    Extreme Series LIQUID MEASURING THERMOSTAT SYSTEM BOTTLE PROBE WhisperKOOL cooling units come with a liquid-temperature-measuring thermostat. The self-calibrating probe con- tains a sensor chip, which communicates back and forth with the thermostat. This results in a consistent temperature setting and accuracy. Wine should be kept at a very precise, controlled temperature and humidity. By measuring the liquid temperature rather than air, the unit will operate 75–80% of the time.
