WARNING The Evaporator Unit (Fan Coil Unit) must be insulated using the insulation blanket provided in accordance with this manual. Refer to the insulation blanket installation instructions. Failure to follow the instructions provided will result in a poor vapor barrier, water damage, rust, and system corrosion which will void the warranty on your unit. The Evaporator Unit (Fan Coil Unit) must be insulated using fiberglass insulation (R13 or higher) in addition to the provided insulation blanket. This includes the cavity between the ceiling joists. A warm attic environment will reduce the capacity of the cooling system, as the system will absorb heat from the attic in addition to the heat load from the wine cellar. This, in effect, will significantly reduce the cooling system s ability to cool the wine cellar. Failure to properly insulate the Evaporator Unit may cause condensation to form on the surface of the housing and water damage to the surrounding structure, the cooling unit, and possibly the wine cellar. To avoid these issues, install the insulation kit and insulate the surface of the Evaporator Unit that is located outside of the wine cellar using fiberglass insulation. *Additional insulation is required!

PREPARING THE WINE CELLAR The performance and life of your system is contingent upon the steps you take in preparing the wine cellar. Improperly preparing your enclosure or incorrectly installing your unit may cause unit failure, leaking of condensation, and other negative side effects. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU OBTAIN THE ASSISTANCE OF A WINE STORAGE PROFESSIONAL. Wine storage professionals work with licensed contractors, refrigeration technicians, and racking companies to build well-insulated, beautiful, and protective wine cellars. WhisperKOOL has put together some useful tips to assist in the installation process. Our recommendations are meant to act as a guide in the process of building a proper enclosure. Your intended location may have specific needs which we do not address. Wall and Ceiling Framing Build wine cellar walls using standard 2x4 or 2x6 boards and ceiling joists without violating local or state codes in your area. As a general rule, the thicker the walls and the higher the insulation value, the more consistent your cellar temperature will be. Insulation Insulation is REQUIRED in order to properly use WhisperKOOL products. It is vital that all walls and ceilings be insulated to keep the cellar temperature as consistent as possible during the summer and winter months. Standard fiberglass or rigid foam insulation is normally used in cellar construction; in some cases, blown-in insulation is used. The R-value, or quality of insulation, is determined by the rate at which heat passes through the insulation. The higher the R-value, the more resistant the insulation is to conducting heat, and the more consistent your wine cellar s temperature will be. Using higher R-values in insulation will lower your operating costs and WhisperKOOL unit run time. (R-13 is the recommended minimum; R-19 is preferred for interior cellar walls, and R-30 for ceilings and exterior walls.) Vapor Barrier Water vapor creates its own pressure, separate from the ambient air pressure, and will intrude into colder/drier areas. A vapor barrier is REQUIRED in order to prevent the intrusion of water vapor and maintain the correct cellar temperature and humidity. It is recommended that 6-millimeter plastic sheeting be applied to the warm side of the cellar walls. The vapor barrier must also be applied to the outside walls and ceiling. If it is impossible to reach the outside, then the plastic must be applied from within the cellar. The most common method is to wrap the entire interior, leaving the plastic loose in the stud cavity so the insulation can be placed between each stud. All of the walls and ceiling must be wrapped in plastic for a complete vapor barrier. In areas of high humidity, such as Southern and Gulf States, the vapor barrier will prevent infiltration of warm moist air. The moist air can cause mold to form, and standing water in drain pans promote microbial and fungal growth that cause unpleasant odors and indoor air quality problems. If mold is found, remove it immediately and sanitize that portion of the unit. NOTE: High humidity significantly increases the heat load on the cooling system. Any break in the vapor barriers (cut, nail hole, over-lapping, etc.) will cause a moisture leak and must be sealed. The electric conduit is a duct for vapor to travel in. The conduit should be caulked and sealed on the warm air end. Page 10 1-800-343-9463 WCM 011117

