WhisperKOOL spec sheets and owner's manuals use words that can confuse first-time owners: BTU/h, sensible capacity, TXV, subcooling, Fdc. This free printable puts the essentials on two pages you can keep next to your unit or hand to your contractor.
What's inside the pocket glossary
- Page 1, the pocket glossary: 40 plain-English definitions grouped into cooling basics, system types, parts, refrigerant and installation, controls, and electrical and cellar construction.
- Page 2, more terms: 18 additional definitions, for 58 terms in total.
- Spec-sheet decoder: a real SC PRO series spec sheet annotated line by line, from BTU/h to running amps.
- Numbers to know: the 55°F setpoint, 50–70% humidity, R-13/19/30 insulation targets, intake limits, duct and line-set distances, and split-system startup targets.
Where the information comes from
Every definition and number comes from WhisperKOOL owner's manuals, product sheets and whisperkool.com, or from U.S. government sources (Energy Information Administration, Department of Energy and National Weather Service) for general science terms.
