WhisperKOOL Quantum SS12000 Ducted Split System

WhisperKOOL Quantum SS12000 Ducted Split Wine Cellar Cooling System

The WhisperKOOL Quantum SS12000 is a high-capacity ducted split wine cellar cooling system designed for wine cellars up to 4,000 cubic feet. By separating the evaporator and condenser units, the system allows flexible installation, remote equipment placement, and a significantly quieter cellar environment.

This professional-grade cooling unit is built for large residential wine cellars, commercial wine rooms, and complex custom cellar installations. With powerful cooling performance and ducted airflow, the Quantum SS12000 can maintain a stable 55°F wine cellar temperature even when condenser air intake temperatures reach up to 120°F.

The system includes an advanced digital controller, a liquid bottle temperature probe, and corrosion-resistant components designed for long-term reliability in demanding cellar environments.

Available in WhisperKOOL Quantum SS12000 220V High-Efficiency Condenser for 4000 cu.ft wine cellar.

Other Sizes: WhisperKOOL Quantum SS9000 220V Copeland Condenser & WhisperKOOL Quantum SS9000 220V High-Efficiency Condenser for 3000 cu.ft wine cellar.

Who the Quantum SS12000 Is Best For

The WhisperKOOL Quantum SS12000 is ideal for:

• Wine cellars 3,000–4,000 cubic feet
• Large residential wine cellars
• Commercial wine storage rooms
• Cellars requiring remote equipment placement
• Installations where quiet cellar operation is important
• Custom wine cellar designs requiring ducted airflow

This system is commonly used in high-end custom wine cellars where cooling equipment must be hidden or installed remotely.

Key Features

Fully Ducted Split-System Design

The Quantum SS12000 uses a ducted split-system configuration, separating the evaporator and condenser units. This allows the cooling equipment to be placed outside the cellar while delivering conditioned air through ductwork.

Quiet Wine Cellar Operation

Because the compressor and condenser can be installed remotely, the cooling system produces significantly less noise inside the cellar compared with self-contained cooling units.

Advanced Digital Controller

The system includes a digital control display with a 50-foot cable, allowing the controller to be mounted outside the cellar for convenient monitoring and adjustments.

Liquid Bottle Temperature Probe

The bottle probe measures the temperature of the wine itself rather than the air in the cellar, providing more accurate control of wine storage conditions.

Corrosion-Resistant Electro-Fin Coils

Electro-fin coated coils help protect the system from corrosion, extending the life of the cooling unit in humid or coastal environments.

High Ambient Temperature Performance

The Quantum SS12000 is engineered to maintain proper cellar temperatures even when condenser air intake temperatures reach up to 120°F.

Cooling Capacity

The WhisperKOOL Quantum SS12000 is designed for wine cellars up to:

4,000 cubic feet

Cooling performance varies depending on condenser air intake temperature.

Cooling capacities are approximated for wine cellars that are fully insulated and sealed with a proper vapor barrier. Heat load calculations should always be performed before selecting a cooling system.