Unobstructed Airflow Unobstructed airflow to and from the system is critical for the system s overall performance and lifespan. A minimum of 3 feet of clearance around the unit is crucial (5 feet is ideal). The air blown by the fans needs to circulate and either dissipate or absorb heat from the space. The system will operate more efficiently with a greater amount of air to exchange. Note: Avoid attempting to camouflage the unit. This will restrict airflow, and thus the system s ability to work efficiently. Door and Door Seal An exterior-grade (13/4 ) door must be installed as a cellar door. It is very important that weather stripping is attached to all four sides of the doorjamb. A bottom sweep or threshold is also required. The door must have an excellent seal to keep the cool cellar air from escaping the cellar. If the door is not sealed properly, the cooling system may run continuously, shortening its operational lifespan. In cases where glass doors are used and the room size is close to the recommended system size, the next larger size WhisperKOOL system should be used. This will compensate for the insulation loss due to the lower insulation rating of glass. www.whisperkool.com Page 11

Ventilation The necessity of dissipating heat away from the Condensing Unit is critical to the system s performance and cannot be overstated. As the system operates and cools, a greater amount of heat is generated on the condensing side of the system. Adequate ventilation is required in order to dissipate heat away from the Condensing Unit. If ventilation is inadequate, the exhaust will heat the area or room and adversely affect the system s ability to cool. In some cases, it may be advisable to install a vent fan to dissipate heat within the exhaust area on the condensing side of the system. However, you must have a fresh air inlet as well. Note: If you are unsure whether you have adequate ventilation in your installation location, please contact us to assess your specific installation at support@whisperkool.com or 1-800-343-9463. CEILING EVAPORATOR UNIT Note: The unit comes in black. The mounting bracket and front grille are paintable, enabling you to match your desired color. Ambient Temperature Factor The cooling system has the ability to cool a wine cellar efficiently to 55 F as long as the ambient temperature of the area to which it is exhausting does not exceed 110 F. Therefore, you the Condensing Unit to exhaust in a space which will not exceed 110 F, allowing for proper dissipation of the heat exhausted by the Condensing Unit. Without proper heat dissipation the system will not have the capacity to keep the wine at a desirable 55 F. WARNING! allowing your system to operate in high ambient temperatures for extended periods of time will greatly decrease the life of your system and void your warranty. The cooler the temperature of the air entering the condenser coil, the more cooling capacity the system has. The less heat gain through the common wall, the lower the consumption of electricity.

DRAIN LINE Condensation Drain Line The condensation drain line tube is used to remove excess condensation from the unit to a proper discharge location. It is important that the drain line tube is properly connected. Failure to use the condensation drain line tube will void the warranty on the unit. Drain Line The Ceiling Mount Evaporator Unit features a drain line pump system that removes excessive condensate build up in the drain pan. During operation, the drain pan collects water that drips from the coil. The drain line pump system will prevent overflow and leaking by allowing for discharge of the additional condensate. The longevity of the drain line pump may be compromised if the system operates dry. To prevent the pump from starting dry, an anti-siphon device must be installed in the drain line tubing as shown in Figure 9. This device should be installed in the drain line post pump on the exterior of the Evaporator Unit. WhisperKOOL recommends installing the anti-siphon device relatively close to the Evaporator Unit because water will remain between the pump and the device. NOTE: The anti-siphon device only needs to be used when the drain line is routed below the level of the Evaporator Unit. In this case the anti-siphon device should be installed in the drain line at the level of the Evaporator Unit. Connecting the Drain Line Route the drain line to an appropriate discharge location using the supplied barb coupling and 1/4 tubing. Do not route the drain line more than 30 vertical ft. Anti-Siphon Device FIGURE 9 Proper Drain Location WRONG: Drain line is under water. To prevent mold from growing, allow the drain line to hang above the water line. Note: Water will remain between the pump and the anti-siphon device at all times. www.whisperkool.com Page 25

LIQUID-MEASURING THERMOSTAT SYSTEM (BOTTLE PROBE) WhisperKOOL cooling units come with a liquid-temperature-measuring thermostat. This incorporates the following advantages: Self-Calibrating Bottle Probe The bottle probe contains a sensor chip, which communicates back and forth with the thermostat. This results in a consistent temperature setting and accuracy. 1. Wine should be kept at a very precise, controlled temperature and humidity. 2. By measuring the liquid temperature rather than air, the unit will operate 75 80% of the time. Setting up the Bottle Probe: Figure 1 1. Locate an empty wine bottle. 2. Fill it 75% full with room-temperature tap water. 3. Place bottle probe securely into bottle as seen in Figure 1. 4. Place bottle off to the side of the unit in your wine cellar, with the probe level. 5. To ensure a consistent temperature, place bottle probe approximately three (3) feet away from the air output and not in the flow of the air. It is recommended that the bottle be placed in a central location of your wine cellar. Avoid pulling too much on the probe cord. It may become disconnected resulting in limited functionality of the unit. Note: The thermostat can be set between 45 67 F. Remember: The CellarCool unit operates based on the temperature of the water. Do not be misled by thermostats reading air temperature. The air temperature in the cellar will be cooler than the liquid temperature of the wine while it is reaching the optimum balanced temperature. Page 26 1-800-343-9463 WCM 011117

