Is the SC PRO Series Right for Your Cellar?

Best For

• Fully insulated residential wine cellars
• Interior installations
• Through-the-wall applications
• Standard construction materials
• Condenser intake air at or below 85°F

Not Recommended For

• Exterior installations in hot climates
• Condenser intake environments above 85°F
• Glass-heavy cellars without upgraded insulation
• Poorly sealed rooms without vapor barrier
• Commercial applications requiring split systems

If your installation environment exceeds 85°F intake air, WhisperKOOL Extreme Series units are more appropriate.

How the SC PRO Series Works

The SC PRO Series improves airflow stability, refrigerant regulation, and condensate management compared to earlier SC models.

Centrifugal Blower Fan System

The SC PRO Series replaces traditional axial fans with centrifugal blowers.

This design:

• Distributes conditioned air more evenly
• Reduces temperature stratification
• Improves airflow consistency in compact rooms
• Operates at lower perceived noise levels

Even airflow is critical in small wine rooms where hot spots can affect wine stability.

TXV (Thermostatic Expansion Valve)

The integrated TXV regulates refrigerant flow based on cooling demand.

Benefits:

• Improved temperature stability
• Reduced compressor strain
• Better efficiency under varying heat loads
• More consistent performance compared to fixed metering systems

This ensures the system adapts dynamically to cellar conditions.

Integrated Condensate Evaporator

The SC PRO Series includes an advanced condensate management system capable of evaporating up to 3 ounces of moisture per hour.

What this means:

• In many standard installations, condensate is managed internally
• A drain line becomes secondary protection

However, a 1/2" ID drain line is still recommended as a safeguard.

Liquid-Temperature Bottle Probe

Unlike air-sensing thermostats, the SC PRO Series uses a liquid-temperature-measuring bottle probe.

Advantages:

• Measures true wine temperature
• Reduces short cycling
• Improves long-term wine preservation
• Maintains more accurate 55°F storage conditions

Digital Front-Facing Controller

The advanced digital display allows:

• Easy temperature adjustment
• System monitoring
• Built-in protective alarms
• Retractable bottle probe cable

Coated Evaporator Coil

The protective coating:

• Reduces corrosion risk
• Extends lifespan in humid environments
• Improves durability

Flexible Power Access

The unit can be powered from either the front or rear.

Electrical Requirement:

• 115V
• 20-amp dedicated circuit
• 230V models subject to availability

Shared circuits are not recommended.

Installation & Environmental Requirements

To achieve rated performance, the wine cellar must:

• Be fully insulated (R-19 walls minimum recommended)
• Have a sealed vapor barrier
• Maintain condenser intake air at or below 85°F
• Use a dedicated electrical circuit
• Avoid venting into enclosed attic spaces without airflow

Failure to meet these requirements may result in:

• Inability to maintain 55°F
• Continuous compressor operation
• Premature component wear
• Reduced system lifespan

Performance Expectations

The SC PRO Series is engineered to maintain:

• 55°F cellar temperature
• With condenser intake air up to 85°F

Performance will degrade if intake air exceeds this limit.

Ducting Options

Exhaust air may be redirected using the optional ducting kit.

Ducting is helpful when:

• Heat needs to be redirected to adjacent rooms
• Installation space is limited
• Airflow management requires flexibility

Improper ducting can reduce system efficiency.

Warranty

• Two-Year Limited Warranty (Parts & Labor)
• Five-Year Limited Warranty (Compressor)

Important Sizing Notice

Cellar size ratings assume:

• Fully insulated room
• Proper vapor barrier
• Standard construction materials
• Minimal glass exposure

If your cellar includes:

• Extensive glass
• Stone or concrete
• High ceilings
• Poor insulation
• Warm surrounding rooms

A larger unit may be required.

Undersizing can cause premature failure and unstable temperatures.

Heat load calculations should always be performed before final selection.

Final Recommendation

The WhisperKOOL SC PRO Series is best suited for:

• Interior residential wine cellars
• Controlled ambient environments
• Fully insulated, sealed rooms
• Through-the-wall installations

If your installation involves elevated ambient temperatures, exterior walls in hot climates, or high-glass architecture, consult a cooling specialist before selecting a unit.
