Product Number: PH-ABT-VS-16G ★ NEW PRODUCT
ALSO AVAILABLE IN THESE SIZES12 23 26 33 36 47 49 69 72 CU. FT.

The PH-ABT-VS-16G delivers exceptional temperature control with maximum variation of just +/- 1.5°C and stability of +/- 0.3°C using simulator ballast, making it the ideal storage solution for temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals. This advanced pharmacy refrigerator features variable speed compressor technology that achieves remarkable efficiency, consuming less than 0.9 KWh per day while meeting ENERGY STAR v2.0 standards for laboratory refrigerators. The unit operates at whisper-quiet levels of 40 dBA or less, ensuring minimal disruption in clinical environments.

Engineered for demanding healthcare settings, the PH-ABT-VS-16G incorporates a microprocessor temperature controller with variable frequency compressor control, maintaining precise temperatures between 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C). The system features forced draft air circulation with patented air flow technology, ensuring uniform temperature distribution throughout the 16 cubic foot interior. Six adjustable shelves provide flexible storage configurations, while the self-closing glass door with magnetic gasket maintains optimal conditions even during frequent access.

Built to last with white powder coated steel construction and high-density urethane foam insulation, the PH-ABT-VS-16G includes comprehensive monitoring capabilities with audible and visual alarms for high/low temperature, sensor error, power failure, and door ajar conditions. The unit features remote alarm contacts for integration with facility monitoring systems, a keyed door lock compatible with digital lock systems including Pyxis, Omnicell, and AcuDose RX, and safety-shielded LED interior lighting. With a generous 7-year compressor warranty and 2-year parts and labor coverage, this premier refrigerator delivers reliable long-term performance.

Here are common questions and answers about this product

Gelu is on every product pageJust ask a question, anytime
What temperature range can this refrigerator maintain?

The adjustable temperature range is 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C), calibrated using a NIST traceable device with certificate included. Maximum temperature variation is +/- 1.5°C and stability with simulator ballast is +/- 0.3°C.

Temp Controller tab
What are the exterior dimensions and weight?

Exterior width is 25″, depth is 28.875″, and height is 79″. Product weight is 243 lbs and shipping weight is 290 lbs.

Details tab
How much clearance does the unit need for installation?

The refrigerator requires a minimum 2″ of clearance at the back and sides of the unit for proper ventilation.

Temp Controller tab
What alarms are included?

The unit has audible and visual high/low temperature alarms, remote alarm contacts, sensor error alarm, power failure alarm, and door ajar alarm. A battery backup supports the controller temperature display and alarms only, with no cooling active.

Temp Controller tab
What refrigerant and defrost method does it use?

It uses EPA SNAP compliant R600a Isobutane, a hydrocarbon natural refrigerant, with a hermetic variable speed compressor. Defrost is cycle defrost.

Refrigeration System tab
What is the warranty coverage?

The unit carries a two (2) year parts and labor warranty and a seven (7) year compressor warranty.

Details tab
What is a Variable Speed Compressor (VSC)?

A variable speed compressor (VSC) self-adjusts to cooling demand instead of running at one fixed speed, giving greater efficiency and more cost savings than a traditional fixed-speed model. On this unit it works alongside the microprocessor temperature controller, which provides the precise temperature control.
