The MS24RFSHRW is a 6.1 cubic foot Hazardous Location refrigerator-freezer that is appropriate for noncritical temperature storage applications. Hazardous Location products are often referred to by the industry term explosion proof. The MS24RFSHRW uses a U-shaped plate-type evaporator installed across the top of the interior, which is isolated from the remainder of the interior space by a spring-closing interior door and thermal divider, to create a small amount of dedicated freezer space. The remainder of the interior is refrigerator storage space. Construction features include a specially designed compressor, overload, relay and thermostat system with all electrical components enclosed to prevent accidental ignition of flammable vapors present in the ambient environment surrounding the refrigerator-freezer. The MS24RFSHRW is supplied with a two-wire pigtail for hardwire connection to an appropriately rated conduit box. When installed under lab benches or within casework, it requires additional ventilation clearance of 1 inch from top and sides of the cabinet and 1.5 inches from the back to insure proper static condenser ventilation.
