3.Temperature | a. | Air sensor |
| a. When using an air sensor, the wine | ||||
fluctuating |
|
|
|
| bottle | temperature | is | mainly |
|
|
|
|
| controlled by the average air | |||
|
|
|
|
| temperature. If the | |||
|
|
|
|
| with the differential 4F, the cooling | |||
|
|
|
|
| unit turns on at 59°F of air | |||
|
|
|
|
| temperature and turns off at 55°F of | |||
|
|
|
|
| air temperature. The average air | |||
|
|
|
|
| temperature is 57°F, and then the | |||
|
|
|
|
| wine temperature is around 57+/- | |||
|
|
|
|
| 0.5°F. The air is light enough to | |||
|
|
|
|
| change so quickly that it maintains | |||
|
|
|
|
| relatively | constant | average | |
|
|
|
|
| temperature that would prevent wine | |||
|
|
|
|
| bottle temperature from varying. | |||
