VWR VWR-HC-ERP-04 Hazardous Location Undercounter Refrigerator Class 1 Div II, ATEX Spark-Free, 5 cu. ft.

VWR VWR-HC-ERP-04 Hazardous Location Undercounter Refrigerator Class 1 Div II, ATEX Spark-Free, Microprocessor Temperature Control, 5 cu. ft.

The VWR Hazardous Location Undercounter Refrigerator (Catalog No: 77441-864), supplied by VWR International, is a specialized 5 cubic foot (142 L) cold storage solution engineered specifically for environments where volatile, flammable, or explosive vapors and atmospheres may be present. Built with ATEX-certified non-sparking interior components and fully sealed electrical architectures, this unit strictly adheres to NFPA and OSHA guidelines for hazardous location storage, carrying Class 1, Division II, Groups A, B, C, and D safety compliance.

Temperature regulation is managed by an advanced microprocessor controller providing precise thermal accuracy, rapid pull-down, and consistent recovery performance within a operating range of 1°C to 10°C. Utilizing a cycle defrost mechanism, the unit prevents unwanted frost build-up while maintaining stable sample conditions. For optimal safety in high-risk laboratory environments, the unit is intentionally supplied without a standard electrical wall plug and requires direct hardwiring in conduit.

The interior offers an efficient compact layout equipped with three adjustable storage shelves for flexible sample organization, with optional storage baskets and spare shelves available separately. The cabinet is insulated with high-density foam and features a single solid swing door to provide maximum thermal efficiency and light isolation for sensitive reagents, chemicals, and samples.

Operating on eco-friendly, natural hydrocarbon refrigerant, this undercounter refrigerator delivers outstanding energy efficiency and lower environmental impact. ETL and cETL listed, the unit is designed for freestanding or undercounter installation (requiring 4 inches of ventilation clearance).
