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.
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 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.
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.

WhisperKool is a cooling
unit designed specifically to maintain temperature and humidity
within a properly designed wine cellar.
Designed
to be used to protect the exterior of the whisperKOOL unit when
it is mounted on an exterior wall. This housing allows for proper
airflow while at the same time protecting the fan and components
from rain and summer heat. Simple installation using the same
mounting screws for the whisperKOOL installation. The unit is
primer grey and ready for painting. Follow the recommendations
for use located in the “How to build a wine cellar” under the
ventilation section to assure years of trouble free operation.
