The use of medical freezer is very extensive in the field of medicine as every medical store, laboratories and hospitals use different kinds of freezers for storing vaccines, medicated drugs, body samples and medical experiment related chemicals. Temperature setting is the most important requirement for the proper working of the freezers.
Freezer and temperature control
The most important factor which differentiates a freezer from other normal storage units is its ability to store things at a lower degree of temperature and preserving them at a cool atmosphere. Temperature control system is the most important component of the medical freezer and the controlling of the same is done either by a digital display or by a dial thermostat panel. The display system or the thermostat panel is inbuilt in the body of the freezer. Temperature fluctuation is very detrimental for the proper functioning of the freezer and the fluctuation can be kept in the bay by fitting a temperature alarm to the refrigerator which allows the person in charge of the medical freezer to keep a proper track of temperature fluctuation.
How to set correct temperature?
Correct temperature is the most important component needed for the right functioning of the freezer. The temperature can be adjusted or set with the help of automatic digital temperature sensor or by the manual temperature controlling knob. The manual knob has to be rotated and turned until the desired temperature setting is not achieved whereas the automatic sensor adjusts the temperature setting on its own by reading the temperature difference of the refrigerators. The temperature set for high quality refrigerators is between -15 to -45 degree Celsius. The temperature range set for normal quality standard refrigerators should be under -5 degree Celsius.
Stabilization of temperature
It is very important for the freezer to maintain accurate temperature for storing and preserving the medical items. Stable temperature is the need of proper refrigeration and thus should be highly insulated so that the temperature variation during any voltage fluctuation can be minimized. The freezer should be immune to the external temperature variations and this can be achieved via an inbuilt voltage stabilizer. The temperature fluctuations can also be kept in check by attaching a heat sink to the freezers, the heat sink stabilizes the temperature by limiting any kind of rise in temperature.
Why right temperature is needed?
Right temperature setting in medical freezer is needed because numerous kinds of medical samples, body organs and chemical substances are kept in the freezer and some of these samples are sensitive to ambient temperature and requires special temperature for preservation. The right temperature is attained by the temperature setting digital display or by a thermostat fitted on the freezer but change in settings; environment or electricity failure may change the temperature settings. Right temperature is also needed and should be checked at every pre-determined interval because if the temperature drops very low then the freezer will consume more power for functioning. The ideal temperature should be set 2 degree Celsius to 10 degree Celsius.
