unit. This is a special-order modification.

This is a special-order modification and makes the unit non-returnable.

Optional Modification: Power Cord Out the Bottom Rear (WKCE 1060 & WKCE 2200)

This option relocates the power cord to the bottom rear of WKCE 1060 and WKCE 2200 units. This is a special-order modification.

This is a special-order modification and makes the unit non-returnable.

Standard - Cord Out The Front

Modified - Cord Out The Bottom

Modified - Cord Out The Exhaust

Optional Modification: Hot Exhaust Air Up (WKCE Models)

If your installation requires top exhaust, you can add this optional modification. This directs hot exhaust air upward instead of out the rear. Adequate space for fresh air intake is still required. For example, wine cabinets must still have space behind them for proper airflow.

Please Note: Adding this option may extend production and delivery by 3–4 weeks.

This is a special-order modification and makes the unit non-returnable.

Standard - Hot Air Out Rear

Special Order - Hot Air Out Top (HAU)

Rear Drain Fitting

An optional rear drain fitting is available for installations requiring additional condensate control.

Optional Bottle Probe

The bottle probe is available for Breezaire WKL, WKE, and WKC Series units. It is highly recommended when the wine cellar is located in a warm area, as it allows the unit to regulate temperature based on the liquid temperature inside a bottle rather than the ambient air.
