With variable-speed fans in the evaporator unit, CellarPro’s Mini Split 3000S offers additional BTUH at the medium and high fan speeds, when hot conditions require extra cooling power.
Test Conditions:
- CellarPro decibel measurements were recorded three feet from the wine cooling unit.
- CellarPro’s Mini Split 3000S offers three variable-speed settings – Low, Medium and High – to meet variable cooling needs and ambient conditions. Decibel measurements were recorded at all three fan settings and displayed in the above chart.
- WhisperKool’s decibel measurements were derived from www.whisperkool.com.
