Chest Style Low Temperature Freezers 0°C To -40°C, 5 cu.ft., Manual Defrost Overview
The Chest Style Low Temperature Freezers 0°C To -40°C, 5 cu.ft., Manual Defrost (model LTF201C) from Yamato Scientific is a laboratory chest freezer delivering a 0°C to -40°C range across 142 L of usable storage. A microprocessor digital controller, audible and visual alarms, remote alarm contacts, alarm battery back-up, and a 1/2" access port all ship standard. Sold through LabSupplies.com, authorized dealer.
Chamber walls use 14-gauge zinc-coated galvanized steel, while the exterior is 16-gauge steel finished in powder-coated cool gray. A single-stage refrigeration system with one hermetic compressor runs on CFC- and HCFC-free refrigerant. An air-cooled condenser requires no liquid coolant. Dual digital displays show set temperature and actual chamber temperature at the same time.
Electrical configurations cover 115V, 208V, and 230V at 60 Hz single-phase, plus 220V at 50/60 Hz single-phase. Exterior dimensions measure 40.5" × 31" × 47", and shipping weight is 525 lbs. Built in the USA and UL Listed, every unit undergoes 7 days of full testing before it leaves the factory.
Key Features
- Digital dual-display control: a microprocessor controller drives two displays, one showing the set temperature and the other the actual chamber temperature.
- Battery-backed alarm system: audible and visual signals trigger on mechanical or electrical failure, with over- and under-temperature settings, an alarm silencing switch, and a battery test switch.
- Remote alarm relay: a built-in relay supports remote alarm hook-up for centralized lab monitoring.
- Refrigerant-free of CFC and HCFC: single-stage refrigeration with one hermetic compressor and an air-cooled condenser that needs no liquid coolant.
- Verified performance: each freezer is tested for 7 days under demanding conditions and holds its low setpoint in warm +30°C ambient environments.
- Rack-ready capacity: 142 L / 5 cu.ft. interior accepts up to 15 racks, with a 1/2" access port for probes or recorder leads.
How to Choose the Right Low-Temp Freezer
Selecting a chest low-temperature freezer comes down to matching chamber performance, storage volume, and site power to your sample-protection requirements. Use the criteria below to scope the right unit .
- Temperature range: confirm the unit reaches your coldest required setpoint; the LTF201C operates from 0°C down to -40°C.
- Capacity: match interior volume and rack count to throughput, since this model offers 142 L / 5 cu.ft. and holds up to 15 racks.
- Control type: digital microprocessor control with separate set and actual temperature displays improves repeatability over single-display analog units.
- Voltage: verify your circuit, as configurations span 115V, 208V, and 230V at 60 Hz plus 220V at 50/60 Hz, single-phase.
- Footprint: measure available floor space against the 40.5" × 31" × 47" exterior and a 525 lb shipping weight.
- Safety and monitoring: prioritize battery-backed audible/visual alarms and a remote relay when samples cannot tolerate excursions.
