Product Overview
Product Summary
The WhisperKOOL 03-HYBRID-KIT-MIN combines one Mini duct plenum with one Mini airflow deflector. It is intended for compatible installations requiring one ducted airflow connection and one direct airflow connection.
The duct plenum connects one side of the Mini Blow-Through evaporator to insulated field-installed ductwork. The airflow deflector attaches to the opposite side and directs air through a nearby wine cellar opening.

Accessory Overview
What Is the Mini Hybrid Airflow Kit?
The 03-HYBRID-KIT-MIN provides two different airflow connection components for a compatible WhisperKOOL Mini Blow-Through evaporator.
The included duct plenum creates a connection point for insulated field-installed ductwork. This allows one airflow path to terminate at a register or grille positioned away from the evaporator.
The included airflow deflector directs air through an opening located immediately beside the evaporator. This side does not require an extended duct run.
The hybrid configuration is intended for projects where one airflow side must be remotely ducted while the opposite side can communicate directly with the wine cellar.
Key Features
Mini Hybrid Airflow Kit Features
One Ducted Airflow Connection
The included Mini duct plenum connects one side of the compatible evaporator to insulated field-installed ductwork.
One Direct Airflow Connection
The included airflow deflector directs air through an opening located immediately beside the evaporator without requiring an extended duct run on that side.
Flexible Hybrid Configuration
The kit provides an alternative to fully ducted and fully ductless configurations when only one airflow path must be routed to a remote location.
Designed for the Mini Blow-Through
The components are intended for compatible WhisperKOOL Mini Blow-Through evaporator applications and should not be assumed to fit larger Blow-Through models.
Configuration
How the Hybrid Airflow Kit Works
| Included Component |
Purpose |
| Duct Plenum |
Connects one side of the Mini evaporator to insulated field-installed ductwork. |
| Airflow Deflector |
Directs air through an opening located immediately beside the Mini evaporator. |
Depending on the approved Mini Blow-Through configuration, the duct plenum may be installed on the return-air side or the conditioned-air side. The airflow deflector is installed on the opposite side.
The selected arrangement must match the official WhisperKOOL configuration documentation and the planned location of the ducted register and direct cellar opening.
Typical Uses
Recommended Applications
The Mini Hybrid Airflow Kit is appropriate when a compatible Mini Blow-Through installation requires only one extended duct connection.
- One airflow opening must be positioned away from the evaporator.
- The opposite airflow opening can be located beside the evaporator.
- A soffit or cabinet layout limits where one grille can be installed.
- One airflow path must be routed around framing or finished millwork.
- A fully ducted arrangement would add unnecessary ductwork.
- A fully ductless arrangement cannot accommodate both airflow openings.
Compatibility
Product Compatibility
The 03-HYBRID-KIT-MIN is designed for a compatible WhisperKOOL Mini Blow-Through evaporator.
It should not be assumed to fit larger Blow-Through evaporator models or unrelated WhisperKOOL cooling systems. Confirm the evaporator model and required airflow configuration before ordering.
Before ordering: Verify that the project requires exactly one Mini duct plenum and one Mini airflow deflector.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included with the WhisperKOOL 03-HYBRID-KIT-MIN?
The kit includes one Mini duct plenum and one Mini airflow deflector for a compatible Mini Blow-Through evaporator.
Is this a complete cooling system?
No. It is an airflow accessory kit only. The evaporator, condensing unit, ductwork, registers, refrigeration components, and installation are sold or provided separately.
What does hybrid airflow mean?
Hybrid airflow means one side of the Mini evaporator connects to ductwork while the opposite side uses an airflow deflector and an adjacent cellar opening.
Does the Mini Hybrid Airflow Kit require ductwork?
Yes. One included duct plenum must connect to field-installed ductwork.
Does the airflow deflector require ductwork?
No. The deflector directs air through an opening located immediately beside the evaporator.
Can the duct plenum be used for return or supply air?
It may be used on either side when the selected arrangement is supported by the official WhisperKOOL Mini configuration documentation.
Is this kit compatible with larger Blow-Through models?
No. The 03-HYBRID-KIT-MIN is intended for a compatible Mini Blow-Through evaporator.
Are registers or grilles included?
No. Registers, grilles, louvers, and field-installed ductwork are not included.
When should I choose the Mini Ducted Airflow Kit instead?
Choose the Mini Ducted Airflow Kit when both sides of the evaporator must connect to ductwork.
When should I choose the Mini Ductless Airflow Kit instead?
Choose the Mini Ductless Airflow Kit when both airflow sides can connect directly through adjacent cellar openings.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm that the evaporator is a compatible Mini Blow-Through model and that the project requires one duct plenum and one airflow deflector.
Ordering Guidance
Confirm the Airflow Configuration Before Ordering
Before ordering the WhisperKOOL Mini Hybrid Airflow Kit, confirm that the installation requires one ducted airflow path and one direct airflow path.
Verify Mini Blow-Through compatibility, duct routing, cellar opening placement, component orientation, and installation requirements using the official WhisperKOOL documentation.
