Safety Refrigerators

Flammable liquids such as methanol, acetone, ether, and others should be stored in a safety refrigerator rather than a lab refrigerator to reduce the risk of fire and explosion due to sparks between fluorescent lights/fan motor and the volatile gases these fluids generate. Safety refrigerators have explosion-safe incandescent lights and air circulation fans driven by a rotor from an exterior motor. No electrical source on these models is less than 48" off the floor, per OSHA requirements. They are designed for the safe, cold storage of volatile fluids in an OSHA Division II location (non-volatile, non-explosive rooms). Three models are available and most options from the Accessories Sheet may be added to Safety Refrigerators.
