FEATURES & BENEFITS 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 add humidity in the wine cella

WINE CELLAR / SPACE PREPARATION Preparing the Wine Cellar 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 the cellar not maintaining proper temperature and humidity. Technical Specifications Sizing Guide & Speci

Head Pressure Control, Low Ambient Control Switch: The switch is used to cycle the condenser fan at low ambient temperature condition. Set the switch to 170 psig for cut-in and 70 psig for the differential. Further adjustment may be needed. Verify the settings via refrigeration manifold gauge and perform the final adjustments to the readings on the gauge manifold.

MOUNTING THE EVAPORATOR UNIT 1. Disassemble evaporator unit. In order to mount the housing to the wall, the internal components will need to be removed and reinstalled after mounting the housing. Remove front cover and thermostat by unscrewing four captive screws located on each corner of the cover and five at bottom of front cover. Note: Thermostat is not plugged into electrical line. 2. Remove interior assembly. The interior assembly is one piece. The assembly should slide out on mount

3. Identify and remove appropriate knockouts. There are knockouts located on the rear panel, right side panel and on top. Remove knockouts for the two refrigeration lines and install the two grommets supplied. Remove knockout for electrical line. Keep the refrigerant pipes capped to prevent any foreign material from entering, until ready to braze. 4. Mounting housing to wall. The unit has six mounting holes on 16 inch wide centers. Utilize all mounting screws to secure the housing to the

5. Installing refrigeration lines into evaporator housing. With knockouts removed, install grommets supplied. Install housing, mark location and center line of holes to be drilled in wall. Slide interior into place, measure the distance from the suction and liquid line connection locations to the housing knockout opening. Add that dimension to the length of pipe necessary to penetrate the wall for a rear entry plus enough for an elbow connection if the pipe is to run up or down the

6. Run the electrical line into evaporator on bottom of left side over insulation. Wires should be at least 36” long going into the cabinet. 7. Re-install interior assembly. Slide interior assembly back into housing gently. Re-attach using the two screws. Flow a small amount of dry nitrogen through the tubing during brazing. This is to displace oxygen and prevent the formation of copper oxide. The solenoid should be energized for a free flow without building up pressure in the tubing. -

8. Attaching refrigeration lines. Line up the piping connections. Energize the liquid line solenoid valve, connect Dry Nitrogen, and adjust to a slight flow through the tubing, being sure no pressure develops in the piping. Connect flare fittings if a flare fitting model, tighten securely, braze other fittings, leak check, evacuate to 200 microns, charge with R-134 refrigerant, start and check out. Using wire ties, secure tubing as low as possible in the evaporator so tubing is not visible
