Unobstructed Airflow
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 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.
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.
Note: Avoid attempting to camouflage the unit. This will restrict
airflow, and thus the system’s ability to work efficiently.
