Fridge over troubled water


 

Inappropriate refrigerators, often domestic designs, used in laboratories have been the cause of potentially fatal explosions. Minimising the risk of fire through appropriate handling and
storage of any potentially flammable materials, as well as the installation of proper electrical equipment, is of paramount importance. Labcold, with over 40 years experience, has introduced one of the first ever ‘spark-free’ refrigerators. Labcold’s spark-free range, including a novel high-performance fan circulated, model demonstrates the company’s innovative approach to product development and ongoing commitment to establishing a safer workplace. The fan circulated spark-free model uses an externally mounted motor, driving the fan blades via a shaft that passes into the spark-free chamber.
