ARES Cool 23 cu. ft. Glass Door Upright Pharmacy Refrigerator

Description

ARES Cool 23 cu. ft. Glass Door Upright Pharmacy Refrigerator – Product Highlights

• ARES Cool proprietary brand — 23 cu. ft. large-capacity glass door upright pharmacy refrigerator: ARES Cool is ARES Scientific’s proprietary line of laboratory and medical-grade cold storage equipment; the PH-ARS-HC-23G is the large-capacity glass door upright model in the ARES Cool refrigerator line, providing 23 cu. ft. of dedicated pharmaceutical cold storage with full ARES Scientific distributor support behind every unit.
• 23 cu. ft. large-capacity dedicated pharmaceutical refrigeration: The full 23 cu. ft. cabinet capacity is devoted exclusively to pharmaceutical refrigeration — serving pharmacy dispensing rooms, hospital medication areas, clinical labs, blood bank refrigerated storage, vivarium supply rooms, and research facilities where a high-volume upright glass door refrigerator consolidates large pharmaceutical and biological inventory in a single unit without splitting capacity with a freezer compartment.
• Cycle defrost system for low-maintenance refrigeration operation: The cycle defrost system manages ice buildup through automated defrost cycles — providing more convenient operation than manual defrost while maintaining the pharmaceutical cold storage environment; cycle defrost is distinct from the manual defrost system used on the ARES Cool laboratory freezers in this product line and represents a practical choice for high-access pharmacy and clinical environments where manual defrost maintenance scheduling is operationally impractical.
• Glass door for at-a-glance pharmaceutical inventory monitoring: The right-hinged glass door allows pharmacists, lab managers, and clinical staff to monitor refrigerated inventory without opening the cabinet — reducing door-opening frequency and the associated thermal impact on the 23 cu. ft. refrigerated collection of vaccines, medications, blood products, reagents, and cannabis-derived extracts; the glass door also supports visual inventory confirmation without disrupting cold chain conditions in the cabinet.
• Casters for repositionable large-capacity pharmaceutical refrigerator deployment: Casters enable the unit to be repositioned within a facility without the fixed installation constraints of stationary refrigerators — useful for pharmacy layout reconfigurations, clinical lab space reorganizations, and vivarium supply room adjustments; the unit stands 81.75 in with casters and 78.25 in without, and facilities should confirm floor clearance and load capacity as part of laboratory refrigerator site planning.
• Microprocessor temperature controller with digital touchpad display: The onboard microprocessor delivers precise temperature control with a digital touchpad interface, enabling clear at-a-glance temperature monitoring and straightforward setpoint adjustment for pharmaceutical cold chain documentation and GMP laboratory refrigerator compliance requirements across the full 23 cu. ft. inventory.
• Comprehensive alarm system with keyed door lock for pharmaceutical cold storage security: Integrated temperature alarms and a keyed door lock provide continuous cold chain monitoring assurance and restricted access to refrigerated pharmaceutical inventory — supporting controlled substance security protocols, pharmacy dispensing security requirements, and GMP pharmaceutical refrigeration documentation at the 23 cu. ft. capacity scale.
• R290 low-GWP hydrocarbon refrigerant for eco-conscious large-capacity refrigeration: R290 propane-based hydrocarbon refrigerant’s extremely low global warming potential supports institutional sustainability commitments and green procurement requirements for hospitals, blood banks, and clinical facilities evaluating refrigerant environmental impact in large-capacity pharmaceutical refrigerator procurement decisions.
• ETL Listed — standard 115V operation for flexible facility deployment: ETL listing confirms NRTL safety compliance; the unit operates on a standard 115V circuit, making it deployable in pharmacy dispensing areas, hospital medication rooms, clinical laboratory cold storage areas, vivarium supply facilities, and blood bank refrigerator rooms without dedicated circuit upgrades or special electrical infrastructure.
• Two-year parts and labor warranty with three-year compressor parts coverage: The PH-ARS-HC-23G carries a two-year parts and labor warranty plus a three-year compressor parts warranty — backed by full ARES Scientific distributor support; buyers comparing warranty coverage across the ARES Cool refrigerator line should note that the compact pharmacy refrigerators in this family carry a five-year compressor warranty, making warranty term a relevant consideration alongside capacity and configuration in pharmaceutical refrigerator procurement decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions – ARES Cool 23 cu. ft. Glass Door Upright Pharmacy Refrigerator

What is ARES Cool?

