Designed speciﬁcally for wine storage, the WhisperKOOL 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.

Humidity Control

As the temperature begins to drop within the cellar, the relative humidity will rise. The WhisperKOOL

units do not create humidity. If you live in a dry area of the country, you may need to create

humidity in the wine cellar. This can be done by introducing a non-heat humidiﬁer or installing a

small fountain within the cellar. The unit will remove excess humidity from the air and discharge

it through the drain line hookup on the evaporator unit.

Quiet Operation

Years of experience with our self contained cooling units has resulted in a totally new design which

accounts for a number of environmental conditions which are unique to wine cellars. We have

accounted for these variables and incorporated the use of state of the art components, which offer

quiet and sophisticated operations while keeping the basic concept rather simple.

Indoor and Outdoor Condenser Installations

This system offers the option of installing the condenser unit indoors or outdoors. This will allow

home builders and architects to incorporate this system with the utmost ease with regard to

installation and space requirements. Note: Exterior installations require the condenser

housing. Please specify the need of this requirement at the time of order.

Temperature Differential

The WhisperKOOL split system is designed with a 55 degree temperature differential. This means

the unit can operate correctly even if the ambient temperature outside (or wherever the condenser

unit is mounted) even in 110 degree heat. This is a signiﬁcant improvement over most cooling

units designed for wine storage.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

The system includes both the evaporator and condenser units packaged in two (2) separate

containers. An exterior housing is optional for outdoor installations and will arrive packed

separately.

Evaporator Condensers (Shown With Optional Housing)

• 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.

PDT Thermostat

Digital probe––contains a microchip which communicates

back and forth to the thermostat, resulting in accuracy.

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.

Built In Defrost Cycle––designed to prevent icing on the

evaporator coil.

RECEIVING & UNPACKING

Thermostat

The split system evaporator has been designed to incorporate the Vinothèque PDT ™ series

thermostat.

Years of research and testing have gone into the design of the PDT thermostat- resulting in advanced

microprocessor controlled digital technology and pinpoint accuracy. 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:

Additional Features:

The unit is set at 55°F at the factory. To raise or lower the set temperature, press the set button

while at the same time pressing either the arrow up or arrow down button.

Wine Temperature Indicator: A red LED bar will light up when the thermostat is reading the

liquid temperature in the bottle via the probe. This will remain lit and the temperature you see

displayed is what the probe is reading.

LED Screen: Displays your thermostat readings.

Wine Temperature Reading: The temperature the water bottle is registering to the

thermostat.

Temperature SET Indicator: A red LED bar will light up when you are setting the

temperature.

Unit ON Indicator: A red LED bar will light up every time the unit turns on to run a cooling

cycle.

SET Button: Used to set the temperature you want the unit to maintain.

UP Arrow Button: Used with the SET button to set temperature higher. In addition, by pressing

and holding the button it will allow you to see the 5-minute count down.

DOWN Arrow Button: Used with the SET button to set temperature lower.

*Up and Down Arrow Buttons used simultaneously will change the temperature read

out from Fahrenheit to Celsius*

The proper design and preparation of the wine cellar is essential in order to maintain the ideal

temperature and humidity levels. We have created a typical presentation on “How to Build a

Wine Cellar” which is available for viewing on our web site at www.whisperkool.com. Failure

to prepare the cellar accordingly will result in improper functioning of the cooling unit and is not

covered under warranty.

WINE CELLAR / SPACE PREPARATION

General Installation Guidelines and Instructions

Vinothèque requires that a certiﬁed HVAC technician install the Split System unit modules.

Please take a moment to review State and City building codes to insure the safe and proper

installation of the unit.

Installing Condenser Unit

The condenser unit can be mounted inside a utility area of the home or outside utilizing the optional

outdoor condenser housing. The system will operate on a 55 degree temperature differential. This

means that the unit will have the capacity to produce cool air into the cellar as long as the ambient

temperature does not climb above 110 degrees Fahrenheit. This unit requires a dedicated 20 amp

circuit, non-GFI. Make sure there is a minimum three-foot horizontal clearance in front and rear

of the unit. The unit may either be hard wired or plug-in depending on local electrical codes. The

unit must be installed at an elevation lower than the evaporator unit. If not, a “P Trap”

must be installed.

Internal Condensing Unit Installations. Internal installations require special consideration

by having adequate ventilation to dissipate the heat created during normal operations. An

exhaust port with fan may need to be installed to assure that heat is effectively dissipated

from the utility room. Unobstructed airﬂow to and from the unit is a critical factor in the

unit’s overall performance. Make sure there is a minimum three-foot horizontal clearance in

front and rear of the unit. This will assure that the unit can move the air around the room in

an efﬁcient manner.

External Condensing Unit Installations. You must utilize the optional exterior condenser

housing for outdoor installations. Place the condenser on a solid foundation in a location

with adequate ventilation. There should be three feet for clearance in the front and rear of

the unit and one foot on each side. The unit should be elevated in order to avoid any possible

ﬂooding and should be clear from leaves, dirt, and other debris.

Mounting Evaporator Unit

The evaporator unit should be mounted close to 18 inches or less from the ceiling of the cellar in

order to achieve sufﬁcient cooling. As the room cools down, warm air will rise to the ceiling, which

is then captured into the cooling unit in order to create a consistently cool environment. Mounting

the unit low in the room will result in a temperature variation due to the unit’s inability to draw

warm air down from the ceiling into the unit itself.

Unobstructed Airﬂow

Unobstructed airﬂow to and from the unit is a critical factor in the unit’s overall performance.

Make sure there is horizontal clearance in front of the unit. This will assure that the unit can move

the air around the room in an efﬁcient manner.

SPLIT SYSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

PLEASE NOTE: Minor assembly to compressor solenoid valve is required prior to installation.

The Condenser Skid requires assembly prior to charge/operation. The included solenoid valve

needs to be connected. In Figure A – locate the capped nut. Remove the nut and replace Teﬂon

tape on the threads. Install the Solenoid valve – insuring a leak-tight torque (Figure B). Remove

the protective valve cap to expose the valve stem. Using a wrench, rotate the valve stem counter-

clockwise (Figure C). This will open the compressor system and prepare the unit for charging.

Note: The compressor unit is shipped with a protective foam pad/ block to prevent damaging tubing

against the evaporator coil ﬁns. Please ensure that this pad is removed prior to operation.
