Ultra low temperature freezer maintenance.
Ultralow freezers which typically operate at 86 c are used in laboratories and hospitals worldwide and are intended for reliable and long term storage of temperature sensitive research samples such as blood plasma and organ tissue.
The most common temperature for storing materials in ultra low freezers is 80 c.
Minus 80 freezers generally have a service life of 12 to 15 years.
Preventive maintenance includes routine servicing by the ultra low temperature freezer manufacturer and regular maintenance performed by you.
The service life of the freezer may be increased by following the maintenance tips in this document for setup operation and preventative maintenance.
Increasing freezer temperatures from 80oc to 70oc will decrease the run time of the compressor and the frequency of the start stop cycle and extend the life span of the freezer.
It typically involves inspection of equipment and detection and correction of potential problems to ensure continued uptime.
