A battery powered alarm is provided to warn of increasing temperatures, and will display the high and low temperatures recorded in the freezer. The ice-bank is fully installed and is maintenance-free. Model VT175IB has over 3" of insulation in the exterior walls.
* Tests by an independent testing laboratory (Intertek/ETL) conducted at an ambient temperature of 70 degrees F (21 degrees C) showed that when contents (75% filled) were stabilized at -22 degrees F (-30 degrees C), and power was turned off, contents were held below freezing (32 degrees F or 0 degrees C) for over 42 hours. Individual results will vary based on ambient temperature, percentage of capacity used, and frequency of lid opening.
