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

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

The WhisperKOOL Mini Ceiling Mount 220V High Efficiency Ductless Split System is a compact yet powerful cooling solution specifically engineered for smaller wine cellars where space is limited. Designed to mount flush within the ceiling, it draws in warm air that naturally rises and cools it before distributing conditioned air throughout the space, helping maintain stable temperatures for wine storage.

This high‑efficiency 220V system is built with professional‑grade components, including a two‑speed fan and a hex mesh grille with an air filter to improve airflow and protect internal components from debris. Its design maximizes cellar racking space and keeps the cooling unit low in sight while maintaining dependable performance.

The unit includes a KDT digital touch display that can be mounted up to 50 feet away, allowing flexible placement of the temperature control panel. Additionally, a liquid‑temperature bottle probe gives precise readings by measuring the temperature of the wine rather than just the surrounding air, supporting accurate climate control.

Installation requires a qualified HVAC‑R technician to ensure proper system performance and warranty compliance, and the integrated features—such as flare fittings and pump for condensation management—help streamline setup and maintenance.

Quick Decision Summary

Best For:

• Residential wine cellars up to 500 cu. ft.
• Fully insulated rooms (R-19 walls, R-30 ceiling minimum)
• Cellars with a sealed vapor barrier
• Projects requiring a ductless split system
• Installations where wall space must be preserved

Not Ideal For:

• Cellars larger than 500 cu. ft.
• Rooms with extensive glass
• Uninsulated or partially insulated spaces
• Installations without a vapor barrier
• Poorly ventilated condenser environments

Heat load calculations should always be performed prior to selecting a cooling system.

How the Mini Ceiling Mount System Works

This split system includes two primary components:

1. Evaporator (Inside the Cellar)

• Flush-mounted between ceiling joists
• Draws warm air that naturally rises
• Cools and redistributes air evenly
• Operates at 46–52 dBA depending on fan speed
• Weight: 35 lbs
• Dimensions: 25.05" L x 11.34" W x 11.17" H

2. Condenser (Installed Remotely)

• Can be installed up to 100 line feet from evaporator
• Must be installed in a ventilated area
• Operates at approximately 51 dBA
• Weight: 51 lbs
• Dimensions: 31.18" L x 10.75" W x 21.18" H

No ducting is required.

Cooling Performance

Cooling capacity depends on condenser air intake temperature.

The system can maintain a 55°F cellar temperature with condenser intake air temperatures up to 120°F, provided the cellar is properly constructed.

Performance declines if condenser ventilation is inadequate.

Electrical Specifications

• Voltage: 220V
• Dedicated 15 amp circuit required
• Running Amps: 1
• LRA: 5.3
• RLA: 1.55
• FLA: 17
• Refrigerant: R-134a

Installation by a licensed HVAC-R technician is required.

Controls & Monitoring

• Advanced digital display (50 ft cable included)
• Liquid-temperature measuring bottle probe (retractable cable)
• Optional 24V thermostat conversion kit
  • Customer must supply compatible 24V thermostat
  • Selecting this option removes the standard WhisperKOOL control and bottle probe

The bottle probe measures liquid temperature rather than ambient air, providing a more accurate reflection of wine storage conditions.

Drain Requirements

• 1/2" ID clear plastic tubing (not included)

Installation Requirements

For proper operation and longevity, the cellar must include:

• R-19 minimum wall insulation
• R-30 minimum ceiling insulation
• Continuous vapor barrier on warm side
• Sealed door and penetrations
• Proper condenser ventilation
• Minimal glass exposure unless compensated in heat load calculation

Improper construction may result in:

• Inability to maintain 55°F
• Excess compressor cycling
• Condensation issues
• Reduced system lifespan

Warranty

Two-Year Limited Warranty (Parts and Labor)
Professional installation required for warranty validity.

When to Choose This Model

Choose the Mini Ceiling Mount 220V if:

• Your cellar is 500 cu. ft. or smaller
• You want a clean ceiling-mounted design
• You prefer a ductless split system
• You need remote condenser placement
• Noise reduction inside the cellar is important

If your cellar exceeds 500 cubic feet or includes significant glass, a higher-capacity model should be evaluated.

Final Recommendation

The WhisperKOOL Mini Ceiling Mount 220V High Efficiency split system is a strong solution for small, properly constructed wine cellars where space efficiency and remote condenser placement are priorities.

It is not designed for oversized, glass-heavy, or poorly insulated rooms.

Proper cellar construction and professional installation are essential to achieve consistent 55°F storage conditions and long-term system performance.
