The Haier HYC-118A is a 118 L (4.2 cu ft) upright glass-door pharmacy refrigerator holding a controlled +2 °C to +8 °C for vaccines, medications, reagents, and biologics. Its 810 mm cabinet height is deliberately sized to slide under a standard test bench, turning otherwise unused space into compliant cold storage — a practical advantage in space-constrained pharmacies and labs. Forced-air cooling with automatic defrost keeps the interior uniform, an electrically heated triple-layer glass door supports at-a-glance inventory checks without fogging, and a microprocessor LED controller drives 0.1 °C-resolution temperature control and multiple alarms. It runs on a standard 115 V/60 Hz circuit.

Application Profile
The HYC-118A is built for undercounter regulated cold storage where floor space is scarce. Its 810 mm height fits beneath a lab or pharmacy bench, so a facility can add 4.2 cu ft of compliant +2–8 °C capacity without dedicating standalone floor area. Forced-air cooling delivers the whole-cabinet uniformity that vaccines and biologics require — the reason a purpose-built pharmacy refrigerator is specified over a domestic unit — and the 0.1 °C-resolution controller makes the setpoint auditable. (See pharmacy-refrigerator-selection.)
The electrically heated triple-layer glass door stays condensation-free for inventory checks, an LED interior light and magnetic door seal aid daily use, and a safety lock restricts access. Multiple alarms — high/low temperature, power failure, low battery, door-ajar, sensor error, plus remote-alarm contact — cover unattended overnight operation, and adjustable feet level the unit under an uneven bench.
Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature does the Haier HYC-118A maintain? A controlled +2 °C to +8 °C, with 0.1 °C display resolution — the regulated band for vaccines and medications.
Will it fit under a bench? Yes — the cabinet is 810 mm tall (exterior 597 × 635 × 810 mm), specifically designed to fit under a standard test bench, with adjustable feet for leveling.
How is the interior organized? Three adjustable shelves plus one drawer/basket, behind an electrically heated triple-layer glass door with an LED interior light.
Does it run on a standard outlet? Yes — 115 V/60 Hz, drawing 230 W at 1.5 A, at 41 dB(A). It is UL certified.
How is it monitored and secured? A microprocessor controller with multiple alarms (high/low temperature, power failure, low battery, door-ajar, sensor error, remote-alarm contact) and a safety lock.
Ordering & Configuration
quote-based. The HYC-118A is sold through a quote. At quote we confirm the 115 V circuit, undercounter clearance for the 597 × 635 × 810 mm cabinet, monitoring accessories, and any temperature-mapping or validation needs. Warranty terms are confirmed with the quote, and lead time is provided at quotation. Request a quote to add the HYC-118A under your bench.
HYC-118A vs HYC-85GD: both are glass-door +2–8 °C undercounter refrigerators. The HYC-118A offers more capacity (118 L, 4.2 cu ft, 3 shelves) in a bench-height cabinet; the HYC-85GD (85 L) is the smaller countertop option. For floor-standing capacity, step to the HYC-461 or HYC-1031 line.
