Who This System Is For

The WhisperKOOL Ceiling Mount 8000 is designed for wine collectors who want:

• A low-visibility cooling system
• A flush ceiling-mounted evaporator inside the cellar
• A remotely located condenser outside the cellar
• Quiet operation without ductwork
• Reliable performance in properly constructed wine rooms

It is ideal for:

• Cellars up to 2,000 cubic feet
• Residential wine rooms
• Remodel projects where wall space is limited
• Applications requiring condenser placement up to 100 feet away

When This System Is NOT Appropriate

This system may not perform as expected if:

• The cellar lacks a vapor barrier
• Insulation is below recommended R-values
• There are large glass walls or doors
• The space is not fully sealed
• Dedicated electrical circuits are unavailable
• The condenser is exposed to extreme weather without protection

Improper installation or inadequate insulation can cause failure to reach temperature and may void the warranty.

System Overview

The Ceiling Mount 8000 uses a split system design:

• The evaporator installs flush between ceiling joists inside the cellar.
• The condenser installs remotely (indoors or outdoors with protection).
• Refrigerant line set connects the two components.
• No ducting is required.

This configuration keeps the cooling system visually discreet while maintaining proper airflow at the ceiling level, where warm air naturally accumulates.
