Unobstructed Airow
Unobstructed airflow to and from the system is critical for the system’s overall performance and life-span. A
minimum three-foot clearance (five foot is ideal) area is crucial. The air the fans blow needs to circulate and either
dissipate or absorb heat from the space, the more air to exchange the more efficient the system will operate.
Note: Avoid attempting to camouflage the unit. This will restrict airflow and thus the systems’s ability to work
efficiently.
Mounting the Unit
The evaporator unit must be mounted within 18“ of the top of the room in order to achieve sucient cooling.
As the room cools down, the warm air will rise to the ceiling. Mounting the unit high in the room will create a
consistently cool environment by capturing the warm air and replacing it with cool air. Mounting the unit low in
the room will result in a temperature variation in the room due to the unit’s inability to draw warm air from the
ceiling of the cellar to the unit itself, and cold air settling to the oor.
Door and Door Seal
An exterior grade (1 3/4”) door must be installed as a
cellar door. It is very important that weather stripping is
attached to all 4 sides of the doorjamb. A bottom “sweep”
or threshold is also required. The door must have a very
good seal to keep the cool cellar air from escaping out
of the cellar. One of the most common problems with
cooling systems running continually is due to the door not
sealing properly. 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 insulating rating of glass.
