INTRODUCTION

Customer Service

Thank you for purchasing a WhisperKOOL cooling system. We strive to provide the highest-quality products and the best

possible customer service. If you have any questions about your system, please call us at 1-800-343-9463 or visit

WhisperKOOL.com.

Using the Manual

This manual is intended to assist in the proper maintenance of the cooling system. In order to ensure the longevity of your

cooling unit, the equipment should be installed as outlined in the technician’s manual. It is also vital to establish a proper care

and maintenance schedule. Please read and review this manual carefully and keep it for future reference.

What is the WhisperKOOL Cooling System?

The WhisperKOOL cooling system is a specialized refrigeration system designed for one purpose only: to maintain the optimal

temperature and humidity levels conducive to the proper storage and aging of ne wines. This system produces minimal in-cellar

noise and has the most lenient exhaust requirements. An exterior housing is required for outdoor condensing unit installations.

How Does the Cooling System Work?

Similar to the air conditioning systems used for homes, the evaporator unit and condensing units are installed in separate

locations and are connected by a refrigerant line set. The evaporator portion is commonly installed in the wine cellar, with the

condensing unit is located either outside or in a remote indoor location that is ventilated. An exterior housing is required for

outdoor condensing unit installations.

Temperature Setting

The system is designed to maintain a cellar temperature of 55°F as long as the ambient temperature does not exceed 110°F.

Platinum Split

Pump Down Cycle

WhisperKOOL’s split systems operate on a pump down cycle dierent from traditional air conditioners. As such, there is no wiring

between the condensing unit and evaporator unit.

WhisperKOOL units utilize a solenoid valve on the liquid line and a low-pressure switch on the suction line. When the thermostat

calls for cooling, the solenoid valve opens, permitting the ow of refrigerant. The low-pressure switch then signals the compressor

to cycle on.

When the cellar reaches the desired temperature and the thermostat is satised, the solenoid will close, stopping the liquid

refrigerant ow to the TXV valve. The compressor will continue to operate until most of the refrigerant on the low side boils o

and is pumped through the compressor into the condenser coil and receiver. As the suction pressure falls below the pressure

control setting, the low-pressure switch will signal the compressor to cycle o. Most of the refrigerant is now stored between the

condensing unit and receiver.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

WARNING: Do not utilize a ground fault interrupter, as it will prevent

the unit from drawing the necessary amperage to start the unit.

QUICK START GUIDE*

TXV Adjustments

A. A TXV adjustment may be necessary based on ambient temperatures in the cellar and at the condensing unit.

B. Adjust the TXV until the total superheat measured at the suction line service valve is 20-30°F.

C. Under normal operation, with the wine cellar at 55°F and the ambient temperature at 85°F, the low side pressure should be

between 28-32 PSI and the high side should be between 145-155 PSI.

*Further system operation information is available on page 39.

Liquid Line King Valve

This location is used to charge the system with liquid refrigerant

and identify the high side pressure of the system.

Calculating Subcooling

To determine the subcooling of the system, calculate the dierence

between the high side pressure of the system (converted to

temperature) and the temperature of the liquid line. The temperature

of the liquid line will be taken at the outlet of the receiver.

*Saturation temp — liquid line temp

4-6°F SUBCOOLING REQUIRED FOR WARRANTY APPROVAL

TXV

The TXV is preadjusted at the factory. If the superheat is not within

20-30° at the service valve, the TXV will need to be adjusted.

ADJUSTING THE TXV

Use a ⁄” hex key to remove the cap from the TXV superheat

adjustment port. With the cap removed, insert the hex key into

the superheat adjustment port. Increase superheat by turning the

hex key clockwise. Decrease superheat by turning the hex key

counterclockwise.

BEFORE YOU START 1-800-343-9463

1. Inspect all components prior to installation. If damage is found, please contact your distributor or WhisperKOOL Customer

Service at 1-800-343-9463.

2. The evaporator unit requires a dedicated 115V, 15-amp circuit. The 4000 condenser requires a dedicated 115V, 15-amp

circuit. The 8000 condenser requires a dedicated 115V, 20-amp circuit. Use a surge protector with the unit. Do not use a

GFI (ground fault interrupter) line.

3. No communication cable is required between the evaporator and condensing unit.

4. You are REQUIRED to install a drain line to remove condensation from the evaporator unit.

5. The warranty is not active until a warranty checklist has been received, reviewed, and approved.

6. The system is intended for use in properly designed and constructed wine cellars. Hire a professional wine storage

consultant with a valid contractor’s license to build your wine cellar.

7. WhisperKOOL requires that all split systems be installed by a certified HVAC-R technician only. NATE or equivalent is

recommended.

If you encounter a problem with your WhisperKOOL system, please refer to the Troubleshooting Guide. If you have any further

questions or concerns, or need assistance, please contact WhisperKOOL’s Customer Service at 1-800-343-9463. Please be sure all

testing has been completed prior to contacting Customer Service. Please have your results ready for your representative.
