WhisperKOOL ®
WhisperKool is a cooling unit designed specifically to
maintain temperature and humidity within a properly designed wine
cellar.
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 55°F-57°F
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.
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.
WhisperKOOL ® XL 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.
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
Years of research and testing have gone into designing this completely
new technology. Offering 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.
