What Is An Ultra-Low Temperature Freezer?

Ultra-Low Temperature Freezers

An ultra-low temperature freezer is a type of ultra-cold laboratory freezer that operates at very low temperatures. The ultra-low temperature freezers available from Froilabo have a temperature range of –45°C to -86°C and can be used for the storage of drugs, enzymes, chemicals, bacteria and other samples.

Ultra-low temperature (ULT) Freezers are available in various designs and sizes depending on how much storage is needed. There are generally two versions, upright or chest freezers. An upright ULT freezer gives easy access for frequent use and a chest ultra-low temperature freezer allows for long-term storage of less frequently used items. The most common type is the upright freezer as laboratories are frequently looking to save space and make layouts more accessible.

Ultra-Low Temperature Freezer Storage Volume

Ultra-Low Temperature Freezer internal storage.

An ultra-low temperature freezer’s internal storage volume can generally start from an internal capacity of 200 litres up to a maximum capacity of 800 litres. It typically has shelves on the inside where research samples are placed and each shelf is closed by an internal door in order to maintain the temperature as uniform as possible.

How Do Ultra-Low Temperature Freezers Work?

Ultra-Cold Freezer for safe storage sample.

An ultra-low temperature freezer can be a single high-power compressor hermetically sealed or two cascade compressors. The two cascade solution, is two refrigeration circuits connected so that the evaporator of one cools the condenser of the other, facilitating the condensation of the compressed gas in the first circuit.

Air-cooled condensers are generally used in laboratory ULT freezer systems. They consist of tubular batteries (copper or copper-aluminium) arranged to provide as much surface heat transfer as possible. The circulation of the cooling air is forced by an engine driven fan and the expansion of the refrigerant fluids is obtained by capillary tubes.

Evaporation takes place through steel plate heat exchangers, located inside the chamber, or by a coil. The coil in the cabinet eliminates the efficiency issue in the heat exchange of freezers with the coil in the insulation cavity.
