VWR HCRFC1040 Plus Series Refrigerator Freezer Combo Unit Dual Microprocessor Keyed Lock (-40°C Freezer), 5.2 cu. ft.

VWR HCRFC1040 Plus Series Refrigerator Freezer Combo Unit Dual Microprocessor Keyed Lock (-40°C Freezer), Optimized Defrost Systems, 5.2 cu. ft. Refrigerator - 4 cu. ft. Freezer

The VWR Plus Series Freestanding Refrigerator Freezer Combination Unit (Catalog No: 76488-182 / Model: HCRFC1040), supplied by VWR International, is an ultra-low dual-temperature cold storage solution engineered for laboratory environments requiring rigorous sub-zero (-40°C) frozen preservation paired with standard refrigerated storage. Combining a 5.2 cubic foot (147 L) refrigerator compartment with a 4.0 cubic foot (113 L) low-temperature freezer compartment, this freestanding unit provides dual microprocessor reliability, comprehensive security, and high energy efficiency.

Designed for demanding research, clinical, and industrial applications, the unit features a dual-door setup consisting of two solid swing doors with recessed handles, magnetic gaskets for positive sealing, and independent keyed door locks to secure valuable inventory. The durable white powder-coated exterior is insulated with high-density urethane foam and equipped with leveling legs and a stacking kit setup for maximum structural stability.

Temperature management is driven by independent microprocessor controllers with exterior digital displays for both compartments. The upper refrigerator compartment operates within a 2°C to 8°C range utilizing forced draft air circulation and an automated cycle defrost mechanism. The lower freezer compartment maintains ultra-stable low temperatures between -37°C and -43°C (-40°C nominal) with a manual defrost design to prevent sample damage caused by defrost thermal cycles. Both compartments feature comprehensive monitoring with audible/visual high and low temperature alarms, dual sensing probes (air probe and sample bottle probe), remote alarm contacts, and a 3/8" probe access port.

Interior storage includes three adjustable shelves in the refrigerator compartment and three adjustable shelves plus a bottom footed shelf in the freezer compartment to ensure proper airflow. Interior LED lighting illuminates the refrigerator section for easy visual access. Powered by eco-friendly hydrocarbon refrigerants (HFC-free R600a for the refrigerator and natural R290 for the freezer), this system minimizes power consumption while adhering to strict environmental standards.

Features:

• Ultra-Low Dual Storage: Combines a 5.2 cu. ft. refrigerator (2°C to 8°C) and an ultra-low 4.0 cu. ft. freezer (-37°C to -43°C) in a single compact freestanding footprint.
• Independent Microprocessor Controls: Features separate digital controllers and temperature displays for precise thermal regulation of each compartment.
• Comprehensive Dual-Probe Alarm System: Equipped with audible/visual high and low temperature alarms, dual probes (air and sample bottle), remote alarm contacts, and a 3/8" probe access port.
• Independent Keyed Door Locks: Both solid swing doors feature physical keyed locks for dual-compartment sample security.
• Optimized Defrost Systems: Automated cycle defrost for the refrigerator section and manual defrost for the -40°C freezer section to eliminate temperature fluctuations.
• Dual Hydrocarbon Refrigerant System: Utilizes HFC-free R600a for the refrigerator and natural R290 for the freezer to ensure low energy consumption and zero ozone depletion potential.
• Flexible Interior Organization: Features 3 adjustable shelves in the refrigerator compartment and 3 adjustable shelves with a bottom footed shelf in the freezer compartment.
• Safety & Compliance: UL and C-UL listed design backed by a 2-year parts and labor warranty plus a 3-year additional compressor parts warranty.
