HS series / HSL series

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document outlines the specifications and features of the KW HS series freezers, designed for high-security storage at -85°C. It compares the HS series with other lines like the PL and HSL, focusing on differences in control systems and components that enhance reliability and security.
Specifications: The HS series offers 16 models, including vertical and horizontal options. Key features include a robust structure, high-power refrigerant group, and a triple-sealed door to prevent air loss, designed for long-term durability and heavy-duty tasks.
Security and Reliability: The freezers ensure product safety through exceptional thermal insulation, efficient temperature recovery, and uniform internal temperature. They feature polyurethane insulation, insulated internal doors, and a unique tray evaporation system for fast cooling and recovery.
Energy Efficiency: The freezers incorporate energy-saving technologies such as improved insulation, high-efficiency cooling units, and vacuum insulation panels (V.I.P.) that offer up to 20% energy savings. Environmentally friendly refrigerants with zero ozone depletion potential further enhance energy efficiency.
Technology and Innovation: Built according to ISO 9001:2000 and European CE safety regulations, the freezers feature the K1EX CONTROL system for easy operation and monitoring, with alarms for temperature, power failure, and door status. The system includes a self-diagnosis test and password-protected access for enhanced security.
Backup and Alarms: The freezers have a backup system for power failures, maintaining alarm signaling and temperature measurement for 12-16 hours. Alarms include min/max temperature, door open, and condensation overpressure, with a buzzer for sound alerts.
Environmental Commitment: KW uses HFC refrigerants with low global warming potential and ensures the absence of CFC and HCFC in polyurethane foam, committed to reducing environmental impact through innovative design and energy-efficient technologies.
Additional Features: Optional features include the SPED device for startup pressure equalization, a lock with transponder/badge, and a CO2 or LN2 backup system for additional security.
Specifications: The document lists multiple models with their internal and external dimensions, capacity in liters, average power consumption in kW, and weight in kg. The freezers operate within a temperature range of -40°C to -85°C, with specific models offering different capacities and power efficiencies.
Key Features: Equipped with μP electronic digital control systems for managing alarms related to temperature, power failure, and door status, the freezers also include vacuum insulation panels (V.I.P) for enhanced thermal efficiency.
Power and Operation: The freezers require a power supply of V230/Hz50. Maintaining room temperatures below +35°C is crucial for optimal operation, with an automatic condensation device recommended if temperatures exceed this threshold.
Accessories: Available accessories include voltage regulators, remote alarm devices, CO2 and LN2 backup systems, additional sensors, and data logging equipment, enhancing the functionality and safety of the freezers.
Testing and Performance: Performance data includes power consumption and temperature stability during startup and blackout tests, providing insights into the energy efficiency and reliability of the freezers under various environmental conditions.
Compliance and Contact Information: The company adheres to ISO standards for quality and safety, with contact information provided for customer support and inquiries.

HS series / HSL series-3

HS series freezers at -85 °C The HS (High Security) series constitutes KW’s standard freezer line at -85°C; the PL (Premium Line) series represents excellence in verylow-temperature freezers for laboratory use. The HSL (High Security Light) series constitutes KW’s standard freezer line at -45°C; the PLL (Premium Line Light) series represents excellence in low-temperature freezers for laboratory use. The difference between both lines is in the control system and some components that, in the PL and PLL versions, drive equipment reliability even higher, and thus the security of the products stored...

HS series freezers at -85 °C Self-diagnosis test: upon boot up, the freezer’s LEDs and buzzer are activated for about 1”. User Menu access protected by password. Password-protected Setup access menu for service operations. Cooling Startup/Shutdown The startup and shutdown of the cooling cycle requires passwordprotected manoeuvres: the cycle starts from a standby status (lower display showing OFF). First the “START” key is pressed, then the display shows a password request; if correctly inserted, the cooling cycle will start, otherwise the display will show OFF again. The same procedure is necessary...

HS series freezers at -85 °C Example of consumption measurements for the K568_K58PL_HS freezer In terms of power, at -80 °C in an environment of about +25 °C, the equipment absorbs approximately 1.1 kW (when ON). For more accuracy an increase in the recorded ON/OFF is reported. In this graph the ON time is about 16 minutes, whereas the OFF time is about 10 minutes at - 80 °C. The mean consumption measured is approximately 610 W at the aforementioned conditions. Loss of the K568_K58 PL freezer The loss is approximately 2,000 BTU/h in standard environmental conditions.
