Binder has released ultra-low temperature freezers now carry the US Energy Star label for environmentally-friendly units, ensuring optimal energy efficiency. With a consumption rate of 0.36-kilowatt hours per day and a cubic foot of cooling chamber, it has been demonstrated that when compared to some of Binder’s competition, they needed to use almost twice as much energy as the BINDER unit.
Dr. Jens Thielmann, product manager, said, “Our freezers consume relatively little energy and use climate-neutral refrigerants.” He also cited the high reliability of the ultra-low temperature freezers and their ability to provide stable conditions at temperatures as low as minus 80°C.
Over the past ten years, BINDER has invested a great deal in revolutionizing its ultra-low temperature freezers. To date, its developers have been able to dial back energy consumption by 40 percent.
Since the ultra-low temperature freezers generally operate continuously, low energy consumption makes a huge difference to operational costs. Laboratories working with highly-infectious diseases such as COVID-19 are reliant on ultra-low temperature freezers for storage. Binder has ensured that its units are capable of the highest degree of support when working with dangerous pathogens while simultaneously providing efficient and environmentally friendly freezer options.
