WhisperKOOL
XL Series Custom Wine Cellar Cooling Units |
|
|
WhisperKool is a cooling unit designed
specifically to maintain temperature and humidity within
a properly designed wine cellar. |
| To
age optimally, wine requires a balance of temperature
and humidity. The temperature affects the rate of maturation
while the right humidity keeps corks in good shape during
the aging process. Dry corks crack and allow wine to
oxidize. Excessively wet corks rot, causing the wine
to become "corked". |
| Wine collectors agree that the ideal
temperature for maturing fine wines is 55F-57F and that
the humidity should be carefully balanced between 50%-70%. |
| WhisperKOOL achieves these optimum
conditions by cooling the cellar slowly. As the temperature
in the cellar begins to drop, the relative humidity will
rise, creating the ideal environment for aging wine. |
| WhisperKOOL incorporates
an efficient environmental stabilization system in a compact,
easy-to-install, self-contained unit. It is built in a
variety of sizes for wine cellars, ranging from 300-to-2,000
cubic feet. |
| The unique difference
between the WhisperKOOL system and traditional air-conditioning
units is the maintenance of well-conditioned humidity.
Traditional air-conditioning units are designed to cool
air quickly; as a result, humidity is removed, leaving
air dehydrated. |

| WhisperKOOL XL Series:
Our new generation cooling units... Engineered for superior
performance, utilizing NEW! State-of-the-art compressors,
Re-designed high-efficiency tubing, superior condensate
evaporator system and New optional PDT (Precision Digital
Technology) Thermostat. |
| Ease of Installation:
WhisperKOOL has been specifically designed to fit between
standard wall studs. This requires a minimum of modification
to existing wall structures. The unit is equipped with
a rear flange for mounting through a wall. The flange
allows the unit to be mounted directly to the wall and
eliminates the need to build a support shelf. |
| Condensate Evaporator
System: The unit is designed to collect and dissipate
excessive moisture, which accumulates during normal operations.
A sophisticated heating element dissipates the collected
moisture and evaporates it through the exhaust port located
on the rear of the unit. |
| Vibration Free Operations:
Vibration can disturb the natural aging process of wine
and compromise its quality. WhisperKOOL is designed with
state-of-the-art compressors and components. This combination
is engineered to provide vibration free operation. |
| Solid and Durable
Housing Design: The polymer coating
on the galvanized steel housing gives the WhisperKOOL
systems a beautiful, textured finish which resists fingerprints,
rust, nicks and scratches. |
| Liquid-Measuring
Thermostat: This system incorporates a probe designed
to measure the liquid temperature in a wine bottle rather
than the air temperature of the cellar. This results in
several distinct advantages. Wine is maintained at a precise,
measured temperature. The unit will switch on/off less
often, extending cooling unit life. The unit will run
longer during cycles effectively maintaining humidity. |
| Optional PDT»
Series Thermostat: Years of research
and testing have gone into designing this completely new
technology. Offering microprocessor controlled digital
technology and pinpoint accuracy. This unit offers some
distinct features and benefits. Self-calibrating probe-
contains a microchip, which communicates back and forth
to the thermostat, resulting in accuracy. Built-in defrost
cycle- designed to shut off for five minutes every fifty
minutes in order to prevent frost buildup. Heavy duty
circuitry- designed to resist power surges, which play
havoc on sensitive electrical components. Fahrenheit and
Celsius readout- for use in the United States as well
as around the world. |
| |
Optional Exterior Housing:
Designed to be used to protect the exterior of the WhisperKOOL
unit when it is mounted on an exterior wall. This housing
allows for proper airflow while at the same time protecting
the fan and components from rain and summer heat. Simple
installation using the same mounting screws for the WhisperKOOL
installation. The unit is primer grey and ready for painting.
Follow the recommendations for use located in the “How
to build a wine cellar” under the ventilation section
to assure years of trouble free operation. |

| Performance:
A properly designed wine cellar is critical to the unit's
performance. Proper ventilation on the exhaust side of
the WhisperKOOL system cannot be overstated. As the unit
cools the cellar, an equal or larger amount of heat is
generated on the exhaust side of the unit. This heat will
need to dissipate away from the unit in order for the
unit to operate effectively. The WhisperKOOL system is
designed to cool 30F cooler than the ambient temperature
of the room the unit is exhausting to. If the temperature
rises above 85F then the unit will lose its ability to
cool to 55F in the cellar. Selecting a larger unit to
compensate for a larger temperature variation will be
ineffective. |
| Location: The
WhisperKOOL unit is designed to be mounted high on the
wall (within 18 inches of the ceiling) in the cellar.
This will assure that warmer air, which rises, will
be drawn into the unit, cooling the entire room effectively. |
| Size: Selecting
the proper size WhisperKOOL unit is based on the overall
cubic foot size of the cellar. However, there may be circumstances
in which a cellar design may require a larger unit due
to some design limitations. In such cases WhisperKOOL
recommends purchasing the next size larger unit to compensate
for these limitations. The WhisperKOOL system is designed
to cool cellars to range of 50F to 70F. Upon initial startup,
the unit will run continually for several weeks in order
to bring down the temperature of the bottles in the wine
cellar. The unit will the run only when the thermostat
senses a temperature variation. |
