VWR WWR-HC-30R Standard Laboratory Refrigerator Solid Door with Natural Refrigerants, 30 cu. ft., Microprocessor and Variable Speed Control, Comprehensive Alarm Safeguards
The VWR Standard Laboratory Refrigerator with Natural Refrigerants (Catalog No: 78177-922 / Model: VWR-HC-30R), supplied by VWR International, is a high-performance 30 cubic foot (850 L) scientific cold storage cabinet engineered for reliable and eco-conscious performance in scientific, clinical, and analytical laboratory environments. Featuring a single right-hinged solid swing door with a premium stainless steel door handle and magnetic door gasket, this unit provides maximum thermal protection and sample security in a spacious freestanding footprint.
Driven by a Microprocessor Temperature Controller with variable frequency compressor control, the unit maintains tight temperature uniformity (+/- 1.6°C) and stability (+/- 1.0°C) across an adjustable operating temperature range of 2°C to 10°C (with minimum temperature limited to prevent accidental sample freezing). The refrigeration system features a hermetic variable-speed compressor, static exterior wall condenser, fin-and-tube evaporator with a high-efficiency fan, and forced draft air circulation, coupled with an energy-efficient off-cycle defrost mechanism. System integrity is safeguarded by audible and visual high/low-temperature alarms, a door ajar alarm, and remote alarm contacts.
Interior organization includes five heavy-duty adjustable shelves and a 3/4" rear probe access port equipped with a buffered product simulator bottle with glass bead media. Built with a durable white powder-coated steel interior and exterior insulated with EPA-compliant high-density urethane foam, the cabinet includes leveling legs and a keyed door lock for access control. Utilizing eco-friendly, EPA SNAP-compliant R600a Isobutane natural hydrocarbon refrigerant, this energy-efficient unit consumes under 1.5 kWh/day and is UL and cUL listed.
Features:
- Microprocessor & Variable Speed Control: Features a microprocessor controller with variable frequency compressor control for tight temperature uniformity (+/- 1.6°C) and rapid pulldown (< 35 min empty).
- Eco-Friendly R600a Hydrocarbon Refrigerant: Operates on EPA SNAP-compliant R600a Isobutane refrigerant for zero ozone depletion, reduced environmental impact, and low energy consumption (< 1.5 kWh/day).
- Comprehensive Alarm Safeguards: Equipped with audible and visual high/low temperature alarms, door ajar alerts, and remote alarm contacts for central monitoring.
- Forced Draft Air Circulation & Off-Cycle Defrost: Delivers consistent temperature distribution across 2°C to 10°C using forced air draft cooling paired with an automated off-cycle defrost system (no heat added).
- Spacious Interior & Flexible Storage: Provides 30 cubic feet (850 L) of storage capacity with 5 adjustable shelves and a 3/4" rear probe access port.
- Solid Door & Access Security: Includes 1 solid right-hinged swing door with a stainless steel handle, magnetic gasket, and keyed lock for sample security.
- Buffered Temperature Sensing: Equipped with a product simulator probe bottle containing glass bead media for accurate sample temperature simulation.
- Safety & Warranty Compliance: UL/cUL listed design backed by a 2-year parts and labor warranty plus a 5-year compressor parts warranty.
