Laboratory refrigerator or freezer BHS-HoReCa L850000

A refrigerator designed to hold food samples at controlled temperatures between -8 °C and +8 °C keeps ingredients stable for laboratory analysis or culinary instruction. The unit circulates chilled air evenly around the interior, slowing bacterial growth and preserving texture and flavour without freezing the samples solid.

The operator loads trays or containers through a single front door, sets the desired temperature on the control panel, and leaves the refrigerator to maintain the climate automatically. A thermostat cycles the compressor on and off to hold the set point, while an internal fan distributes the cold air so every shelf receives the same conditions. When samples are needed, the door is opened briefly to retrieve them without allowing the interior to warm significantly.

The cabinet is built from stainless steel inside and out, resisting corrosion from spills and cleaning agents. Shelves adjust on vertical runners to accommodate containers of different heights. The exterior dimensions of 470 mm wide, 510 mm deep and 840 mm high allow the refrigerator to fit beneath a standard worktop or in a corner of a teaching kitchen.

A single rotary control on the front panel sets the temperature within the -8 °C to +8 °C range. The 230 V power requirement matches a standard single-phase kitchen circuit, drawing 0.105 kW to maintain the climate without overloading the supply.

The 95 litre capacity provides space for multiple sample containers while keeping the unit compact enough to move through doorways and position close to preparation areas. Shelves and interior surfaces wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent; the door seal should be checked periodically for debris to ensure an airtight closure.

This refrigerator is categorised under laboratory and teaching equipment in the BHS catalogue.
