VWR VWR-HC-FRP-30-TS Touchscreen Flammable Storage Laboratory Refrigerator, Swing Door, 30 cu. ft., Advanced Touchscreen Interface, Integrated Data Charting and Logging

The VWR Touchscreen Flammable Storage Laboratory Refrigerator (VWR-HC-FRP-30-TS) provides a cutting-edge, highly secure cold storage solution for volatile materials, solvents, and flammable chemical substances in laboratory and industrial settings. Engineered with an expansive 30 cubic foot (850 L) capacity, this advanced upright refrigerator integrates state-of-the-art monitoring technology with purpose-built spark-free safety systems. It fully complies with strict NFPA 99 and 45 standards for storing flammable liquids in sealed containers, delivering the ultimate level of compliance, data traceability, and peace of mind in high-demand workflows.

Distinguished by its advanced user interface, this model features an intuitive touchscreen digital display that offers a real-time operational display clock, an active temperature scale bar display, and a resettable 1-point Min/Max history. The touchscreen control module provides advanced digital 24-hour temperature charting alongside extensive built-in temperature data logging capabilities, allowing facilities to track compliance data effortlessly without external logging hardware.

The physical build includes a durable white powder-coated steel exterior and a single right-hinged solid swing door equipped with a heavy-duty stainless steel handle and a positive magnetic gasket. The cabinet and door are insulated using EPA-compliant, high-density urethane foam to protect internal temperatures from ambient shifts. To control access to sensitive reagents, a physical keyed door lock is integrated directly into the front panel. Inside, five adjustable wire shelves provide flexible configuration options to optimize storage organization. The unit is stabilized via heavy-duty leveling legs and includes a 3/4" probe access port on the rear wall for secondary validation systems.

Thermal performance is driven by a precision microprocessor controller paired with a variable frequency hermetic compressor. Operating within a 2°C to 10°C range, the forced-draft internal circulation system guarantees tight cabinet air uniformity of +/- 1.6°C and stability of +/- 1.0°C, while preventing sample freezing. The automated off-cycle defrost system runs efficiently without adding heat to the chamber. Temperature metrics are gathered via a product simulator bottle filled with glass bead media to accurately reflect actual sample conditions.

The specialized safety module features a comprehensive array of customizable alerts, including high/low temperature, sensor error, power failure, door ajar, and low battery alarms. Backed by an integrated battery backup, the system maintains continuous alarm and display tracking during power loss. Users can customize alarm volume, establish alarm validation time frames, utilize alarm mute with a ring-back function, and configure custom alarm time delay settings. Built-in remote alarm contacts allow for easy integration into building management networks. Running on natural R600a isobutane refrigerant, this EPA SNAP-compliant unit consumes less than 1.7 KWh/day.