PREPARING THE CONDENSING UNIT Electrical Needs The Condensing Unit requires a dedicated 115V, 20-amp circuit. The unit draws a large inrush current for about 1 second the instant the compressor starts. With a dedicated circuit and circuit breaker, the Condensing Unit will have sufficient power for effective operation. (The compressor is controlled by a low-pressure switch mounted on the Condensing Unit. This feature eliminates the need for wiring between the Evaporator Unit/Fan Coil Unit and the Condensing Unit.) Ensure the voltage supplied matches the rating specified on the unit spec label. Provide a non-gfi dedicated circuit and an appropriate outlet for the Evaporator Unit. Provide a dedicated circuit and circuit breaker for the Condensing Unit. Provide a weatherproof disconnect for the Condensing Unit if it is located outside. Power surges and spikes can damage sensitive electrical equipment. WhisperKOOL recommends plugging the unit into a surge protector or power conditioner in order to protect your system. As outlined in our terms and conditions, power surges and spikes are not covered under warranty. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT USE A GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER (GFI) WITH THIS PRODUCT. In case the system should lose power, check the home/main circuit breaker. If the system does not respond properly, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide on page 49. When connecting Cold Weather Start Kit: Evaporator: Connect one end of the low-voltage 18-2 thermostat wire to the blue and yellow wires. Condensing Unit: Connect the other end of the 18-2 low-voltage thermostat wire to the grey and purple wires located in the grey electrical box on the condenser skid. www.whisperkool.com Page 35

PREPARING THE CONDENSING UNIT (continued) The Condensing Unit can be installed inside a well-ventilated area of the home, but is typically installed outside. Exterior applications will require the use of a protective housing. The amount of sun exposure should be considered when selecting the placement of the Condensing Unit.The Condensing Unit requires a dedicated 20-amp circuit (non-gfi). Make sure there is a minimum of three (3) feet of horizontal clearance in every direction around the unit (five feet is ideal). The unit may either be hard-wired or plug-in, depending on local electrical codes. Inside Condensing Unit Installations: Inside installations require special consideration, as there must be adequate ventilation to remove the heat created during normal operations. An exhaust port with fan may need to be installed to ensure that heat is effectively removed from the utility room. There must be a return grille or provision for 500-600 CFM of cool air to enter the room to replace the exhausted air. Unobstructed airflow to and from the unit is a critical factor in the unit s overall performance. Make sure there is a minimum of three (3) feet of horizontal clearance in every direction around the unit (five feet is ideal). This will assure that the unit can move the air around the room in an efficient manner. Outdoor Condensing Unit Installations: You must utilize the exterior Condensing Unit housing for outdoor installations. Place the Condensing Unit on a solid foundation in a location with adequate ventilation. Make sure there is a minimum of three (3) feet of horizontal clearance in every direction around the unit (five feet is ideal). The unit should be elevated 18 inches in order to avoid any possible flooding or damage by animals, and should be clear of leaves, dirt, and other debris. Page 36 1-800-343-9463 WCM 011117

