By Jim Hopper, Wine Cooling Expert

When it comes to serious wine collecting, climate control isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. That’s why WhisperKOOL created the Quantum Series: a commercial-grade, ducted split cooling system designed to handle large volumes, long duct runs, and high-end installations.

In this expert review, we’ll explore what makes the WhisperKOOL Quantum Series stand out, which models to consider, and how it stacks up against other top-tier systems. Whether you're designing a showcase cellar or upgrading your current setup, this guide will help you decide if Quantum is the right solution.

If you're still exploring different cooling technologies and how they compare, be sure to check out our Ultimate Guide to Wine Cellar Cooling Systems. It breaks down self-contained, ducted, split, and hybrid options — helping you choose the right setup based on your cellar size, layout, and design priorities.


🔧 What is the WhisperKOOL Quantum Series?

WhisperKOOL ducted split evaporator installed in a luxury wine cellar mechanical nook with temperature probe and ambient lighting.

The Quantum Series is WhisperKOOL’s most powerful ducted split system, specifically engineered for wine cellars up to 10,000 cubic feet. It’s built for performance, silence, and installation flexibility — all while keeping wine aging conditions tightly controlled.

Unlike self-contained units or wall-mounted systems, the Quantum uses remote ducting and separates the evaporator and condenser units via refrigerant lines. This results in ultra-quiet operation inside the cellar, with the heavy lifting happening far away from your prized bottles.

Some standout innovations include:

  • Liquid bottle temperature probe for real wine temperature control
  • High static fans for long duct runs
  • Indoor/outdoor condenser options
  • Heavy-duty steel housing and commercial-grade parts

📚 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I install the Quantum Series myself?

No. It requires a licensed HVAC technician and a 230V power source.

Can I place the condenser outdoors?

Yes, most Quantum models support outdoor installation (SS24000 is outdoor-only).

How far can I duct the evaporator?

Up to 25 feet with high static fans — check your model’s spec sheet for limits.

Does it control humidity too?

Not directly. It maintains RH to a degree, but you may want to pair it with a separate humidifier for precision.
