Unobstructed Airflow
Unobstructed airflow to and from the unit is critical for the unit’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 unit will operate.
Note: Avoid attempting to camouflage the unit. This will restrict airflow and thus the unit’s ability to work efficiently.
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 units 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 unit
size, the next larger size WhisperKOOL should be used.
This will compensate for the insulation loss due to the
lower insulating rating of glass.
