WhisperKOOL Platinum Split 4000 OMEGA 110V Ducted Wine Cellar Cooling System

WhisperKOOL Platinum Split 4000 OMEGA 110V Ducted Wine Cellar Cooling System

The WhisperKOOL Platinum Split 4000 OMEGA 110V Ducted Wine Cellar Cooling System is designed to provide reliable and precise temperature control for mid-sized wine cellars up to approximately 1,000 cubic feet. Built with a fully ducted configuration, this system allows both the evaporator and condenser to be installed remotely, keeping the wine cellar quiet, visually clean, and free from excess heat.

Engineered for performance and efficiency, this unit uses advanced cooling technology to maintain stable cellar conditions ideal for wine preservation. Its ducted design offers flexibility in installation, allowing conditioned air to be delivered discreetly while maximizing available storage space and improving overall airflow.

The system is equipped with a smart digital thermostat and a liquid-temperature bottle probe to ensure accurate and consistent readings. With remote placement capability and a 50-foot thermostat cable, users can conveniently monitor and adjust conditions to meet specific storage requirements.

Built for durability and long-term use, the Platinum Split 4000 OMEGA features heavy-duty components, flare fittings for secure installation, and cold ambient protection for dependable operation in varying environments. It is suitable for both residential collectors and commercial wine storage applications seeking quiet, efficient cooling.

Who This System Is For

This cooling unit is appropriate if:

• Your cellar does not exceed 1,000 cubic feet
• Walls are insulated to R-19 minimum
• Ceiling is insulated to R-30 recommended
• A 6-mil vapor barrier is installed on the warm side of insulation
• The room is sealed airtight
• You can run insulated ductwork
• A licensed HVAC-R technician will perform installation

When This System Is NOT Appropriate

Do NOT select this unit if:

• The cellar exceeds 1,000 cu. ft.
• The space lacks insulation or vapor barrier
• The condenser intake air may exceed 120°F
• You cannot run ductwork
• You want a DIY self-contained cooling unit
• The cellar shares walls with an unconditioned garage without proper insulation

Improper installation or poor construction conditions will reduce cooling performance and may void warranty.

How the Ducted Split System Works

Evaporator (Fan Coil Unit)

Installed in or near the cellar and connected via insulated ducting. Circulates cooled air while drawing warm return air back for conditioning.

Condenser (Air-Cooled Unit)

Installed remotely (mechanical room, ventilated attic, or utility area). Removes heat from the refrigerant and exhausts it outside the cellar environment.

Because both components are remotely located and ducted, no visible cooling equipment is installed inside the cellar.

Cooling Performance & Capacity

• Cooling capacity varies based on condenser intake temperature and fan speed.

Rated Cellar Capacity

• Up to 1,000 cu. ft.* (with proper insulation and vapor barrier)

BTU Performance (Sensible / Total)

Important: Cooling output decreases as condenser intake temperature rises. Adequate ventilation is required in the condenser installation space.
