OverviewThe MDF-DU503VHE-PE VIP SMART ultra-low temperature freezer (PHCbi) combines energy-efficient sample storage with advanced access control and tight temperature performance. Nominal internal volume: 528 litres (other page content also references 729 litres). Operating temperature range: −86 °C to −40 °C. Natural hydrocarbon refrigerants and inverter-driven compressors improve efficiency while maintaining cooling performance, ambient tolerance and recovery after door openings.
Energy-saving performanceDesigned to reduce operating costs for ultra-low temperature storage, the MDF-DU503VHE-PE delivers low energy consumption while preserving reliable performance. Typical consumption figures:
- 5.4 kWh/day at −80 °C
- 4.4 kWh/day at −70 °C
Smart performanceInverter-driven compressors with SMART control ensure excellent temperature uniformity. Under steady-state conditions, compressors operate at lower speeds while proprietary control algorithms keep temperature variation tightly controlled across the cabinet.
Security control and monitoringManage and monitor access to samples, identify users and log access times. Monitor door-open duration. Four locking methods are available to match laboratory policies:
- Facial recognition (optional)
- Keypad
- Proximity card / NFC (optional)
- Key
Electric lock and authenticationPassword protection plus optional facial recognition and NFC authentication can be combined with an electric lock to strengthen access control.
Intuitive touchscreen monitoringAn eye-level, door-mounted 10.1-inch high-resolution LCD touchscreen provides direct access to controls and performance data. Internal temperature logs and performance metrics can be displayed graphically. A USB port enables export of logged data to a PC.
Natural refrigerantsUses hydrocarbon (HC) refrigerants with low environmental impact. Combined with inverter technology, these refrigerants improve energy efficiency without compromising cooling performance or recovery speed after door openings.
