Polar Power's DC Chest Style RR2
RR2 DC Chest Style The RR-2 maintains precision refrigeration and freezer temperatures, and can freeze large quantities of ice packs as required for the storage and transportation of vaccine, medical, and veterinary supplies. The RR-2 is prescribed for clinics that are located off the electric utility grid or their source of utility power is unreliable.

127 liter chest-type refrigerator/freezer. The RR-2 is primarily designed for storage of vaccines and medical supplies in very remote areas, or where heavy ice production is desired. The two independent compressors and their separate refrigeration circuitry provide twice the reliability and at the same time, improve efficiency. RR-2 comes standard with: removable divider that separates freezer and refrigerator compartments, built-in battery storage compartment (not available on other models), charge controller.

The RR-2 is preferred over kerosene and gas fueled absorption refrigerators because of is lower maintenance, higher reliability, and its independence from fuel sources. The RR-2 is safer because there are no burning flames or hot surfaces as required by absorption systems. Poor fuel quality, burner and wick maintenance, and keeping the refrigerator fueled are the reliability problems associated with absorption type refrigerators. RR-2 is safe from fire and explosion.
Meets WHO performance requirements, no exceptions.

FEATURES
- The refrigerator compartment is frost-free thereby lowering energy consumption and maintenance. Our frost-free feature is the result of a very large evaporator surface area and is not dependent on energy consuming heating elements or hot gas bypass. With the dual evaporator design defrosting freezer is not required as frequent as other products.
- Accessory terminal. A secondary battery bank can be connected to the RR-2 to power accessories as lighting, communications, medical instruments, educational programs, etc. A green light on the front control panel will signal that power has been switched to the accessory battery bank. This is accordance with WHO specifications.
- RR-2's base is constructed of aluminum with a durable powder coat finish. This design offers the maximum in corrosion resistance and lightweight.
- The double gasket seal between the lid and the cabinet increases systems efficiency.
- The movable dividers allow you to adjust the size of the refrigerator or freezer compartments. The divider may be removed entirely creating either a total refrigerator or freezer. Dividers measure 5cm wide.
- The dual refrigeration circuit design allow the user to switch off the freezer section and continue refrigeration section in order to save energy or have more energy available to operate other appliances.
- Molded polyethylene cabinet. The seamless one-piece base and lid is stress free, nonporous, and able to withstand great abuse. Since there are no internal seams inside the refrigerator, water can not leak into the insulation causing the materials to swell and crack over time (typical of many refrigerators).
- A brushless DC fan cools each condensing coil. The fan cooled condenser offers superior performance with the R134a CFC free refrigerants in warmer climates.
- Simple LED indication of system status:
The red led light indicates low battery voltage and that the refrigeration has shut down. Our simple diagnostics routine quickly locates the problem.
The green light indicates a full battery charge and a no refrigeration load requirement. The green light gives operator the knowledge that the system can produce more ice.
The yellow LED light warns the operator to stop ice production.

QUALIFICATION by NASA in 1981:
Solavolt International (a defunct partnership of Motorola and Shell Oil Company) had extensively tested RR-2 under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Lewis Research Center (NASA LeRC), contract DEN3-240.

Delivery is 8 to 10 weeks.
