WhisperKOOL Platinum Split 8000 Ductless Cooling System 220V High Efficiency

Is the Platinum Split 8000 Right for Your Wine Cellar?

The WhisperKOOL Platinum Split 8000 (220V High Efficiency) is designed for wine cellars up to approximately 1,750 cubic feet when the space is:

• Fully insulated
• Sealed with a proper vapor barrier
• Professionally heat-load calculated
• Built to standard wine cellar construction practices

This system is ideal when you need:

• A ductless evaporator inside the cellar
• A remotely located condenser (up to 100 line feet away)
• Improved energy efficiency compared to 110V models
• Quiet operation with flexible installation options

If your cellar meets these conditions, this model is often an appropriate mid-to-large residential solution.

Available in WhisperKOOL Platinum Split 8000 Ductless Cooling System 110V & Platinum Split 8000 Ductless Cooling System 220V for 1750 cu.ft.

Other Sizes: WhisperKOOL Platinum Mini Split 220V H.E. for 500 cu.ft., WhisperKOOL Platinum Split 4000 220V H.E. for 1000 cu.ft. wine cellar, and WhisperKOOL Platinum Split Twin 220V H.E. for 3000 cu.ft. wine cellar.

When You Should NOT Choose This Model

This system may not be appropriate if:

• The cellar is not insulated to proper R-values
• A vapor barrier is missing or improperly installed
• The room includes extensive uninsulated glass
• The space exceeds 1,750 cubic feet without engineering verification
• You require fully concealed cooling (consider a ducted split model instead)

Improper sizing is the most common cause of cooling failure. A professional heat load calculation is strongly recommended before purchase.

How the Platinum Split 8000 Ductless System Works

This is a split-system wine cellar cooling unit, meaning:

• The evaporator is installed inside or adjacent to the cellar.
• The condenser is installed remotely (attic, mechanical room, or outdoors).

The evaporator delivers cooled air directly into the cellar through a visible grille. Heat is removed through refrigerant lines to the condenser, which may be installed up to 100 line feet away.

This separation reduces noise and heat transfer inside the cellar while allowing flexible installation.

Cooling Performance & Capacity

Cooling output varies depending on condenser air intake temperature. As ambient temperature increases, total BTU output decreases.

Performance by Condenser Intake Temperature

Important: These values assume a fully insulated and sealed cellar with proper vapor barrier construction.

Temperature Capability

• Designed to maintain a 55°F cellar temperature
• Operates in environments with condenser intake temperatures up to 120°F
• Performance depends on insulation quality and construction

Installation Requirements

Electrical Requirements

Evaporator

• 120V
• 15-amp dedicated circuit required
• Running Amps: 2.2

Condenser (220V High Efficiency)

• 220V
• 15-amp dedicated circuit required
• LRA: 13.2
