WhisperKOOL Platinum Split Twin 220V High Efficiency Ductless Wine Cellar Cooling System

WhisperKOOL Platinum Split Twin 220V High Efficiency Ductless Wine Cellar Cooling System

The WhisperKOOL Platinum Split Twin 220V High Efficiency Ductless Cooling System is a powerful and advanced solution designed for larger wine cellars up to approximately 3,000 cubic feet when properly insulated and sealed with a vapor barrier. This system’s ductless split configuration allows the evaporator and condenser to be located separately, helping keep operation quiet and unobtrusive inside the cellar while maximizing usability and performance.

Built with a high‑efficiency 220V condenser, this model delivers improved energy efficiency and performance compared to standard voltage units. The condenser can be installed up to 100 feet away from the evaporators—whether outdoors or in a utility room—providing flexibility in placement and minimizing noise impacts within the wine storage area.

Advanced system controls include a KDT digital touch display that can be mounted up to 50 feet away and offers Advanced System Protection with alarms for critical parameters. A liquid‑temperature bottle probe delivers precise, reliable temperature measurement of the actual wine rather than only the air in the cellar.

Ideal for residential or commercial applications with glass wine walls or custom cellar designs, this Platinum Split Twin system combines dependable cooling capacity with flexible installation options and precise control features—designed to maintain optimal storage conditions even in challenging environments.

This system is typically selected for:

• Large residential wine cellars
• Glass wine rooms with moderate heat gain
• Restaurants and commercial tasting spaces
• Projects requiring remote condenser placement

The Twin configuration provides increased cooling capacity and improved air distribution compared to single-evaporator systems.

Professional HVAC-R installation is required.

Is the Platinum Split Twin Right for Your Cellar?

This system is appropriate when:

• The cellar size ranges between 2,000–3,000 cu. ft.
• Walls and ceiling are fully insulated
• A proper vapor barrier is installed
• Condenser placement is required outdoors or remotely (up to 100 line feet)
• The project includes moderate glass exposure
• Stable long-term temperature control is required for valuable collections

A professional heat load calculation is strongly recommended before system selection.

When This System Is NOT Recommended

The Platinum Split Twin may not be appropriate if:

• The cellar is under 1,500 cu. ft.
• Insulation is inadequate or vapor barrier is missing
• Exterior glass walls receive direct solar exposure without shading
• The condenser cannot be installed with adequate airflow clearance
• A licensed HVAC-R technician is not available for installation

Selecting an undersized or improperly installed system may result in continuous operation, reduced lifespan, and unstable temperature control.

How the Split Twin System Works

The Platinum Split Twin consists of:

• Two evaporator units installed inside the cellar
• One 220V high-efficiency condensing unit installed outdoors or in a mechanical space

The evaporators distribute cooled air throughout the cellar while the condenser removes heat remotely. This reduces noise inside the cellar and improves installation flexibility.

Maximum recommended line length: 100 feet.

Cooling Performance & Capacity

• Performance values are based on a fully insulated cellar with proper vapor barrier.

Rated Cooling Capacity – Twin 9000

Sensible BTU represents temperature removal.

Total BTU includes both temperature and humidity removal.

Cooling capacity decreases as condenser intake temperature rises — this is normal for refrigeration systems.

The system can maintain approximately 55°F cellar temperature with condenser air intake temperatures up to 120°F.
