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 Whis- perKOOL high in the room will create a consis- tently 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.

Unobstructed Airflow

Unobstructed airflow to and from the unit is a critical factor in the unit’s overall performance. Make sure there is a three-foot clearance in the front of the unit, as fans blow down at an angle and should not be obstructed by racking. Make sure there is a minimum three-foot horizontal clearance from the rear of the unit as well. This will assure that the unit can move the air around in an efficient manner. Avoid the attempt to camouflage the unit by installing racking in front of the unit. This will restrict airflow and thus the unit’s ability to work efficiently.

Wine Cellar

Door and Door Seal

An exterior grade (1 3/4”) door must be installed as a cellar door. It is very important that weather stripping is attached to all 4 sides of the doorjam. A bottom “sweep” or threshold is also required.

The door must have a very good seal to keep the cool cellar air from escaping out of the cellar. One of the most common problems with cooling units running continually is due to the door not sealing properly. In cases where glass doors are used and the room size is close to the recommended unit size, the next larger size WhisperKOOL should be used. This will compensate for the insulation loss due to the lower insulating rating of glass.
