Lab Freezer / Refrigerator Combi 4°C(R), -20°C(F), Auto Defrost, 9.1 cu.ft. (R) 9.1 cu.ft. (F) Overview
The Lab Freezer / Refrigerator Combi 4°C(R), -20°C(F), Auto Defrost, 9.1 cu.ft. (R) 9.1 cu.ft. (F) (model RFC501) is a Yamato Scientific laboratory combination unit pairing a 9.1 cu.ft. refrigerator with a 9.1 cu.ft. freezer in one upright cabinet. Each chamber runs independently, holding 2°C to 8°C on the refrigerator side and 0°C to -25°C on the freezer side.
Key Features
- Independent alarms: hi/low temperature alarms with audible and visual warning plus dry alarm-relay contacts for remote monitoring.
- Automatic defrost: both refrigerator and freezer chambers defrost automatically.
- Secured storage: two solid locking doors and two epoxy-coated shelves per compartment.
- Dedicated cooling: separate 1/4 hp refrigerator and 1/3 hp freezer compressors with fin-and-tube evaporator and polyurethane insulation.
- Lab-ready build: UL listed cabinet on four locking legs, with optional chart recorder and seismic restraints.
How to Choose the Right Lab Fridge/Freezer Combo
- Capacity: confirm each chamber holds your inventory; RFC501 offers 9.1 cu.ft. refrigerated and 9.1 cu.ft. frozen.
- Temperature range: verify the refrigerator (2°C to 8°C) and freezer (0°C to -25°C) zones cover your sample and reagent requirements.
- Voltage and power: check circuit availability; this unit needs 115V, 60 Hz with a NEMA 5-15 outlet for each chamber.
- Footprint and access: measure your space against the 81.5-inch cabinet height and plan for door clearance and locking-caster movement.
