USING THE WHISPERKOOL SYSTEM

Drain Line
All units come with a drain line for
additional removal of excessive
condensate. This is a back up system to
the Condensate Evaporator. If the unit is
installed in a high humidity area of the
country, it is mandatory to install the
drain line attachment. In high humidity,
the cooling unit will strip excess water
from the air in order to maintain the
proper level of humidity within the cellar.
The Condensate Evaporator will heat and
dissipate the excess moisture through the
rear of the unit. However in extreme
humidity, additional condensate will be
created. Conversely the high humidity air
has less capacity to absorb additional
moisture through the exhaust of the unit.
Thus the drain line will prevent overflow
and leaking by allowing for discharge of
the additional condensate.
Failure to
install the drain line voids warranty.
Power Switch
The new series WhisperKOOL units come
equipped with an On/Off switch. The
On/Off switch is simply used when the
owner does not need to utilize the
equipment. Placing the power switch to
the front position allows power to flow to
the side outlet. Placing the switch in the
rear position allows power to flow to the
rear outlet.
NOTE; (It will take five minutes before
the unit begins to operate once the
switch is placed in the “On” position. This
is due to the designed safety delay in the
PDT thermostat.)
Condensate Evaporator Switch
The Condensate Evaporator is a heating
element that automatically evaporates
excess condensate that accumulates in the
cooling system as a by-product of
refrigeration. Like most cooling systems,
WhisperKOOL uses heat from the
compressor to evaporate and eliminate the
majority of the water that accumulates
during normal use. However, during
certain weather conditions or in humid
areas (above 80%), more condensate will
accumulate than the cooling system can
evaporate with heat from the compressor
alone. Only the WhisperKOOL units are
equipped with sophisticated heating
elements that automatically sense the
presence of water and work continually
until the water is gone
Setting the Condensate Evaporator to the
“On” setting causes the heating element
and the right exhaust fan to stay on
continuously to prevent excess
condensation from building up in the unit.
