VWR VWR-HC-PL-23 Premium Series Laboratory Glass Door Refrigerator Variable Speed Compressor, PID Microprocessor Controller and LCD Display ENERGY STAR, 23 cu. ft.
The VWR Premium Series Laboratory Glass Door Refrigerator (Catalog No: 76919-378 / Model: VWR-HC-PL-23), supplied by VWR International, is an ENERGY STAR® certified 23 cubic foot (651 L) high-performance vertical cold storage solution designed for temperature-sensitive scientific, biological, and clinical laboratory materials. Powered by a hermetic Variable Speed Compressor (VSC) operating across a 1300 to 4000 rpm range, this unit automatically self-adjusts to thermal demands to maximize energy efficiency, accelerate pull-down time (55 minutes to nominal temperature), and deliver ultra-quiet operational performance (35 dBA or less).
System temperature is regulated by a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) microprocessor controller paired with an LCD display, offering precise thermal management between 1°C and 10°C (factory default set point 4°C). The Forced Air circulation system, combined with zero-energy cycle defrosting, achieves outstanding thermal stability of ±0.6°C, thermal uniformity of ±0.6°C, and a maximum cabinet temperature variation of ±0.9°C. System monitoring is supported by a 24V high-capacity battery backup that maintains active temperature monitoring, data acquisition, and alarm logging (last 100 entries) during power outages. Communication and data management are facilitated via an RS-485 (MODBUS) connection and an integrated USB port for event logging export and firmware updates.
The interior cabinet features full-coverage, balanced-spectrum shielded LED lighting, five adjustable steel shelves with rear guard rails, optional pull-out drawer capability, and a rear-wall 3/4" probe access port for external sensors. Thermal monitoring is driven by dual probes housed in a thermal media bottle filled with glass beads.
Constructed with a heavy-duty white powder-coated steel exterior and high-density EPA-compliant foamed-in-place urethane insulation, the unit features a single right-hinged glass swing door with a key lock for security. Mounted on four preinstalled swivel casters (front locking casters), the unit utilizes eco-friendly EPA SNAP-compliant R600a natural hydrocarbon refrigerant. Certified to UL471 standards, ETL listed, and ENERGY STAR certified, this refrigerator is backed by a 2-year parts and labor warranty and a 7-year compressor warranty.
Features:
- Variable Speed Compressor (VSC) Technology: Hermetic VSC self-adjusts speed (1300–4000 rpm) to dynamic thermal loads, delivering maximum energy savings, extended service life, and 55-minute pull-down times.
- ENERGY STAR® Certified Efficiency: Consumes just 1.15 kWh/day with low heat rejection (320 BTU/hr), exceeding stringent ENERGY STAR energy conservation criteria.
- Ultra-Quiet Operation: Engineered for noise-sensitive laboratory environments with an operational sound pressure level of 35 dBA or less.
- Superior Thermal Uniformity & Stability: Patent-pending forced air circulation achieves ±0.6°C cabinet air uniformity and ±0.6°C stability.
- PID Microprocessor Controller & LCD Display: Advanced PID control system with clear LCD interface, switchable temperature scales, and 0.1°C resolution across a 1°C to 10°C range.
- Battery Backup & Comprehensive Alarms: 24V high-capacity battery backup maintains controller, data logging, and alarm functions (power failure, temp sensor failure, battery monitor, high/low temp, door ajar) for up to 100 logged events.
- Data Transfer & Digital Connectivity: RS-485 (MODBUS) interface and USB port allow easy temperature data download and system updates.
- Illuminated Glass Door Cabinet: Single right-hinged swing glass door with key lock, full-coverage shielded LED lighting, 5 adjustable guard-railed shelves, and rear 3/4" probe access port.
- Eco-Friendly R600a Refrigerant: EPA SNAP-compliant R600a hydrocarbon refrigerant with zero-energy cycle defrost and high-density urethane foam insulation.
- Mobile Design & Comprehensive Warranty: Equipped with 4 preinstalled swivel casters (front locking), supported by a 2-year parts and labor warranty plus a 7-year compressor warranty.
