VWR VWR-HC-FRFC10 Plus Series Flammable Storage Laboratory Refrigerator Freezer Combo Unit, 10 cu. ft.

VWR VWR-HC-FRFC10 Plus Series Flammable Storage Laboratory Refrigerator Freezer Combo Unit, 10 cu. ft., Optimized Defrost Systems, Dual Chamber Configuration

The VWR Plus Series Flammable Storage Laboratory Refrigerator and Freezer Combination Unit (Catalog No: 76580-168 / Model: VWR-HC-FRFC10), supplied by VWR International, is a specialized dual-temperature cold storage solution engineered for the safe storage of volatile and flammable substances in scientific, clinical, and industrial laboratory settings. Designed to comply strictly with NFPA 30, NFPA 45, and NFPA 70 guidelines, this unit utilizes ATEX-rated and non-sparking interior components to provide an intrinsically safe environment for storing flammable materials in sealed containers within unclassified laboratory locations.

This dual-compartment system offers a total storage capacity of 10 cu. ft. (283 L / 5 cu. ft. Refrigerator and 4 cu. ft. Freezer). Thermal management and monitoring are controlled independently for both compartments using individual Microprocessor Temperature Controllers paired with Digital Temperature Displays. The refrigerator section maintains an adjustable operating temperature range of 1°C to 10°C with automated cycle defrosting, while the freezer compartment operates between -15°C and -25°C with manual defrost to eliminate thermal spikes.

Safety and sample integrity are monitored via dual sensing probes (1 air probe and 1 sample bottle probe) in both the refrigerator and freezer, backed by audible and visual high/low temperature alarms and remote alarm contacts.

The cabinet features two independent right-hinged solid swing doors (non-reversible) equipped with recessed handles, magnetic gaskets for a positive seal, and individual keyed door locks. Interior organization includes three adjustable shelves in the refrigerator chamber and two fixed shelves with three removable storage baskets in the freezer compartment. Built with a durable white powder-coated exterior, the unit includes two 3/8" probe access ports (one for each chamber), leveling legs, and a stacking kit. Operating on eco-friendly, HFC-free R600a natural hydrocarbon refrigerant, this energy-efficient combo unit is UL/C-UL listed and backed by a 2-year parts and labor warranty.
