Ultra Cold Storage and Solutions
Ultra Cold Storage
When engineering new technologies, Arctiko has the customer in mind. The large temperature display and most user-friendly controls on the market show that once again Arctiko has managed to turn simplicity into an art. Arctiko has the smartest controller available with every possible alarm feature, integrated data logger, contact for remote alarm and USB read out. Naturally, all these features are standard on our units produced with the Arctiko controller. Today the Arctiko controller is not only the premium of controllers worldwide, but has an upload function. This means that when Arctiko makes a software update or adds additional features, you can update your unit on site. We call this a commitment to our partners and end users, and it means that your unit will always be up to date. Storing samples at ultra-low temperatures is always a highly sensitive process, because the stored items are most likely high value drugs or irreplaceable samples of DNA, blood, cells, etc. Patented worldwide, the Arctiko single compressor system offers the best solution in the ultra-low temperature market. With focus on simplicity, we strive to design products that are easy to use and equipped with all necessary features. Arctiko’s single compressor cooling system which only uses one compressor and one cooling cycle, Arctiko has been able to manufacture a unique range of -86° C ultra-low temperature freezers. Our true and original single-stage technology system has a unique and simple structure that ensures easy maintenance, less heat dissipation, low energy consumption and noise reduction.
The traditional cascade cooling system that requires two compressors working together has a more complex structure with many parts and a higher failure rate, which will affect the cost of ownership during the lifetime of an ultra-low temperature freezer. Our single compressor system has a more simplified structure of the cooling system and electrical circuit, which reduces the failure rate. A traditional cascade cooling system is built with two cooling cycles working together to achieve -86°C, a high and a low stage cooling cycle. In the event of failure in one of the cycles, both cycles will be out of function, and the more parts, the more risk for failures. Arctiko’s single compressor system is designed as a filter less construction, which prevents problems due to dust build-up on the filter. Dust on the filter will block the air flow through the condenser, which reduces the ability of the ULT to effectively dissipate heat. The air that bypasses the clogged air filter will carry dirt into the condenser, which will increase the energy used in the compressor and generate additional heat for the ambient environment. The single compressor compartment is located in the top of our upright freezers, which provides many great advantages, such as easy access for service and maintenance, as well as an ergonomically correct design allowing easy access to each compartment inside the ULT. The first in the world to introduce the single compressor. System for ultra-low temperature freezers instead of the cascade system, Arctiko is delighted to see more and more manufacturers starting to implement the single compressor system, which shows that Arctiko has been the true innovative manufacturer worldwide from day one.
