Without both the exhaust fan and air intake the warm air
will be locked in the exhaust room, resulting in rising room
temperatures. With the maximum 30˚ degree temperature
differential provided by the WhisperKOOL unit, this will
result in proportionally increasing temperatures in the
wine cellar. For example, if the exhaust room is allowed
to increase its temperature to 95˚ F, then the wine cellar
can only be cooled to 65˚ F.
As a result your WhisperKOOL unit will end up running
continuously , which can lead to icing and other problemns,
including premature failure.

4) Common Exhaust Room Ventilation Issues
Venting the WhisperKOOL unit through an exterior wall is
possible, though not recommended. Installation through
an outside wall can be considered when all of the following
conditions are met:
1) The outside temperature does not exceed 85˚ degrees in
the summer
2) The temperature stays above 40˚ degrees in the winter
3) The exposed back part of the cooling unit is protected
from direct sunlight and rain
(Vinotheque provides an optional outside cover)
Note: if outside ambient temperatures rise above 85˚
degrees, the temperature in the cellar will increase by
a parallel amount., This results in the unit running
continuously, which can lead to icing and other problems
including premature failure.
When the outside temperature falls below 40˚ degrees, the
unit will ice up on the inside, risking premature failure.
