Application Profile
True builds its Scientific line in three application families — Pharmacy, Laboratory and Chromatography — and the TSCI-550CR-SWS-R-WW-1A is the Chromatography unit: it is intended for chromatography supplies, reagents, buffers and tall containers. Its published range is 2°C to 10°C with a 5°C set point, 0.6°C uniformity and 0.8°C stability.
The TSCI-550CR-SWS-R-WW-1A is Energy Star certified, meets NSF 456 performance standards, drawing 1.76 kWh/day, rejecting 578 BTU/hr into the room. Rejected-heat and energy figures matter when several cabinets share a room: they size the HVAC load as directly as they size the utility bill.
Because chromatography work mixes short vials with tall columns and buffer reservoirs, True publishes two shelf configurations for this cabinet: Option 1: Full Depth Sheet Metal Shelves; Option 2: Half Depth Wire Shelves w/ Mast.
Design Architecture
DiseÑo.
Sistema De RefrigeraciÓn. Sistema auto contenido diseñado en fábrica que utiliza el refrigerante de hidrocarbono ecológico R290 que tiene un potencial de destrucción de la capa de ozono de cero (ODP) y muy bajo potencial de calentamiento global de tres (3) (GWP). Sistema de refrigeración de alta capacidad, balanceado en fábrica que mantiene temperaturas en el gabinete de .5°C a 3.3°C (33°F a 38°F), lo mejor para la preservación de alimentos. Motores ventiladores del evaporador y condensador de primera clase, accionados electrónicamente. Los motores ECM operan con una alta eficiencia y mueven un mayor volumen de aire, lo cual produce menos calor, reduce el consumo de energía y provee una gran confiabilidad en el motor.
