WhisperKOOL Ceiling Mount 8000 Ductless Split Wine Cellar Cooling System 220V High Efficiency

WhisperKOOL Ceiling Mount 8000 Ductless Split Wine Cellar Cooling System 220V High Efficiency

The WhisperKOOL Ceiling Mount 8000 Ductless Split System 220V High Efficiency is engineered to provide dependable and efficient cooling for medium‑to‑large wine cellars up to approximately 2,000 cubic feet when properly insulated and sealed. Its ceiling‑mounted design draws warm air from the top of the space, cools it, and then distributes conditioned air evenly throughout the cellar, helping maintain optimal storage temperatures.

This system features a high‑efficiency 220V condenser that delivers improved energy performance, quieter operation, and enhanced durability compared to lower‑voltage models. The split‑system design separates the evaporator and condenser units, allowing flexibility in installation and minimizing noise inside the wine area.

Installation and maintenance access have been simplified with flare fittings and relocated wiring, making service by a qualified HVAC‑R technician more straightforward. The unit includes a digital thermostat with remote mounting capability, allowing users to monitor and adjust conditions up to 50 feet away from the unit for convenience and precise control.

The WhisperKOOL Ceiling Mount 8000 combines effective cooling performance with a compact footprint that keeps components flush with the ceiling—maximizing usable cellar space and preserving the aesthetics of your wine storage area.

Quick Summary

• Maximum Cellar Size: Up to 2,000 cubic feet*
• System Type: Ductless split system with flush ceiling-mounted evaporator
• Condenser Voltage: 220V (dedicated circuit required)
• Evaporator Voltage: 120V (dedicated circuit required)
• Maximum Line Set Length: 100 feet
• Thermostat: Advanced digital display (50 ft cable) or optional 24V conversion
• Best For: Fully insulated residential or light commercial wine cellars
• Not Recommended For: Under-insulated cellars, high-glass designs, or spaces without vapor barrier

*Capacity assumes a fully insulated and sealed cellar with proper vapor barrier.

Who This System Is For

The WhisperKOOL Ceiling Mount 8000 is designed for wine collectors who want:

• A low-visibility cooling system
• A flush ceiling-mounted evaporator inside the cellar
• A remotely located condenser outside the cellar
• Quiet operation without ductwork
• Reliable performance in properly constructed wine rooms

It is ideal for:

• Cellars up to 2,000 cubic feet
• Residential wine rooms
• Remodel projects where wall space is limited
• Applications requiring condenser placement up to 100 feet away

When This System Is NOT Appropriate

This system may not perform as expected if:

• The cellar lacks a vapor barrier
• Insulation is below recommended R-values
• There are large glass walls or doors
• The space is not fully sealed
• Dedicated electrical circuits are unavailable
• The condenser is exposed to extreme weather without protection

Improper installation or inadequate insulation can cause failure to reach temperature and may void the warranty.

System Overview

The Ceiling Mount 8000 uses a split system design:

• The evaporator installs flush between ceiling joists inside the cellar.
• The condenser installs remotely (indoors or outdoors with protection).
• Refrigerant line set connects the two components.
• No ducting is required.

This configuration keeps the cooling system visually discreet while maintaining proper airflow at the ceiling level, where warm air naturally accumulates.
