VWR VWR-HC-ERP-20 76579-140 Standard Series Hazardous Location (Explosion Proof) Laboratory Refrigerator, 20 cu. ft., Conduit Hardwire Power Setup, Automated Cycle Defrost

The VWR Standard Series Hazardous Location (Explosion Proof) Laboratory Refrigerator (Catalog No: 76579-140 / Model: VWR-HC-ERP-20), supplied by VWR International, is a high-capacity 20 cubic foot (566 L) cold storage unit engineered specifically for safety in environments where volatile or explosive conditions could potentially exist. Built with non-sparking internal components and ATEX-rated electrical architecture, this unit complies strictly with NFPA and OSHA guidelines for Class 1, Division II, Group C and D hazardous locations.

Temperature regulation is managed by a Microprocessor Temperature Controller, maintaining a consistent operating range of 1°C to 10°C paired with an automated cycle defrost system. The cabinet features a single right-hinged solid swing door with high-density urethane foam insulation, a heavy-duty handle, a magnetic door gasket for a positive seal, and an integrated keyed door lock for physical inventory security.

Designed for robust laboratory use, the cabinet is constructed with a textured white powder-coated exterior and interior, supported by heavy-duty leveling legs for stable installation. The system operates using environmentally friendly R600a natural hydrocarbon refrigerant. For absolute safety in hazardous environments, the unit is intentionally not equipped with a standard line cord/plug and must be hardwired via electrical conduit to a 120 VAC power source.

Features:

• Hazardous Location Safety Certification: Engineered with ATEX-rated and non-sparking components to comply with NFPA and OSHA standards for Class 1, Division II, Group C & D environments.
• Microprocessor Temperature Control: Equipped with a microprocessor controller maintaining an adjustable temperature operating range of 1°C to 10°C.
• Solid Swing Door Security: Features 1 solid swing door (right-hinged, non-reversible) with a magnetic gasket, heavy-duty handle, and key lock for inventory protection.
• Spacious Storage Space: Includes 5 adjustable shelves within a generous 20 cu. ft. (566 L) interior, backed by high-density urethane foam cabinet and door insulation.
• Conduit Hardwire Power Setup: Not equipped with a standard plug; designed to be directly hardwired via conduit to a 120 VAC source for spark prevention.
• Eco-Friendly R600a Refrigerant: Powered by natural R600a hydrocarbon refrigerant for zero ozone depletion and high operational energy efficiency.
• Automated Cycle Defrost: Features a cycle defrost system to prevent frost accumulation while maintaining internal thermal stability.
• Quality Assurance: ETL listed design backed by a 2-year manufacturer parts and labor warranty.
