Unobstructed Airflow Unobstructed airflow to and from both the evaporator and condenser is a critical factor in the system’s over- all performance. Make sure there is a 3 ft. horizontal clearance in the front of both units. This will assure that the air can circulate in an efficient manner. Avoid any attempt to camouflage the evaporator by installing racking in front of the unit. This will restrict the airflow and reduce system performance. In-Cellar Mounting If you are mounting your evapor

SPLIT SYSTEM INSTALLATION General Installation Guidelines and Instructions WhisperKOOL requires that a certified HVAC technician install and charge all split systems. Please take a moment to review state and city building codes to ensure the safe and proper installation of the system. Electrical Needs WhisperKOOL split systems requires a dedicated 110-volt 20-amp circuit. The system draws a large amount of amps at initial start up. By designating a dedicated circuit breaker, you will guara

Installing the Condensing Unit The condensing unit can be mounted inside a utility area of the home or outside utilizing the required outdoor condensing unit housing. The condenser 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. Inside Condensing Unit Installations: Inside installations require special consideration,

DUCTED INSTALLATION Ducting the supply and return air to the cellar creates a virtually silent cellar space and also maximizes cellar capacity. It is absolutely crucial to only use insulated duct work as it minimizes cooling loss, prevents sweat- ing, and reduces noise. Failure to use insulated ducting will cause the unit to run excessively and greatly shorten its lifespan. Note: Do not exceed a total of 25 duct feet between the evaporator and cellar vent, this means a total of 50’ combined

LIQUID MEASURING THERMOMETER Most WhisperKOOL systems come equipped with a liquid temperature measuring thermometer probe . This self calibrating probe contains a sensor chip, which actually communicates back and forth to the thermostat. This results in a consistent liquid temperature as air temperature fluctuates Measuring liquid temperature has a couple unique advantages: 1. The temperature of the wine can be more precisely controlled, ensuring a more consistent overall temperature. 2.

If the breaker remains set, check to see if compressor is running and condenser fan turns on. After compressor runs a few minutes, check the refrigerant “sight glass” in the ¼” copper tubing. Look for bubbles. If no bubbles are present and compressor is running, refrigerant system is running OK. If bubbles are present, system is low on refrigerant. A CERTIFIED HVAC service technician will have to locate and repair any refrigerant leaks, then add refrigerant. Condenser fan should come on
