Enhanced temperature performance:
Unlike other ULT freezers, the VAULT100 can run at setpoint –20 °C as well continuously at -100 °C. It has been engineered to deliver excellent temperature uniformity and designed for rapid temperature recovery to protect sample integrity.
To deliver better steady-state stability and uniformity, the cabinet design has been thermodynamically engineered, the three sealed inner doors have strong magnetic latches, and the door features an ambient air-repelling gasket.
The innovative Stirling engine and electronics, along with carefully designed cabinet and inner doors, ensure that temperature recovery after door opening is rapid. This means that when operating at setpoint -100 °C, stored samples may never be exposed to temperatures above -70 °C to -80 °C.*
- Uniformity: ±3 °C at -80 °C***
- Temperature recovery: 26 minutes to -80 °C**
- Steady-state temperature stability: ±0.2°C*** at setpoint -80 °C
New engine design:
The M6D free-piston Stirling engine builds on Stirling’s innovative engine technology to deliver an even more robust solution to laboratory cooling.
- Very few moving parts to maintain
- Contactless moving parts reducing friction, heat and wear
- Continuous modulation cooling rather than compressor-based start/stop temperature control
Sustainability:
Stirling takes a 360-degree approach to sustainability. The VAULT100 freezer has been designed to offer lower lifetime cost of ownership through running efficiency and maximising storage to reduce the operating costs per sample.
- 5.8 kWh** per day (steady state)
- ENERGY STAR® certification
- My Green Lab ACT Ecolabel
- Large sample storage volume per square foot of floor space
- Lower heat dissipation for reduced HVAC costs
Onboard Predictive Analytics and Freezer Diagnostics
Due to the characteristics of the Stirling system, a unique level of in-depth analysis is possible. Built-in sensors continuously collect data, which feeds into the onboard predictive analytics, enabling advanced predictive diagnostics tailored to each individual freezer.
- Insights into engine and freezer health
- Guidance for preventive maintenance and proactive service recommendations
- Current operating conditions and stage of life
- Intuitive diagnostic lights
