-- Can decrease temperature more rapidly, more uniformly and consistently, which is critical to the Life Science industry. The T-150 uniquely offers controlled temperature ramp rates -- an industry first. -- No bulky compressor system means vastly more storage space per external footprint. -- Unique temperature uniformity and no icy build-up also improve per square foot utilization. -- More internal room affords easier access, more flexible storage options, and allows one Cryometrix freezer to do the work of up to three old-style freezers. -- Eliminates use and possible leakage of fluorocarbon refrigerants that harm the Earth's ozone layer. -- Better endures loss of electric power, and can keep contents frozen properly up to 1.5 days versus a few hours. Backup battery to power extends days to weeks -- just reload the LN2 -- Decreases upstream carbon dioxide ("CO2") produced by electricity generation (due to far lower power usage.These operational and environmental advantages translate into several major economic advantages over compressor-type freezers:
-- No motorized compressor means dramatically reduced energy consumption -- up to 90%. -- Eliminates related cost of air-conditioning (compressors throw off major heat). -- Dramatically lowered maintenance costs due to no moving parts used in cooling and no fluorocarbon disposal costs. -- Long lifecycle: CoLD-based freezer lifespan estimated at 20 plus years versus five to seven expected for compressor-type freezers (which also have high decommission costs). -- Avoids costs related to goods damaged by power outages and non-uniform freezing. -- Highly cost-competitive for new installations even when based solely on storage space per square foot. -- Fast ROI when replacing traditional systems due to savings "ripple effect" from all the above advantages.About Liquid Nitrogen Liquid Nitrogen or "LN2" used by the CoLD platform is an emerging Cleantech alternative for applications involving cryogenic freezing, cold chain management, and product testing. Nitrogen is an abundant, renewable, environmentally safe material that comprises 79% of the air we breathe. The U.S. spends 12% of its national energy budget on commercial cooling and refrigeration, so many billions of dollars in savings could be realized with greater adoption of Reflect's LN2 cooling technologies. About Cryometrix Cryometrix, a unit of Reflect Scientific, is a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of refrigeration and cryogenic preservation equipment. Its Ultra Low Temperature freezers use an "all in one" cooling and cryogenic freezing system. It is the first liquid nitrogen based, programmable cooling and cryogenic freezing system in a standard upright format. This allows for exceptional reliability, precise thermal uniformity, and no user or product exposure to liquid nitrogen. The Cryometrix freezer is optimized for bio-repositories, research, forensic, hospital and clinical laboratories, and other life science applications where refrigeration and cryogenic preservation is required. About Reflect Scientific Since 1993, Reflect Scientific has focused on providing value-added consumable products and technology-based equipment for the life science marketplace. The company's product range has expanded to include ultra low temperature freezers and UV-Vis chemical detectors for life science and biotechnology industries, as well as tools and analytical services for industrial manufacturing. In addition to ultra low temperature freezers, Reflect offers a number of other LN2-based solutions, including cooling for computer server rooms and server farms, and has currently under development cooling equipment for Reefer trucks and shipping containers. The company also has provided Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) Chambers for high-tech product manufacturers, where Reflect's cooling technology helps test electronic equipment, like computer laptops, under extreme environments.
