Thermo Forma Scientific -86 Ultra Low Temperature CLEARANCE! As-Is

Thermo Forma Scientific -86 Ultra Low Temperature Freezer Model 8525

***This ultra-low temp freezer has been tested to meet specifications. Unit has slight wear from normal use. Buyer can expect a working unit and 30-day warranty. See photos for details.

The 8500 Series Forma Scientific non-CFC, Ultra-Low Temperature Freezers feature front-to-back air circulation for cooler compressor temperatures, increased performance and reliability and longer compressor life. In this unique system, ambient air enters the front grill of the freezer and passes through the filter, condenser and compressor housing, exiting out of the rear of the unit. An enlarged condenser and two cooling fans also contribute to better efficiency and help extend compressor life. Cleaning the air filter and condenser fan is done from the front of the unit.

Other important features of the Forma Scientific 8500 Series Freezers are:

Enviro-Scan Microprocessor Monitoring System

• Enviro-Scan uses a digital display, audible and visual indicators and a touch sensitive keypad to provide total control of all freezer functions. The module digitally displays chamber temperature and control setpoint, to the nearest degree C. High and low alarm set points are easily programmed. A back-up battery system supplies power to the monitoring system during electrical outages.

An RS-232 port provides a computer interface and monitoring of temperatures and alarms. A remote alarm connector is also a standard feature.

Non-CFC, non-HCFC and non-flammable refrigerants

• Committed to a safer, healthier environment, Forma Scientific has phased out the use of ozone depleting CFC (chlorofluorocarbons) in all of the company's refrigerated products. Forma also uses non-CFC foamed-in-place urethane insulation and all packaging materials used in shipping are non-CFC.

Peak Control System

• Due to the increased demands on today's refrigeration systems, Forma Scientific has engineered a compressor protection system called PEAK Control. In this system, a pressure switch senses excessive compressor discharge pressure. When the discharge pressure exceeds the design limit, a solenoid valve opens allowing refrigerant to enter an expansion tank. The refrigerant returns to the system through a capillary tube. The PEAK Control System continues to monitor system pressures, insuring they stay within design limits to help extend compressor life.

"Smart" Condenser Fans

For maximum compressor protection, all Forma ULT freezers include two tubes.
axial fans in the compressor housing. When both compressors are running, both fans operate to pull ambient air through the condenser and over the compressors. When both compressors are off, one fan remains ready to cycle on when the thermostat senses a temperature rise above 32°C.

 Built-In Automatic Voltage Compensation

• A built-in, automatic voltage compensator is built into every Forma 8500 Series
  non-CFC, Ultra-Low Temperature Freezer to detect and respond to high or low voltage situations. Voltage from the incoming power supply is monitored and adjusted by the automatic voltage compensator, ensuring compressor operation within design parameters. A light on the front of the control panel indicates when incoming voltage is being corrected.
