Ventilation
The necessity of dissipating heat away from the unit is critical to the unit’s performance and cannot be overstated. As the unit operates and cools, a greater amount of heat is generated on the exhaust side of the unit. Adequate ventila- tion is required in order to dissipate heat away from the unit. If ventilation is inadequate, the exhaust will heat up the area or room 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 to obtain a specially designed ducting plenums for the unit.
Using any other ducting system will void the warranty.
Note: If you are unsure about having adequate ventilation in your install location, please contact us to assess your specific installation at support@whisperkool.com or 1.800.343.9463.

Ambient Temperature Factor
The cooling system has the ability to cool a wine cellar efficiently to 55°F as long as the ambient temperature of the area that it is exhausting to does not exceed 110°F. Therefore, you want to exhaust the unit in a room which will not exceed 110°F. Otherwise the unit will not have the capacity to keep the wine at a desirable 55°F.
Warning, allowing your system to operate in high ambient temperatures for extended periods of time will greatly decrease the life of your system and void your warranty.
