VWR VWR-HC-FRP-20 Standard Series Flammable Storage Laboratory Refrigerator, Enhanced Monitoring Tools, Swing Door, 20 cu. ft., Eco-Friendly R600a Refrigerant

The VWR Standard Series Flammable Storage Laboratory Refrigerator (VWR-HC-FRP-20) provides safe, economical, and purpose-built cold storage for laboratories handling volatile samples, solvents, and flammable materials in sealed containers. Engineered with a generous 20 cubic foot (566 L) capacity, this specialized upright refrigerator integrates advanced safety engineering with dependable temperature control, delivering ultimate peace of mind and strict compliance in busy research, clinical, and industrial workspaces.

To eliminate the risk of accidental ignition, this unit is built with ATEX-rated and non-sparking electrical components, completely isolating potential spark hazards from the internal storage chamber. The exterior features a durable white textured cabinet and a single right-hinged, self-closing solid swing door. Insulated with high-density urethane foam, the door seals tightly with a positive magnetic gasket to maximize thermal efficiency and isolate samples from ambient warmth and external light. A physical keyed door lock is integrated directly into the door to secure volatile reagents and restrict access to authorized personnel.

The interior is optimized for easy organization, containing five heavy-duty adjustable wire shelves and a 3/8" probe access port for connecting independent data loggers. The cabinet is supported by heavy-duty leveling legs to ensure stable installation on uneven laboratory flooring.

Operational parameters are managed via a precise microprocessor temperature controller operating within a 1°C to 10°C range. The external digital temperature display provides a 0.1° resolution based on a sample-simulated product probe, with selectable readings in either Celsius or Fahrenheit. The comprehensive alarm module includes battery backup to maintain monitoring functionality during power disruptions, alongside audible and visual alerts for high/low temperature shifts, sensor errors, and power failures. Additional management features include remote alarm contacts, alarm validation, an alarm mute with a ring-back function, and a resettable 1-point Min/Max temperature history.

This environmentally conscious unit runs on natural R600a hydrocarbon refrigerant to support energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact, while meeting strict NFPA 45 and 70 safety guidelines.
