WhisperKOOL Cold Weather Start Kit

Introducing the Cold Weather Start Kit by WhisperKOOL. This kit was

designed exclusively for our split-systems where the condensing unit

will be installed in extremely cold environments. Our split systems are

designed to be adaptable to almost any install, as the condensing unit

can be located in a variety of locations such as a mechanical room,

basement, back yard, or even a rooftop. Our split systems were designed

to operate with the condensing unit exposed to temperatures between 20° F

and 110° F. However, there are some areas in the country that may drop

below 20° F. Due to these conditions WhisperKOOL designed the Cold

Weather Start Kit.

So, when the outside temperatures drop, the

pressure in the system drops as well. This presents a challenge because

our systems operate using a pump down cycle and a low pressure switch to

turn the compressor on and off. However, when the temperature drops

below 20° F the pressure in the system is too low to start the

compressor. The use of an electronic bypass is needed to start the

compressor and temperature controlled heaters installed on the receiver

are needed to raise the pressure in the system to optimal levels.

The Cold Weather Start Kit will bypass the low pressure switch on

startup and keep the pressure in the system high enough to operate

correctly for environments as cold as -15° F.

It is important

that the cooling system stays operational during cold weather

conditions, as heating the house using the central HVAC system will

indirectly increase the temperature of the wine cellar. This kit will

ensure that the cooling system will continue to operate efficiently in

cold weather environments to maintain an optimal wine storage

temperature.

The Cold Weather Start Kit can be ordered as an

upgrade on a new unit from the factory, or as an option for a unit

already installed in the field, which comes with instructions to guide a

technician through the install.
