chest1-doorair-cooled

Eppendorf Ultra-Low Temperature (ULT) chest freezers (-80°C) combine high storage capacity with energy saving. As the freezer is accessed from the top, the cold air is kept in the freezer. Based on this, the samples are even safer than in a conventional upright freezer. Eppendorf ULT chest freezers are known for their energy efficiency, reliability, and worry-free, long-term sample preservation. Which chest ULT freezer is available from Eppendorf? • CryoCube FC660: 130 mm wall (polyurethane insulation), "classic" cooling liquids, and air-cooling • CryoCube FC660h: 130 mm wall (polyurethane insulation and vacuum insulation panels), "green" cooling liquids (R290/ R170) for 230 V, and air-cooling Additional insulated panels cover the inner chamber and increase energy saving. Each ULT freezer of these chest model is delivered with its own serial-number specific certificate. You can store up to 52,000 vessels in a lab freezer like a CryoCube FC660 series. Pro's and Con's of chest ULT freezers Why should I decide for a chest freezer? Energywise, chest freezers are the most economical type of lab freezers. As they have sidewall insulation and are opened from the top, chest freezers maintain their cold temperatures very well. Opening from the top reduces energy consumption per volume especially when opening and closing the outer door of the unit on a regular basis. Less energy is lost when opening the outer door of a chest freezer than of an upright freezer as no cold can literally fall out of the freezer.