ARES Cool is ARES Scientific’s proprietary line of laboratory and medical-grade cold storage equipment, designed and sold exclusively through ARES Scientific to serve pharmacies, clinical labs, blood banks, vivariums, pathology departments, research institutions, and cannabis operations — the PH-ARS-HC-23G is the large-capacity glass door upright model in the ARES Cool refrigerator line, purpose-built for facilities requiring 23 cu. ft. of dedicated pharmaceutical cold storage with a cycle defrost system and casters for flexible deployment in medical and clinical environments.

What is the temperature range for this refrigerator?

The temperature range for the PH-ARS-HC-23G is not specified in the current product listing — buyers with specific temperature range requirements for vaccine storage, blood bank refrigeration, or pharmaceutical GMP cold storage compliance should contact ARES Scientific directly at 720-283-0177 ext. 2 to confirm the verified operating range before procurement; the vaccine refrigerator selection guide provides general context on evaluating temperature range requirements for immunization program refrigerators.

What applications is this 23 cu. ft. refrigerator used for?

The ARES Cool 23 cu. ft. Glass Door Upright Pharmacy Refrigerator is used in pharmacy dispensing rooms, hospital medication areas, clinical laboratories, blood bank operations requiring large-capacity pharmaceutical refrigeration, vivarium supply rooms, pathology departments, cannabis extraction facilities, and university and commercial research institutions where a full-size glass door upright pharmaceutical refrigerator consolidates large medical and biological cold storage inventory in a single high-capacity unit.

What is cycle defrost and how does it differ from manual and auto defrost?

Cycle defrost initiates defrost cycles at timed intervals using a timer-controlled heater to clear frost accumulation — providing more automated operation than manual defrost (which requires staff intervention) while typically producing defrost cycles that are more predictable and less energy-intensive than continuous auto defrost systems; cycle defrost is suited to pharmacy and clinical environments where manual defrost scheduling is impractical but where the precise set-point-controlled defrost protection of the ARES Cool CAD system on the combo units is not required for the refrigerator application.

How does this unit compare to the ARES Cool 23 cu. ft. Stainless Steel Pharmacy Refrigerator?

Both the PH-ARS-HC-23G and the PH-ARS-HC-SSP-23G provide 23 cu. ft. of large-capacity pharmaceutical refrigeration in a glass door upright cabinet with casters; the stainless steel model (PH-ARS-HC-SSP-23G) features a stainless steel exterior for enhanced cleanability and corrosion resistance, a 1°C to 10°C verified temperature range, a self-closing door, forced draft air circulation, and ETL listing with UL471 and ASHRAE compliance — and carries a five-year compressor warranty; the PH-ARS-HC-23G uses a standard (non-stainless) construction with cycle defrost and carries a three-year compressor warranty, making it the consideration for buyers where stainless steel construction and the longer compressor warranty are not selection requirements.

Does this unit require special electrical installation?

The PH-ARS-HC-23G operates on a standard 115V AC circuit with ETL listing for NRTL safety compliance, making it deployable without dedicated circuit upgrades in pharmacy dispensing areas, hospital medication rooms, clinical laboratory cold storage areas, and research laboratory refrigeration environments; facilities should confirm amperage draw with ARES Scientific and plan standard airflow clearance around the unit, and should account for the cabinet footprint (26.875 in W × 34.75 in D, 81.75 in H on casters) and floor load when planning initial placement and repositioning.
