cellar cooler recommendation sought

We have built an insulated, enclosed cellar in our basement cooled by a Fondis C18 winemaster cooling unit in the wall of the cellar. In winter it's fine but unfortunately in hot weather the unit is inadequate to keep the temperature constant at 15C. A more powerful unit is not an option because of noise so I am looking at a split system with the compressor away from the cellar with the cool air ducted in . . I am wondering if anyone can help with a specific recommendation for a cellar cooler of this type.

Sorry, no real knowledge of these systems. But out of curiosity, are you sure you haveexhausted insulation options? Not knowing your situation, I'd be sure that I:

1) Had an insulated door, with good weatherstripping 2) Caulked all seams and joints where air might get in, or used foam in a can. 3) Considered adding to insulation (depending on visuals and access, maybe rigid foam board- I think 1.5" pinkboard adds about R-8).

Just a thought
