Quiet - Low Noise Operation
• According to OSHA 1910.95 Occupational Noise Exposure
Regulation, the sound level of the work place has to fall below
90 dBA for an employee who works 8 hours/day.
• Total noise in a lab is highly dependent upon the equipment
that emits the greatest amount of noise.
• Esco Lexicon
®
ultra-low freezer has a noise level of
approximately 56 dBA*. This ensures a quiet and pleasant
working environment for lab users.
* Units were factory tested under controlled environmental conditions per Esco method. Esco does not guarantee identical results in the field under differing conditions.
Original report available upon request. UUS-668A-1 units were used for all the tests above.
** Average value of the Brand S to Brand F.
Large Reserve Capacity
• Reserve capacity test records the lowest temperature the
freezer is able to sustain when a heat source is placed in
the freezer. This resembles real life situations when hot
samples are placed in the freezer. The lower the temperature
the freezer can sustain, the higher chance the freezer can
maintain the set temperature when warm samples are placed
in the freezer.
• Esco reserve capacity surpasses that of all major brands
tested above.
