Series is designed to reduce energy consumption.
VIP® Series ULT Freezers
Panasonic VIP® Series -86ºC ultra-low
temperature freezers maintain internal
temperatures as low as -86°C (-123°F).
All models use Panasonic uniquely
designed compressors for ultra-low
temperature applications. Manufactured
with high density vacuum insulation
panels in conjunction with foamed-inplace insulation, they are ideally suited
for use in laboratories and hospitals for
long-term preservation, specimens and
components, as well as materials testing. Whatever your preservation needs
are, Panasonic provides the right equipment for the right application. Panasonic
preservation systems employ advanced
technology to insure a high precision
temperature environment.

represent the industry’s most advanced
combination of cabinet design, electronics, refrigeration and critical components
for enhanced security, better performance, product safety and cost effective
operation at -86°C.

• The newly developed energy efcient refrigeration system and sound
abatement feature minimizes intrusive
operating noise.
• The newly developed refrigeration
system combined with strategically
designed and placed components in
the refrigeration compartment provide
superior air ow to drastically reduce
the stress to the freezer and contributing to excellent durability.
• Two independent and insulated inner doors ensure maximum interior
chamber uniformity at all points in
the chamber.
Panasonic Heat Exchanger Design
Increases Energy Efciency
Every traditional ultra-low freezer design
utilizes a heat exchanger. By increasing
the efficiency of the heat exchanger
through an improved new design incorporating more surface area contact at
critical points in the refrigeration system,
we are able to improve the overall efficiency and reduce compressor running
time. This along with other improvements to heat exchanger in the refrigeration system translates to a substantial
increase in energy efficiency.

VIP® Series -86°C Freezer Energy Efcient Cascade Cooling System
One of the most important concepts in designing a superior energy saving ultra-low freezer is how efciently heat is exchanged between the
high and low stage circuits. By providing optimum heat exchange pathways in the design, it not only increases efciency of the system, leading
to greater energy savings, but it will also have an effect of reducing stress on the compressors, leading to greater overall system reliability.
Panasonic’s new cap tube heat exchanger is but the latest step in increasing the available heat exchange areas in the system. This patent
pending innovation drastically increases the efciency of the entire system. The end result is less energy consumption, while improving the
overall efciency of the freezer.
Low Stage Capillary Tube. Liquid refrigerant under
pressure is passed through the capillary tube where it
ash evaporates in the low stage evaporator to absorb
energy (heat) from the product stored in the freezer.
Freezer Cabinet with Evaporator.
The evaporator coil is strategically wrapped
around to provide optimum temperature
uniformity within the composite wall of
vacuum insulation panels and conventional
foamed-in-place urethane insulation.
NEW Capillary Tube (Patent Pending).
Low stage capillary tube heat exchanger
provides optimum heat transfer between high
and low temperature points in the low stage
leading to greater energy efciency.
Low Stage Refrigerant. Commonly
available worldwide, R508.
Low Stage Heat Exchanger. Heat is
efciently transferred from the low stage to
the high stage.
Interstage Heat Exchanger. To increase
overall system efciency heat energy is
transferred to the high stage circuit.
High Stage Capillary Tube. Liquid
refrigerant under pressure is passed
through the capillary tube where it
ash evaporates in the interstage heat
exchanger to absorb energy (heat) from
the low stage refrigerant circuit.
Main Condenser and Motor/Fan
Assembly. Panasonic’s exclusive triple
pass forced air condenser increases
overall system efciency by providing
maximum surface area for heat retection
High Stage Refrigerant. Commonly
available worldwide. Selected for optimum
cooling performance in compliance with
international environmental protection laws.
Air Cooled Pre-Condenser. Removes
energy (heat) from the high stage refrigerant
enroute to the high stage oil reservoir.
Low Stage Compressor. The compressor
pumps refrigerant through the low stage circuit.
Low Stage Oil Heat Exchanger. Panasonic
exclusive high stage refrigerant passes through
the low-stage oil sump to cool lubricating oil
resulting in high-stage refrigerant being used
to increase the durability of the low stage
compressor.
Air Cooled Pre-Condenser. Removes energy
(heat) from the high stage refrigerant enroute to
the low stage compressor.
Instrumentation (Not Shown). Temperature and pressure sensors throughout the

Noise Reduction
Ultra-low freezers are often located
within research and hospital laboratories
or production facilities. Users prefer
close proximity for easy access to valuable stored products.
If operating noise from refrigeration
compressors is excessive, and/or compounded by installation of multiple freezers in adjacent locations, the working
environment is severely compromised.
Panasonic has included advanced noise
abatement in all contemporary ultra-low
freezers and noise reduction levels are
well below those of competitive freezers. Data is available upon request.
Panasonic Refrigeration Delivers
Uniform Temperature
The Panasonic cascade refrigeration
system uses Panasonic designed
compressors for high-performance, reliability and peace of mind. Refrigeration
components are carefully selected and
matched for optimum operation under
demanding laboratory environments.
• Increased reserve cooling capacity
improves temperature recovery after
door openings.
• Quieter operation is achieved
through condenser fan blade design,
noise abatement insulation and antivibration mounts.
• Voltage boost and surge protection
devices permit dependable operation
over wider power ranges and environmental conditions.
(Except MDF-U76VA)
Electrical Standards
All Panasonic products including ultralow temperature freezers are tested
and certied by an NRTL (National
Recognized Testing Laboratory) to assure
compliance with US and International
standards for electrical safety prescribed
in 29 CFR 1910.7( c ).
Water Cooled Option (MDF-WCL)
Now a water cooled condenser option
is available for facilities equipped with
water recirculation cooling systems.
This option utilizes the cascade refrigeration design to reuse the energy
produced by an ultra low freezer while
delivering energy-savings and high
performance cooling.
Ideal for material storage in repositories,
hospitals, clinics and medical research
facilities, the water cooled system is
designed to signicantly reduce energy
consumption.
• Energy efciency
• Cost saving
• Re-use of energy
• Faster recovery time
• Improved sample security
Inventory Management
The concept of High Density Storage
is enabled by advances in Panasonic
Cool Safe compressor design. The cost
per 2” box of interior storage space is
signicantly lower in a Panasonic ultralow freezer, generating immediate return
on investment based on rst costs,
operating costs and maintenance costs
over time.
Additionally, the placement of evaporator
surfaces within the cabinet walls achieve
exceptional documented ultra-low temperature uniformity, thereby permitting
investigators more freedom in placing
valuable cell lines and biologicals within
the interior cabinet, and assuring uniform
cell viability when harvesting products
from the ultra-low archive.
Because benets of the Panasonic Cool
Safe compressor design extend to evaporator tubing surrounding the interior
chamber, and the interior chamber is part
of the thin-wall composite based on the
patented VIP
cabinet, Panasonic can offer more usable
storage volume within the same sq.ft. of
oor space than competitive models.
