The Haier HXC-629B is a 629 L (22.2 cu ft) upright blood bank refrigerator holding a precisely controlled +4 ±1 °C — the storage temperature mandated for whole blood and packed red cells. Blood banking is unforgiving of temperature drift, so the HXC-629B is built around six high-precision sensors and dual-speed fans that keep every basket within the ±1 °C window, backed by a mechanical thermostat and layered alarms. Six pull-out drawers hold up to 312 standard 450 mL blood bags, and a microprocessor LED controller displays temperature to 0.1 °C. It runs on a standard 115 V/60 Hz circuit and is UL certified.

Application Profile
The HXC-629B is purpose-built for blood-product cold storage in blood banks, transfusion services, and hospital laboratories, where +4 ±1 °C is a regulatory requirement rather than a preference. Ordinary refrigeration cannot guarantee that band across a full cabinet; the HXC-629B's dual-speed fans and six distributed sensors actively manage airflow to hold every drawer at temperature, and the 0.1 °C-resolution display makes the setpoint auditable. Six pull-out drawers organize up to 312 units of 450 mL blood bags for fast, ordered retrieval and inventory control. (See cold-chain-sample-storage.)
Multiple safety alarms — high/low temperature, power failure, door-ajar, sensor error, and low battery — protect the inventory, and USB data logging retains up to ten years of temperature history for compliance and audit. An optional NFC card module supports secure, managed access to stored blood.
Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature does the Haier HXC-629B maintain? A tightly controlled +4 ±1 °C, the mandated storage band for whole blood and packed red cells.
How much blood can it hold? Up to 312 standard 450 mL blood bags, organized across six pull-out drawers (629 L / 22.2 cu ft).
How does it keep temperature so uniform? Six high-precision sensors plus a mechanical thermostat and dual-speed fans actively manage airflow so every drawer stays within the ±1 °C window.
Does it keep temperature records? Yes — USB data logging retains up to ten years of temperature history, alongside a 0.1 °C-resolution display and multi-alarm monitoring.
What power does it require? 115 V/60 Hz, drawing 255 W, at 41 dB(A). It is UL certified and rated for 16–32 °C ambient.
Ordering & Configuration
quote-based. The HXC-629B is a capital blood bank refrigerator sold through a quote. At quote we confirm the 115 V circuit, floor space and clearance, drawer/basket configuration, monitoring and access accessories (USB logging, optional NFC module), and any validation or temperature-mapping requirements. Warranty terms are confirmed with the quote, and lead time is provided at quotation. Request a quote to configure the HXC-629B for your blood bank.
A dedicated blood bank refrigerator, not a lab fridge: the HXC-629B's +4 ±1 °C control, six-sensor airflow management, blood-bag drawers, and 10-year data logging are specific to transfusion-service compliance. For +2–8 °C pharmacy and vaccine storage, see the HYC pharmacy refrigerator line; for -30 °C plasma freezing, see the DW-30L698.
