Description
ABS ABT-HC-EFP-20 Hazardous Location Freezer
The ABS ABT-HC-EFP-20 Hazardous Location Freezer meets NFPA and OSHA guidelines for Hazardous Location, Class 1, Division II, Groups C & D guidelines. These units are engineered for use in environments where volatile / explosive conditions could potentially exist. For storage of flammable or volatile materials within typical laboratory or non-volatile environments, see Flammable Material Storage units.
Utilizes ATEX and non-sparking components for safety. Models feature a microprocessor temperature controller, allowing for precise temperature control, recovery and maintenance versus mechanical style thermostats.
Models utilize environmentally friendly, natural hydrocarbon (HC) refrigerants (not containing hydrofluorocarbons) which vastly reduce global-warming potential (GWP) while meeting new EPA/SNAP mandates and UL, ASHRAE compliance guidelines.
Please Note: Not equipped with plug; must be hardwired in conduit. Periodic Manual Defrosting is required.

Product FAQ
What does the hazardous location certification mean for this laboratory freezer?
This unit is specifically engineered and safety-compliant for installation in hazardous locations, featuring explosion-proof or spark-free internal and external construction designed to prevent the ignition of hazardous ambient gases, volatile vapors, and explosive materials across its 20 cu. ft. capacity.
What advanced temperature monitoring and control features are included?
The unit features a microprocessor temperature controller, digital display, and a comprehensive alarm suite with audible and visual high/low-temperature alerts, door ajar warnings, and remote alarm contacts. It utilizes eco-friendly hydrocarbon (HC) refrigerants for optimized energy efficiency and compliance with environmental standards.
What is the warranty coverage?
It is backed by a standard parts and labor warranty, along with extended compressor coverage for long-term clinical, research, and laboratory reliability.
Shipping FAQ
How is this hazardous location laboratory freezer shipped?
Due to the heavy commercial weight, specialized safety construction, and sensitive internal refrigeration systems, this upright unit is shipped via specialized LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight, securely palletized to safeguard it against transit damage.
Do I need liftgate service?
Yes, liftgate service is mandatory unless your facility features a professional commercial loading dock capable of receiving a transport vehicle, ensuring the unit is lowered safely to ground level.
What should I inspect upon arrival?
Before signing the delivery receipt, you must thoroughly inspect the outer packaging, solid door construction, handles, and exterior panels for any indication of transit-related impact.
What are the post-delivery setup steps?
Allow the freezer to sit completely upright in its final installation location for at least 24 hours prior to powering it on, letting all internal compressor fluids properly settle.
