WhisperKOOL Platinum Mini Split Ductless Wine Cellar Cooling System

WhisperKOOL Platinum Mini Split Ductless Wine Cellar Cooling System

The WhisperKOOL Platinum Mini Split Ductless Cooling System is a high-performance solution designed to provide precise climate control for wine cellars up to approximately 500 cubic feet. Its ductless split configuration separates the evaporator and condenser, allowing for quiet operation inside the cellar while keeping heat and noise-producing components outside.

Engineered for efficiency and flexibility, this system is ideal for installations where ducting is not practical. The compact evaporator unit can be mounted inside the cellar while the condenser is installed remotely, helping maintain a clean and organized storage space without sacrificing cooling performance.

Equipped with advanced digital controls and a liquid-temperature bottle probe, the system ensures accurate monitoring and stable temperature conditions for proper wine preservation. Its quiet operation and energy-efficient performance make it suitable for both residential and light commercial wine storage applications.

Built with durable components and designed for long-term reliability, the WhisperKOOL Platinum Mini Split system provides dependable cooling performance while maintaining ideal cellar conditions for aging and storing wine collections.

Is This the Right Cooling System for Your Cellar?

Best For

• Wine cellars up to 500 cu. ft.
• Fully insulated, vapor-barrier sealed rooms
• Glass wine walls
• Installations requiring remote condenser placement
• Projects requiring quiet in-cellar operation

Not Suitable For

• Uninsulated basements
• Rooms without a vapor barrier
• General comfort cooling
• DIY installation without HVAC certification
• Cellars exceeding 500 cu. ft.

If your cellar exceeds 500 cubic feet, consider the Platinum Split 4000 or 8000 models.

How the Ductless Split System Works

This system consists of two separate components:

Evaporator (Fan Coil Unit)
Installed inside the wine cellar.

Condenser (Air-Cooled Unit)
Installed remotely — up to 100 line feet away — in a utility room, attic, mechanical space, or outdoors (with protective housing).

Because the condenser is separated from the cellar:

• Heat is expelled outside the wine room
• Noise levels inside the cellar are reduced
• Installation flexibility increases

The ductless version includes a visible grille inside the cellar. If concealed airflow is required, a ducted split system may be more appropriate.

Installation & Construction Requirements

This is a professional-grade refrigeration system and must be installed by a qualified HVAC-R technician.

Required Conditions

• Fully insulated cellar (walls, ceiling, door)
• Proper vapor barrier on warm side of insulation
• Dedicated 115V, 15-amp circuits
• Properly sized refrigerant line set
• Condensate drainage planning

Failure to meet these requirements may result in:

• Inability to maintain 55°F
• Continuous system runtime
• Condensation damage
• Premature compressor wear
• Voided warranty

This unit will not compensate for poor cellar construction.
