Built for serious collectors, luxury residential cellars, hospitality wine storage, and custom projects where cooling power, quiet operation, and hidden equipment are priorities. Designed for wine cellars up to approx. 4,000 cu. ft. Estimated 12,530–13,844 BTU/h cooling range Fully ducted split-system configuration Remote condenser placement helps reduce cellar noise Includes bottle probe and KDT digital touch display Professional HVAC-R installation required Installation Notice: A qualified HVAC-R technician is required to install the WhisperKOOL Quantum SS12000 Ducted Split System. Failure to follow this requirement may void the manufacturer warranty. Availability Notice: Certain WhisperKOOL 9000 and 12000 110V condenser configurations have been phased out or transitioned. Confirm the current condenser version, voltage, and replacement-part support before ordering. Product Overview The WhisperKOOL Quantum SS12000 Ducted Split Wine Cellar Cooling System is engineered for larger wine cellars and demanding cooling environments. It separates the air handler from the condenser, allowing the noisy and heat-producing components to be placed away from the cellar while conditioned air is delivered through ductwork. This makes the Quantum SS12000 a strong choice for luxury homes, collector-grade wine cellars, hospitality spaces, and custom-built wine rooms where appearance, noise reduction, and cooling capacity all matter. The fully ducted design keeps the cooling equipment out of view and gives builders, designers, and HVAC-R professionals more flexibility during planning. The system includes interchangeable airflow panels, a condensate pump, electro-fin-coated coils, and standard or optional 24V thermostat control configurations. The condensing unit can be installed outdoors when the project allows proper placement, protection, and service access. Quick Answer Summary Product Type Ducted split wine cellar cooling system Series WhisperKOOL Quantum Series Model Quantum SS12000 Estimated Cellar Capacity Approx. 4,000 cu. ft. when the cellar is fully insulated, sealed, and built with a proper vapor barrier BTU/h Range 12,530–13,844 BTU/h Evaporator Dimensions 29.5” L x 30.9” W x 19.8” H Condenser Dimensions 24” L x 19.4” W x 16.1” H Drain Line 3/4” ID CPVC Control Options KDT Digital Touch Display or optional 24V thermostat conversion kit Warranty Limited 2-year product warranty for WhisperKOOL split systems Installation Requirement Qualified HVAC-R technician required Recommended For Large wine cellars up to approximately 4,000 cubic feet Serious collectors storing wine for long-term aging Luxury residential wine rooms Custom-built cellars requiring hidden equipment Restaurant, hospitality, and commercial wine storage projects Projects with professional HVAC-R installation support Cellars where reduced noise inside the wine room is important Not Recommended For Small wine closets or compact wine rooms Freestanding wine fridge applications DIY installations Projects without proper insulation or vapor barrier Spaces without room for ducting, drain routing, and condenser placement Buyers who need a plug-and-play cooling solution Free Wine Cellar Design Assistance Wine Coolers Empire can help review cellar size, insulation, vapor barrier, ducting path, condenser placement, voltage requirements, and installation fit before purchase. Request Free Design Help View Ducted Split Systems Who This System Is Designed For Serious Collecting Enthusiasts The Quantum SS12000 is ideal for collectors who need reliable long-term wine storage conditions in a large cellar. Its high-capacity cooling range helps support stable temperatures when the cellar is properly constructed. Luxury Home Designers The fully ducted split design allows equipment to remain hidden, helping preserve the appearance of premium wine rooms, glass-front displays, and custom residential cellars. Custom Builder Specialists Builders can integrate the SS12000 into larger wine cellar projects where ductwork, drainage, condenser placement, insulation, and vapor barrier details are planned during construction. Restaurant & Hospitality Professionals Hospitality venues can use this system for larger wine storage spaces where stable cooling, service access, and reduced noise near guests are important. HVAC Installation Experts The SS12000 is a professional split refrigeration system that requires proper line-set installation, refrigerant charging, drainage, ducting, and startup by a qualified HVAC-R technician. Tech-Forward Wine Hobbyists Buyers who want smart thermostat compatibility may choose the optional 24V thermostat conversion kit, which allows use of compatible third-party thermostat technology. Key Features KDT Digital Touch Display The KDT Digital Touch Display can be placed up to 50 feet from the unit and includes Advanced System Protection with alarm notifications when certain conditions are not met. Wine Bottle Probe The WhisperKOOL bottle probe measures the liquid temperature of wine bottles rather than only the air temperature. This provides a more accurate view of actual wine storage conditions. Low-Noise Fully Ducted Operation The fully ducted layout keeps the unit out of the visible wine cellar and helps reduce operating noise inside the storage or display area. Remote Condenser Placement The condenser can be placed away from the wine cellar, including outdoors when properly installed, helping remove heat and noise from the cellar environment. Electro-Fin-Coated Coils Electro-fin-coated coils help resist corrosion and outgassing, supporting long-term performance in more demanding environments. Interchangeable Airflow Panels Interchangeable airflow panels provide installation flexibility and help HVAC-R professionals adapt the unit to project-specific ducting requirements. Advantages and Limitations Advantages Limitations High cooling capacity for large wine cellars Requires professional HVAC-R installation Fully ducted design keeps equipment hidden Not suitable for plug-and-play or DIY applications Remote condenser placement helps reduce cellar noise Requires proper ducting, drain routing, and service access Bottle probe helps monitor actual wine temperature Performance depends heavily on cellar construction quality Optional 24V thermostat conversion kit available Third-party smart thermostats are not supplied or supported by WhisperKOOL BTU/h and Cellar Sizing Guidance The WhisperKOOL Quantum SS12000 has an estimated cooling range of 12,530–13,844 BTU/h. This range is useful for planning, but it should not be treated as a guarantee that the system is correct for every 4,000 cubic foot cellar. Wine cellar cooling performance depends on more than cubic footage. Glass walls, poor insulation, high ceilings, stone, concrete, warm surrounding areas, air leaks, and missing vapor barriers can all increase the cooling load. Expert Sizing Recommendation: Do not size this system by cubic footage alone. For large or luxury cellars, request a professional wine cellar cooling review before ordering. An undersized system may run continuously, struggle to reach the desired temperature, and fail prematurely. For more planning information, review our guide to wine cellar insulation and our guide to ideal wine cellar temperature. Installation Requirements The Quantum SS12000 is a professional-grade split refrigeration system. It should be planned before final cellar construction whenever possible so the installer can account for ducting, refrigerant line sets, drainage, electrical needs, service access, and condenser placement. Requirement Why It Matters Qualified HVAC-R Technician Required for proper installation, charging, startup, and warranty protection. Fully Insulated Cellar Insulation helps maintain stable storage conditions and reduces system strain. Proper Vapor Barrier A vapor barrier helps prevent moisture migration, condensation problems, and cooling inefficiency. Duct Planning Supply and return ductwork must be designed for proper airflow and low restriction. Drain Line The unit requires a 3/4” ID CPVC drain line for condensate management. Condenser Placement The condenser must be placed where it can reject heat properly and remain serviceable. Service Access Install the system where technicians can reach components for maintenance and repair.