INSTALLING THE CONDENSING UNIT Refrigerant Piping Overview Using the charts and illustrations found above, route the line set between the Evaporator Unit and Condensing Unit. Be sure to reference the chart for correct line set sizing. All horizontal suction piping should be pitched toward the Condensing Unit half an inch for every 10 feet of pipe. When installing and routing the line set, cap both ends of each tube to prevent debris from entering the tubing. Prior to connecting the piping to the Evaporator and Condensing Units, loosely connect a refrigerant manifold to the suction and liquid line service valves. Purge the hoses with dry nitrogen and tighten the hose connections. Remove the service valve caps and turn the valve stem clockwise half a turn to unseat the valve and open the service port. Keep the piping ports sealed until ready to braze. Purge the fittings with dry nitrogen at a slow rate to prevent formation of highly abrasive copper oxide. Perform all brazes. Pressure test the system and check for leaks. Insulate the suction line using wall cellular insulation or equivalent. Seal all seams with Armaflex 520 Foam Insulation Adhesive or equivalent. Wrap each seam using line set tape. Liquid Line Piping Procedure 1/4 OD copper tubing is required for the liquid line on all systems. Braze a short piece of 1/4 copper tubing to the liquid line service valve. Connect the supplied refrigerant drier to the tubing. Downstream from the drier, connect the moisture-indicating sight glass in an easily visible location. Run the tubing to the Evaporator Unit (Fan Coil Unit) and attach to the liquid line connection on the Evaporator Unit (Fan Coil Unit). Suction Piping Procedure Install an access valve at the outlet of the Evaporator Unit (Fan Coil Unit). Connect an appropriately sized suction line to the suction line service valve on the Condensing Unit. Run the pre-insulated suction line to the Evaporator Unit (Fan Coil Unit) and attach to the suction line connection on the Evaporator Unit (Fan Coil Unit). Brazing Procedure Connect the bottle probe to the Evaporator Unit (Fan Coil Unit). Fill a wine bottle 75% full of room-temperature water. Insert the bottle probe into the neck of the bottle as far as possible. It is important that the bottle probe stopper be compressed by the neck of the bottle to ensure water will not leak. Energize the Evaporator Unit (Fan Coil Unit) and set the keypad to call for cooling. Verify that the set point on the control is set low enough to allow the unit to run for the entire length of the brazing, evacuation, and charging procedure. Remove the valve depressors from the gauge hoses on a four-valve manifold. Connect the manifold to the low-pressure service valve port on the Condensing Unit and a nitrogen tank. Open the suction line service valve and purge the system with nitrogen. Braze all connections and cool off quickly. Cap the access valve on the suction line. Connect the high-pressure hose from the manifold to the liquid line service valve port. Pressure test the system at 150 psi for 20 minutes. Check all braze joints with leak detector or soap bubbles. Release the nitrogen once it is confirmed that there are no leaks. www.whisperkool.com Page 41

INSTALLING THE CONDENSING UNIT (continued) Evacuation Remove the nitrogen tank from the manifold and attach the manifold to the refrigerant tank. Install a micron gauge on the access valve near the Evaporator Unit (Fan Coil Unit). Mid-seat both service valves. Install service caps on the valves. Energize the liquid line solenoid valve. After confirming that there is fresh oil in the vacuum pump, connect the 3/8 hose from the manifold to the pump. Start the pump and run it until the micron gauge on the Evaporator Unit (Fan Coil Unit) reads 200 microns or less. Disconnect the vacuum pump from the system. Break the vacuum by pressurizing the system to approximately 5 PSI with R-134a refrigerant. Remove the micron gauge from the access valve. Charging Install a low-pressure gauge on the access valve near the Evaporator Unit (Fan Coil Unit). With the power off to the Condensing Unit, admit liquid refrigerant through the liquid line service valve until the refrigerant stops flowing. Turn on the circuit breaker for the Condensing Unit. The compressor should turn on if the pressure in the suction line is above 20 psi. Add refrigerant (in vapor form) to the low side of the system. Observe the sight glass. If bubbles are present, add more refrigerant (in vapor form) to the low side. Once the sight glass is clear, check the superheat at the outlet of the Evaporator Unit (Fan Coil Unit). Adjust the TXV until the superheat is between 8-12 F degrees. Under normal operation, with the wine cellar at 55 F and the ambient temperature at 85 F, the low side pressure should be between 28-32 PSI and the high side should be between 170-180 PSI. Finalizing the Installation Confirm that the entire suction line from the TXV to the suction line service valve is insulated using cellular insulation or equivalent. Seal all seams with Armaflex 520 Foam Insulation Adhesive or equivalent. Confirm that the control is displaying the correct temperature and that no alarms are present. Refer to page 45 for corrective action if alarms are present. FINALIZING THE INSTALLATION 1. Push the grille back into place. This will attach the grille to the ball studs. 2. Screw in the eight screws to secure the front access panel. Page 42 1-800-343-9463 WCM 011117
