Designed for Fully Insulated Wine Cellars Up to 1,750 Cubic Feet
The WhisperKOOL Platinum Split 8000 Ducted 220V High-Efficiency system is engineered for properly constructed residential or commercial wine cellars up to approximately 1,750 cubic feet.
This system is designed for projects that require:
Remote condenser placement (up to 100 line feet away)
Reduced noise inside the cellar
Flexible ducted installation
220V high-efficiency operation
Stable performance in warm climates
Heat load calculations should always be performed prior to selecting a cooling system.
✔ The cellar is fully insulated (minimum R-19 walls recommended) ✔ A continuous vapor barrier is installed ✔ The cellar volume does not exceed 1,750 cu. ft. ✔ A 220V dedicated 15-amp circuit is available ✔ The condenser can be installed in a ventilated environment ✔ Duct routing allows proper airflow design
This system may not be appropriate when:
✘ The cellar exceeds 1,750 cu. ft. ✘ Large uninsulated glass walls are present ✘ Insulation or vapor barrier is incomplete ✘ Ambient condenser intake frequently exceeds 120°F ✘ No HVAC-R installer is available
Improper insulation and missing vapor barriers are the most common causes of cooling performance issues.
System Configuration
This is a split ducted system consisting of:
Evaporator Unit installed inside or near the cellar
Condensing Unit installed remotely (up to 100 line feet away)
The ducted configuration allows the cooling equipment to remain discreet and reduces direct sound exposure inside the wine room.
Cooling Performance
Cooling capacity varies based on condenser air intake temperature and fan speed.

Performance Notes
Higher condenser air temperatures reduce total cooling capacity.
Proper condenser ventilation improves system efficiency.
Sensible BTU represents temperature reduction only.
Total BTU includes humidity management capacity.
Wine storage requires both temperature stability and controlled humidity to preserve cork integrity and aging conditions.
Operating Conditions
The Platinum Split 8000 can maintain a 55°F cellar temperature with condenser air intake temperatures up to 120°F, provided:
The cellar is fully insulated
A continuous vapor barrier is installed
Heat load does not exceed system design capacity
Extreme heat exposure, glass-heavy construction, or under-insulated spaces may require a larger system.
Sound Levels
Evaporator noise level: 56–62 dBA (varies by fan speed)
Ducted configuration significantly reduces audible presence inside the cellar compared to self-contained systems. Actual sound levels depend on installation design.
