WhisperKOOL Quantum SS12000 Ducted Split Wine Cellar Cooling System

WhisperKOOL Quantum SS12000 Ducted Split Wine Cellar Cooling System

The WhisperKOOL Quantum SS12000 Ducted Split System is a high-capacity cooling solution designed for large residential and commercial wine cellars up to approximately 4,000 cubic feet. Its ducted split-system configuration separates the evaporator and condenser, allowing flexible installation and significantly quieter operation inside the cellar.

Engineered for performance in demanding environments, the system delivers powerful cooling capable of maintaining a stable cellar temperature around 55°F, even when condenser air intake temperatures reach up to 120°F. This makes it suitable for installations in warmer climates or locations with elevated ambient temperatures.

The Quantum SS12000 is built with professional-grade components, including an advanced digital controller and a liquid bottle temperature probe that ensures accurate monitoring of the wine’s temperature rather than just the surrounding air. Its corrosion-resistant construction enhances durability and long-term reliability.

Designed for fully ducted applications, the system allows cooling equipment to be hidden from view, preserving the aesthetics of high-end wine cellars while maximizing usable storage space. Professional HVAC-R installation is required to ensure proper performance and system longevity.

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.

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.
