Mounting the Unit
The unit should be mounted within 18“ of the top of the room in order to achieve sufficient cooling. As the
room cools down, the warm air will rise to the ceiling. Mounting the WhisperKOOL high in the room will create
a consistently cool environment by capturing the warm air and replacing it with cool air. Mounting the unit
low in the room will result in a temperature variation in the room due to the unit’s inability to draw warm air
from the ceiling of the cellar to the unit itself.
Ventilation
The necessity of dissipating heat away from the unit is critical to the unit’s performance and cannot be over-
stated. As the unit operates and cools, a greater amount of heat is generated on the exhaust side of the unit.
Adequate ventilation is required in order to dissipate heat away from the unit. If ventilation is inadequate, the
exhaust will heat up and adversely affect the unit’s ability to cool.
Unobstructed Airflow
Unobstructed airflow to and from the unit is a critical factor in the unit’s overall performance. Make sure there
is a minimum 3 ft. horizontal clearance from the rear of the unit as well as a minimum 3 ft. clearance in front of
the evaporator fans. This will assure that the unit can move the air around in an efficient manner. Avoid any
attempt to camouflage the unit by installing racking in front of the unit. This will restrict the airflow and lower
the performance of the unit.
Ambient Temperature Factor
The cooling system has the ability to cool a maximum of 30°F below the ambient temperature of the room it is
exhausting to. Therefore, you want to exhaust the unit in a room which will not exceed 85°F and preferably a
consistent 75°F. Otherwise the unit will not have the capacity to keep the wine at a desirable 55°F.
