Door and Door Seal
An exterior grade (1 3/4”) door must be installed as a cellar
door. It is essential 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 vapor seal to
prevent warmer moist air from leaking into 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.
Unobstructed Airow
Unobstructed airflow to and from the system is critical for the Evaporator Unit (Fan Coil Unit) and Condensing Units overall
performance and lifespan. A minimum 3 ft. clearance (5 ft. 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 ability to work efficiently.
Mounting the Evaporator Unit (Fan Coil Unit)
The Evaporator Unit (Fan Coil Unit) must be mounted within 18“ of the top of the room in order to achieve sucient 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.
