BINDER ultra low temperature freezers are particularly economical in terms of power consumption. This is also confirmed by the Energy Star seal, a US eco-label for energy-saving devices. Among the tested ULT freezers, the BINDER freezer is at the forefront with 0.36 kilowatt hours per day and cubic foot.
The competition, and this quickly becomes clear in this comparison, sometimes requires twice as much energy as BINDER. Of all the German companies that are allowed to adorn themselves with the Energy Star seal, BINDER and its freezers even come first. Product manager Dr. Jens Thielmann explains the award as follows: “Our freezers are characterized by low energy consumption and climate-neutral refrigerants.” In addition, the ultra-low freezer is absolutely reliable and ensures stable conditions at minus 80 ° C.
In the past ten years, BINDER in particular has concentrated very much on revolutionizing its already economical ultra-low temperature freezers. And the world market leader from Tuttlingen succeeded in doing so in the truest sense of the word. The developers have been able to reduce energy consumption by 40 percent over the years. This is a huge success.
Since the ultra-low freezers usually run continuously, the low energy consumption makes a big difference to the running costs. For example, if you take a look at the high-security laboratory in Mittelhäuser in Switzerland, there are several freezers that run continuously 365 days a year. It contains samples from highly contagious diseases such as COVID-19 or foot-and-mouth disease. The scientists who work with these ultra-low freezers therefore need absolutely reliable devices that enable long-term virus research with dangerous pathogens and that are also efficient and protect the environment.
The Energy Star has existed in the USA since 1992. In 2003, the Energy Star seal was officially introduced in Europe through an EU regulation. The BINDER freezers are marked with the international label.
