Summit Vaccine Healthcare Refrigerator Description:
EQTemp by Accucold introduces a new series of affordable, specialty refrigeration solutions for healthcare facilities seeking specialized cold storage.
Summit ACR1321WNSF456 Vaccine Healthcare Refrigerator is an upright 12.71 cu.ft. all-refrigerator. It features a clean white exterior and a blue-accented control panel. The solid door is equipped with a self-closing mechanism to help protect stored items from being overexposed to room temperature. A factory-installed lock offers added security, and the hospital-grade cord with a ‘green dot’ plug ensures a secure connection for high-traffic areas.
The Summit ACR1321WNSF456 Vaccine Healthcare Refrigerator includes an external readout of the interior temperature, as well as the high/low temperature as required for data records. The buffered temperature probe is encased in a bottle filled with glass beads for improved accuracy and calibrated to NIST standards in our in-house ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified laboratory. The digital temperature controls allow you to set the interior between 2 and 8ºC. An audible alarm sounds if the temperature goes out of range. We also include a pre-installed 3/8″ access port for users to add their own monitoring equipment if preferred. The interior includes one wire shelf in the center to hold the temperature probe and additional adjustable shelves to accommodate different sizes. Internal LED lighting provides an efficient and convenient view. Automatic defrost reduces user maintenance and an internal fan ensures powerful temperature recovery after door openings.
EQTemp’s series of ACR refrigeration is certified to the NSF/ANSI 456 Vaccine Storage Standard. All models feature hydrocarbon refrigerant for a greener footprint. Additional sizes are available, as well as more advanced cold storage equipment purpose-built for laboratory and life science storage. Browse the full product line to explore our extensive selection.
Note: EQTemp’s ACR Series refrigerators are intended for a wide variety of healthcare storage applications. Storage of high-value vaccines, life science materials, and medical/clinical biologicals require a product offering tighter temperature control and/or alarms, monitoring, and backup.

Product FAQ
What is the ACR1321WNSF456 and what is it designed for?
The ACR1321WNSF456 is a full-height, healthcare-grade refrigerator with approximately 360 L (≈ 12.7 cu ft) capacity and a ~59 cm (≈ 23.4″) width. It’s intended for clinics, pharmacies, and laboratories requiring reliable +2 °C to +8 °C storage.
What temperature range and control features does it support?
It maintains an internal range of about +2 °C to +8 °C using a digital microprocessor controller with external display and a buffered probe to monitor stored-product temperature accurately.
What alarms, monitoring, and security features are included?
Audible/visual high-/low-temperature alarms, door-ajar alert, power-failure indication, remote alarm contacts, a dedicated probe access port, and a factory-installed keyed lock for secure access.
What construction and usability features support healthcare use?
Self-closing solid door (LHD variant available), hospital-grade power cord, fan-forced airflow for temperature uniformity, adjustable wire shelving, LED interior lighting, foamed-in-place insulation, front-breathing design for built-in or freestanding use, and a sealed-back cabinet for easier cleaning.
Shipping FAQ
What are the exterior dimensions and shipping weight?
Approx. 165 cm H × 59 cm W × 71 cm D (≈ 64.9″ × 23.4″ × 28.0″); shipping weight ≈ 59–77 kg (≈ 130–169 lb), depending on packaging.
What electrical and installation requirements apply?
115 V AC / 60 Hz, ~2.0 A. Use a dedicated grounded outlet, install level, and provide ventilation clearance (rear and sides), especially for built-in placements.
What steps should be taken during unpacking and placement?
Inspect for transit damage; if transported on its side, keep upright for several hours before powering; ensure the cabinet is level; confirm door-swing and ventilation space; and test controller/alarms before loading contents.
What delivery method is typical for this model?
Typically ships via palletized freight due to its size and application. Ensure clear access for off-loading, a stable staging area, and a level installation surface.
Application FAQ
Is this unit suitable for vaccine or pharmaceutical cold-chain storage?
Yes — it is engineered for healthcare environments requiring consistent +2 °C to +8 °C storage and includes monitoring and security features commonly used for vaccines, medications, and temperature-sensitive materials.
What daily best practices should be followed?
Use a calibrated data logger at mid-shelf height, label and rotate inventory, avoid over-packing shelves to maintain airflow, minimize door-open time, and record internal temperature checks per facility policy.
What routine maintenance is recommended?
Clean condenser/ventilation areas semi-annually; verify alarm, probe, and thermostat operation monthly (or per SOP); inspect door-gasket integrity annually; and keep the unit level with unobstructed airflow.
What should be done in the event of a temperature excursion or alarm?
Document time and deviation, relocate contents to approved backup storage if needed, identify and correct the cause (door ajar, airflow blocked, power issue), restore set-point stability, and log corrective actions according to facility procedures.
