-Introduction
Congratulations and thank -you for purchasing a WhisperKOOL Extreme cooling unit.
We believe it to be the best wine cellar cooling unit on the market.
This User’s Manual is intended to assist in proper installation and maintenance of the
WhisperKOOL Extreme cooling system. In order to ensure the longevity of your cooling
unit, the equipment should be installed properly and have a proper care and maintenance
schedule. Please read and review this manual carefully and keep for future reference.
What Is the WhisperKOOL Extreme Cooling System?
The WhisperKOOL Extreme Series system is a specialized refrigeration unit designed for
one purpose only: to maintain the optimal temperature and humidity levels conducive to
the proper aging of fine wines. It is a self-contained cooling unit designed to be used as a
free-blowing, through-the-wall unit or as a remote mount unit with external ductwork
connections.
How Does the WhisperKOOL Extreme System Work?
The WhisperKOOL Extreme System is divided into two sections: the evaporator or
cooling section and the condenser or heat rejection section. Each section contains a coil
to add or remove heat and a fan to move the air through the coil and into or out of the
cellar or adjacent space. Air passes through the cooling coil and is cooled by the
refrigerant inside the coil. This causes any excess humidity in the air to condense and be
collected in the drain pan. Air then enters the fan where it is pressurized and discharged
out of the unit. The thermostat, located on the unit inside the cellar, turns on the cooling
unit as needed to maintain its set point (see thermostat instructions on page 28).
The compressor and condenser sections are activated whenever the unit is cooling. The
condenser fan draws air from the surrounding or ambient space either directly or through
a duct. The air is first drawn through a filter to remove any airborne dust particles to keep
the coil clean. Then the air flows through the condenser coil where it absorbs heat from
the refrigerant in the coil. The air is finally discharged out of the unit by the condenser
fan.
Temperature Setting
The WhisperKOOL Extreme unit can be set at any temperature within the
acceptable wine-aging range of 50°F to 70°F. It is designed to cool 55°F
cooler than the ambient temperature of the space to which it is exhausting.
