Application Profile
True builds its Scientific line in three application families — Pharmacy, Laboratory and Chromatography — and the TSCI-550PR-SWG-R-WW-1A is the Pharmacy unit: it is intended for drugs, vaccines and pharmaceuticals. Its published range is 2°C to 8°C with a 5°C set point, 0.5°C uniformity and 0.8°C stability.
The TSCI-550PR-SWG-R-WW-1A is Energy Star certified, meets NSF 456 performance standards, drawing 2.43 kWh/day, rejecting 757 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.
Design Architecture
Refrigeration System. Refrigeration system specifically designed to maintain cabinet temperatures between 2°C - 8°C (36°F - 46°F). Expertly designed airflow system controls temperature uniformity throughout the cabinet within +/-1˚C. Self-contained, capillary tube system using environmentally friendly R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant that has zero (0) ozone depletion potential (ODP), & 0.02 global warming potential (GWP). Reciprocating hermetic compressor paired with forced air copper tube, aluminum fin condenser. Automatic defrost. State-of-the-art, electronically communicated evaporator and condensing fan motors. Produces less heat, reduces energy consumption, and provides more efficient airflow.
Cabinet Construction. Exterior - non-peel or chip white powder coated cold rolled steel; durable and permanent. White aluminum back. Interior - attractive, white aluminum interior liner with a stainless steel floor. Remote alarm contacts. Insulation - entire cabinet structure is foamed-in-place using a high density polyurethane insulation that has zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and zero global warming potential (GWP). 0.625 Inch diameter probe access port in the back of the unit.
Door. Low-E double pane thermal insulated glass assembly. Door lock included. Door fitted with 12” (305mm) long extruded handle. Advanced technology with built-in antimicrobial properties protecting the handle. Door ajar alarm Magnetic door gaskets of one piece construction, removable without tools for ease of cleaning. Self-closing doors, positive seal, torsion type closure system.
Shelving. Powder-coated, perforated sheet metal shelves adjustable in 1/2 inch (13 mm) increments. 7 shelves total. Four (4) stainless steel shelf clips are included per shelf.
Electrical. Unit completely pre-wired at factory and ready for final connection to a 115/60/1 phase, 15 amp dedicated outlet. Cord and plug set included.
Optional Features/accessories (upcharge And Lead Times May Apply). Stainless steel interior Stainless steel exterior Left door swing Additional perforated sheet metal shelves Wire shelves 2.5" diameter castors 6" standard legs 6" seismic flanged legs
