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. In some cases, it may be advisable to install a vent fan to dissipate heat within the exhaust area on the backside of the unit. However, you must have a fresh air inlet as well. If your unit requires ducting, please contact WhisperKOOL Customer Service to obtain a spe- cially designed ducting accessory kit for the unit. Using any other ducting system will void the warranty.

Ambient Temperature Factor

The cooling system has the ability to cool a maximum of 55°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 105°F. Otherwise the unit will not have the capacity to keep the wine at a desirable 55°F.

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.
