WhisperKOOL XLT 8000 – The Cooling Solution for the Serious Wine Collector

WhisperKOOL XLT Series

The WhisperKOOL 8000 is the top of the line wine cellar cooling unit available within the WhisperKOOL XLT series. It is capable of cooling a wine cellar of up to 2,000 cubic feet. Similar to other products in this line it is a self-contained unit so the evaporator and the condenser are both located in the one unit.

The avid wine collector knows that in order for wine to mature properly both the temperature and humidity of the wine cellar need to be carefully monitored.

The WhisperKOOL system of wine cellar cooling units use a patented Liquid-Measuring Thermostat. The units incorporate a probe designed to measure the liquid temperature in a wine bottle rather than the air temperature of the cellar. In this way they are able to maintain the wine at a precise, measured temperature.

Humidity on the other hand is controlled automatically by the system. As the temperature begins to drop within the wine cellar, the relative humidity will rise, while the absolute humidity will stay the same. This is achieved by gently cooling the cellar rather than by the quick-chilling. Many other cooling units simply cool the area as fast as possible which ends up removing the humidity and thereby dehydrating the air.

The WhisperKOOL XLT 8000 is a specialized piece of equipment designed to absorb heat from a cellar and discharge it through the rear of the unit into an adjacent room. The unit will operate 75 to 80 percent of the time in order to maintain an ideal temperature and humidity in a wine cellar. Essentially, it will operate as needed to absorb the heat that naturally permeates the cellar. It is important to follow the cellar construction guides provided to maximize effectiveness based on the quality of efficiency in the vapor barrier, therefore reducing the operating time of the cooling unit itself. This will help to extend the lifetime of your wine cooling unit.

Another feature critical to the proper aging of wine is that the WhisperKOOL XLT 8000 operates with a minimum of vibration. Vibration can disturb the natural aging process of wine and compromise its quality. All WhisperKOOL XLT wine cellar cooling units are designed with state-of-the-art compressors and components. This combination is engineered to provide vibration free operation.

It is also important to be aware of the fact that while the WhisperKOOL 8000 unit can be set at any temperature within the acceptable wine-aging range of 50°F – 70°F, it can only cool to 30°F cooler than the ambient temperature of the space it is exhausting to. So, if you live in an area that regularly sees temperatures climb into the 80′s or 90′s you will need to install the unit in an interior wall for maximum efficiency.

Finally, speaking of installation the WhisperKOOL system is designed to be installed through the wall and fits between standard wall studs with a minimum of modification to existing structures. An HVAC technician is not even required to perform the installation. In addition, the bronze color polymer coating on the galvanized steel housing gives all WhisperKOOL wine cellar cooling units a beautiful, textured finish which resists fingerprints, rust, nicks and scratches.
