Wine Cellar Construction Specifications: (Click

Please refer to the link above to see an explanation on how to properly construct
a wine cellar considering all the elements that effect your wine; Temperature,
Humidity, light, and vibration. In addition, a properly constructed wine cellar
is imperative to the efficiency operation of any cooling system chosen for
the wine cellar.
Types of Wine Cellar Cooling Systems:
A. Through-the-wall units: WhisperKOOL ™ XLT Series ; WhisperKOOL ™ Extreme Series
• They are self-contained and therefore do not require a HVAC technician
for installation.
• Mounting the unit in your wine cellar requires only a hole cut in the wall.
Unit is mounted with flanges on exterior of wine cellar.
• Will maintain the required 55 - 58 degree temperature for a wine cellar.
• Designed to maintain the humidity between 55 - 75%.
• Vibration free.
• Plugs into a standard 110 Volt outlet and the plug can be placed in front
or back of the unit at no extra charge.
• All units come equipped with a drain line.
• To operate properly the unit requires a probe be placed into a bottle of wine
to monitor the temperature change of the contents, not the air volume.
• XLT models only, must vent into an adjoining space in your home with a
temperature no greater than 25 degrees higher than the wine cellar
(i.e. a 55 degree temperature in the wine cellar means the unit must vent
into a space no more than 80 degrees). As with any cooling unit
the space the unit is venting into needs to be a minimum of twice
the size of the wine cellar.
• Size determined by doing a heat loss calculation.
• Same basic principals as above, except that the evaporator and condenser
are split.
• The evaporator coil is physically in the room; while the condenser is placed
in another conditioned room or outdoors.
• This system requires a permanent drain.
• The only thing needed between the two units is copper tubing for the
liquid line and suction line (specs contingent on sizing)
• An optional humidifier is available if one wishes to be able to physically
control the humidity.
• Size determined by doing a heat loss calculation.
• Same basic principals as above, except that this system is completely
ducted Similar in principal to central air conditioning.
• Has the capability of being able to physically control the humidity by adding
a humidifier and a dehumidifier.
• Also has the ability to add a temperature/humidity alarm.
• Duct sizing and number of ducts depends on size of unit, and the "throw
feet" rating of the grills use.
• Air Handler and indoor condenser all in one package.
• Supply and return air is ducted to and from machine.
• Drain for excess condensation needed. Has the ability to add humidification
and dehumidification.
• Uses chilled water instead of refrigerant to cool the coils.
• Chiller, for now, is an indoor unit.
• Waterfall application uses the chilled water and a solid mass to control
humidity in the room.
• Cold air is created with an air handler contained in a Redwood cabinet.
• Chiller has a water reservoir, which needs to be monitored.
• An auto fill system is an option.
• Valance application is a trough like system that runs around the top of the
room.
• Uses chilled water to provide refrigeration and humidity.
• There are no moving parts in the valance system.
