To age optimally, wine requires a balance of temperature and humidity. The temperature affects the rate of maturation while the right humidity keeps corks in good shape during the aging process. Dry corks crack and allow wine to oxidize. Excessively wet corks rot, causing the wine to become corked. Wine collectors agree that the ideal temperature for maturing fine wines is 55°F-57°F and that the humidity should be carefully balanced between 50%-70%. WhisperKOOL achieves these optimum conditions by cooling the cellar slowly. As the temperature in the cellar begins to drop, the relative humidity will rise, creating the ideal environment for aging wine. WhisperKOOL incorporates an efficient environmental stabilization system in a compact, easy-to-install, self-contained unit. It is built in a variety of sizes for wine cellars, ranging from 300-to-2,000 cubic feet. The unique difference between the WhisperKOOL system and traditional air-conditioning units is the maintenance of well-conditioned humidity. Traditional air-conditioning units are designed to cool air quickly; as a result, humidity is removed, leaving air dehydrated. The compact size of the WhisperKool system was designed to be space efficient, flexible and easy to install. The shape amplifies natural air currents for efficient temperature disribution and circulation. Advanced contols reside on an angled panel for easy access when the WhisperKool is mounted high on a wall. Rear-flange mounting eliminates the need for a supporting shelf, making installation a snap. Simply cut and frame a hole, slide the WhisperKool system through, and insert the finishing screws -- that's it! click on picture for bigger viewFor Whisperkool System technical specs click below (must have adobe acrobat plugin to view)WHISPERKOOL SELF CONTAINED SYSTEMS (click here for technical specs)
B. Split Refrigeration - Size determined by doing a heatloss calculation. - Same basic principals as above except that the evaporator and condenser are split. - The evaporator coil is physically in the room, while the condenser is usually placed outside or in another conditioned room - This system requires a permanent drain. - The only thing needed between the two units is copper tubing for the liquid line and suction line (specs contingent on sizing).
C. Split Air Handler - Size determined by doing a heatloss calculation. - Same basic principals as above except that this system is completely ducted. - Similar in principal to central air conditioning. - Has the capability of being able to physically control the humidity by adding a humidifier and a dehumidifier. - Also has the ability to add a temperature/humidity alarm. - Duct sizing and number of ducts depends on size of unit, and the "throw feet" rating of the grills used.
D. WCI Self Contained Unit - Air Handler and indoor condenser all in one package. - Supply and return air is ducted to and from machine. - Drain for excess condensation needed. - Has the ability to add humidification and dehumidification.
