Professional medical-grade refrigerators aredesigned with the unique needs of thehealthcare environment in mind. Onlyprofessional medical-grade refrigeratorsdeliver optimized control in three importantareas: to ensure that samples, blood therapies andmedications/vaccines are stored safely. to provide a more comfortable environmentfor patients and a more productive workplacefor staff. to meet changing regulations, improveresource management, and reduce operatingcosts.

Powering the first professional medical-grade refrigerators:

Variable Capacity Compressor System

OptiCool™ cooling system technology pairs a variable capacity compressor (VCC)and naturally occurring hydrocarbon (HC) refrigerants to

The OptiCool™ cooling system uses intelligent sensors to monitor operating conditions. Fixed capacitycompressors (FCC) cycle off and on to maintain the temperature inside the cabinet. Rather than cyclingoff, VCCs run at alower or higher speed depending on the operating conditions, a much more efficientway to maintain temperature. When the door of the unit is opened, the VCC runs at a higher speed todeliver optimal temperature performance. When the temperature stabliizes, the VCC runs at a lowerspeed.

Natural Hydrocarbon Refrigerants

P A G E 0 7

Refrigerants and foaming agents are compliantwith the United States EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) SNAP program todecrease Global Warming Potential.

The Opticool™ cooling system uses R600a, a naturally occurring refrigerant that is EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) and Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) compliant. This natural refrigerant is environmentally friendly, having no impact on ozone depletion and a very lowGlobal Warming Potential (GWP) grade. HCs improve energy efficiency and system performance.

Compared to traditional refrigerationtechnology, energy consumption is reducedby up to 50% Lifetime reduction in energy costs up to$1,300 per unit. Heat output is reduced by 30% to 55%,depending on run conditions, compared totraditional refrigeration technology. Lower long-term service costs: up to 45% lessrefrigerant is needed, reducing cost should itbe necessary to recharge the system.
