WhisperKOOL - Wine Storage Refrigerators.

Models | XLT Series | Extreme Series | Split System |

Whisperkool Split System wine storage refrigerators


To age optimally, wine requires a balance of temperature and humidity. The temperature affects the rate of maturation while the right humidity keeps corks in good shape during the aging process. Dry corks crack and allow wine to oxidize. Excessively wet corks rot, causing the wine to become "corked".

Wine collectors agree that the ideal temperature for maturing fine wines is 55F-57F and that the humidity should be carefully balanced between 50%-70%.

WhisperKOOL achieves these optimum conditions by cooling the cellar slowly. As the temperature in the cellar begins to drop, the relative humidity will rise, creating the ideal environment for aging wine. WhisperKOOL incorporates an efficient environmental stabilization system in a compact, easy-to-install, self-contained unit. It is built in a variety of sizes for wine cellars, ranging from 300 to 2,000 cubic feet.

The unique difference between the WhisperKOOL system and traditional air-conditioning units is the maintenance of well-conditioned humidity. Traditional air-conditioning units are designed to cool air quickly; as a result, humidity is removed, leaving air dehydrated.

 

WhisperKOOL XLT Series

whisperkool xlt series wine storage refrigerators

The WhisperKOOL XLT Series cooling units are specifically designed to maintain temperature and humidity within a properly designed wine cellar. The series consists of five dedicated cooling units for wine cellars ranging from 300 to 2,000 cubic feet.

These cooling units have been designed to fit between standard wall studs and are equipped with a rear flange which allows the units to be mounted through a wall without requiring a support shelf.

WhisperKOOL XLT Series
Our new generation cooling units... Engineered for superior performance, utilizing:

  • NEW! State-of-the-art compressors
  • Re-designed high-efficiency tubing
  • Superior condensate evaporator system
  • New optional PDT (Precision Digital Technology) Thermostat.
WhisperKool is a cooling unit designed specifically to maintain temperature and humidity within a properly designed wine cellar.

Ease of Installation
WhisperKOOL has been specifically designed to fit between standard wall studs. This requires a minimum of modification to existing wall structures.

The unit is equipped with a rear flange for mounting through a wall. The flange allows the unit to be mounted directly to the wall and eliminates the need to build a support shelf.

Condensate Evaporator System
The unit is designed to collect and dissipate excessive moisture, which accumulates during normal operations. A sophisticated heating element dissipates the collected moisture and evaporates it through the exhaust port located on the rear of the unit.

Vibration Free Operations
Vibration can disturb the natural aging process of wine and compromise its quality. WhisperKOOL is designed with state-of-the-art compressors and components. This combination is engineered to provide vibration free operation.

Solid and Durable Housing Design
The polymer coating on the galvanized steel housing gives the WhisperKOOL systems a beautiful, textured finish which resists fingerprints, rust, nicks and scratches.

Liquid-Measuring Thermostat

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:
  • 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.
Optional PDT Series Thermostat
With microprocessor controlled digital technology and pinpoint accuracy, this unit offers some distinct features and benefits:
  • Self-calibrating probe - contains a microchip, which communicates back and forth to the thermostat, resulting in accuracy.
  • Built-in defrost cycle - designed to shut off for five minutes every fifty minutes in order to prevent frost buildup.
  • 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.

WhisperKOOL Extreme Series

Whisperkool extreme wine storage refrigerators

The WhisperKOOL Extreme Series is WhisperKOOL's highest end, professional series of self-contained wine storage refrigerators. Designed and engineered utilizing state-of-the-art, high quality components, the Extreme Series is made for longevity, high reliability and excellent performance in a wide range of working conditions.

The Extreme Series' ventilation system includes a quiet, professional grade, high performance fan system that optimizes airflow throughout the cellar. The powerful fan system ensures consistent wine cellar temperatures with minimal noise generation.

Engineered with oversized condenser and evaporator coils, a powerful ventilation system and a protective exterior housing, the Extreme Series is designed to vent to the outside in hot and freezing climates. The unit is designed to vent to the outside in climates where temperatures reach over 100 degrees. These units can also readily be vented into an adjacent indoor room when applicable.

The WhisperKOOL®Extreme Cooling System requires professional installation by a licensed refrigeration technician.

Liquid Measuring Probe
The unit accurately measures the temperature of wine in the cellar using a liquid temperature measuring probe. Measuring the temperature of a liquid is a more direct and accurate reflection of the temperature of the wines stored in the cellar than measuring the ambient cellar air.

Filter Change Lights for both Evaporator and Condenser
There are filters for both the evaporator and condenser. Individual indicator lights representing each filter will glow yellow when it is time to replace either one of them. The filters keep dirt particles from entering the units and accumulating on the evaporator and condenser coils.

High Heat Alarm
If the temperature on the back of the unit reaches 130°F, a red indicator light will turn on. The light shuts off once the temperature lowers to 100°F.

Temperature Control
This control enables the target wine temperature in the wine cellar to be set via the temperature of the liquid measured by the Liquid Measuring Probe. It is preset from the factory to 55°F, but can be adjusted to any temperature between 50°F and 76°F. A digital read-out displays the temperature in either Celsius or Fahrenheit.

Frost Prevention Setting to Prevent Coil Freezing
The unit contains a preset, automatic defrost feature that prevents any ice from building up on the coils. This allows the WhisperKool Extreme to operate effectively in demanding environments.

Refrigerant High Pressure Shut-Off
Automatic high pressure shut-off feature designed to protect the compressor from excessive head pressures. This protects the system in case there are any obstructions restricting air flow through the filters, duct or grille.

Low Ambient Control System
The system allows the condenser section (back of the unit) to be exposed to air temperatures as low as 0°F. It enables operation of the compressor and refrigerant systems when exposed to cold temperatures.

Remote Control Panel (optional)
The system's control panel can be mounted remotely; i.e. the control panel can be located separately from the cooling unit itself. This option provides unique flexibility for installing the Extreme Series cooling unit in your wine cellar.

Ducting and Ventilation Options
The ventilation system is ideal for ducting. The optional collars fit standard ventilation ducting allowing the installer to vent air to and from the unit for optimum performance (please see specifications for details).

Superior Operating Flexibility
The Extreme Series wine cellar cooling units are designed to work in conditions that cause traditional cooling units to fail. Engineered to solve the most difficult installation dilemmas, the Extreme Series has the performance capability to provide superior wine cellar temperature control:

  • In hotter environments where cooling is difficult, up to 120°F;
  • In cold areas where many units fail to operate
