WhisperKOOL Quantum Ducted Split Cooling Units

Quantum Series – Our Most Advanced, High-Capacity Cooling Systems

The Quantum Series - WhisperKOOL Wine Cooling Units are the most advanced and highest-capacity systems from WhisperKOOL, available in two powerful sizes: 9000 BTUs and 12000 BTUs. Utilizing R-404a refrigerant, these units are engineered for reliable operation even in cold climates, withstanding outdoor temperatures as low as -15°F.

Designed for larger and more challenging wine cellars, the Quantum Series offers multiple ducting options for flexible installation and accessibility. The condenser can be ducted up to 25 feet, creating a virtually silent cellar environment. The evaporator coil is protected with an electro-fin coating to minimize corrosion and extend system life.

Installation is straightforward for certified technicians, thanks to pump-down technology that eliminates the need for wiring between the condenser and evaporator units.

Installation Requirements & Site Preparation

Before installing your Quantum Series system, ensure the following:

• Dedicated Electrical Circuits:
  • Evaporator: 115V (15-amp)
  • Condenser: 230V (15-amp)
• Proper Insulation:
  Wine cellar must be fully insulated and sealed to prevent cooling loss.
• Vapor Barrier:
  Install a vapor barrier to block external moisture and maintain stable humidity.
• Drain Line Accommodation:
  Plan for a 3/4” ID CPVC drain line from the evaporator.
• Adequate Space & Access:
  Ensure sufficient clearance for ducting, maintenance, and airflow.
• Cellar Suitability:
  For cellars with windows or cement walls (not recommended), consult a professional for possible adjustments or upsizing.

Consulting a wine cellar expert is strongly recommended to verify that your space meets all requirements.

User Responsibilities:

As the owner, you are responsible for:

• Ensuring all installation requirements are met before setup.
• Hiring a certified technician for installation and any future servicing.
• Following all manufacturer guidelines and recommendations.
• Registering your product within 30 days of installation to activate warranty coverage.

Failure to comply with these responsibilities may impact system performance and warranty eligibility.

Accessories & Add-ons for the WhisperKOOL Quantum Series

Enhance and customize your Quantum Series system with a range of optional accessories and add-ons designed to improve performance, efficiency, and protection. Popular options include:

• UV-C Lighting System (Add-on):
  Protects your cooling unit from mold and bacterial growth by sterilizing the air handler, helping to maintain a clean and healthy environment for your wine.
• External Insulation Blanket:
  Improves overall thermal efficiency by reducing heat loss from the evaporator, supporting consistent cellar temperatures and reducing energy consumption.
• Stainless Steel Drip Tray:
  Offers enhanced durability and easy maintenance, ensuring any condensation is managed effectively and prolonging the life of your system.
• 3-Speed Fan Switch:
  Allows you to adjust fan speed based on your cellar’s cooling demands, giving you more control over airflow, noise levels, and energy use.
• Bottle Probe:
  Measures the actual temperature of your wine bottles (rather than just the air), providing highly accurate monitoring and peace of mind for your collection.
• Thermostat Conversion Kits:
  Optional kits that allow integration with a variety of thermostat types for greater flexibility in system control.
• Condenser Coil Coating:
  An optional protective coating for the condenser coils, helping to guard against corrosion and extend the lifespan of your system.
• Outdoor Condenser Housing:
  Durable metal housing that protects the condenser from rain, heat, and other outdoor elements, ensuring reliable operation in any environment.

These accessories can be selected at the time of purchase or added later to further tailor your Quantum Series system to your specific cellar needs. For personalized recommendations on which add-ons are most suitable for your installation, consult with a wine cellar professional or reach out to our support team.

What are Ducted Split Wine Cellar Cooling Units?

In a Ducted Split system, the evaporator and condensing units are separated. The evaporator sits in or near your wine cellar, while the condenser can be installed outside, in an attic, or in a utility room. This design offers:

• Flexible installation for challenging spaces
• Reduced noise within the cellar
• Improved temperature and humidity control

The split system design separates the evaporator (inside or near the cellar) from the condenser (which can be placed outdoors, in an attic, or utility room). Ducting allows for flexible placement—up to 25 feet for the evaporator and up to 100 feet of line set for the condenser.

For outdoor condenser installations, optional weatherproof housing is available. Proper airflow and ventilation must be maintained for both units to ensure efficient operation and minimize noise.

Maintenance & Longevity

To ensure optimal performance and extend the life of your Quantum Series unit:

• Regularly clean intake and exhaust grills to maintain airflow.
• Periodically check and clear the drain line to prevent blockages and mold growth.
• The electro-fin coated coils and optional UV-C lighting system (available as an add-on) further protect against corrosion and microorganism buildup.

These simple steps, combined with the Quantum Series’ high-quality construction, help guarantee years of reliable operation.

Sizing Guidance & Professional Consultation

Selecting the right cooling unit is critical for protecting your wine collection. Every cellar is unique, with specific cooling requirements based on insulation, door seals, size, and usage. We recommend:

• Consulting a wine cellar professional to perform a heat load calculation before selecting a unit.
• Using our cooling consultation service for personalized recommendations.

Why Insulation and Vapor Barriers Matter:

Adequate insulation and a properly installed vapor barrier are critical to prevent temperature fluctuations and moisture intrusion. These measures protect your wine and ensure your cooling system operates efficiently—saving energy and extending equipment life.
