The proper design and preparation of the wine cellar is essential in order to maintain the ideal
temperature and humidity levels. We have created a typical presentation on “How to Build a
Wine Cellar” which is available for viewing on our web site at
www.whisperkool.com. Failure
to prepare the cellar accordingly will result in the cellar not maintaining proper temperature and
humidity.

Refrigerant Lines and Wiring
• 1/4” OD copper liquid line
• 1/2” OD copper suction line. If longer than 75’, use 5/8” OD pipe. If there is a vertical rise
of more than 10’, reduce to 3/8” OD pipe for the rise.
• 1/2” wall thickness Armaflex (brand name) or equal insulation for suction line
• For suction lines where elbows are required, use “long radius” 90° elbows to reduce
friction loss. Each 90° elbow equals 1ft. equivalent feet of tubing length. Add the
equivalent footage for the total number of 90° elbows to the length of straight tubing with
the total not to exceed 100’.
