The RCB 42 P is a thermostabilizer designed for storing and transporting pre-cooled blood and medicinal products over long periods of time. The refrigerating unit operates with nearly all types of electricity (DC/AC). The RCB 42 P ensures mobility and provides all the services of a blood bank refrigerator. The RCB 42 P provides huge storage capacity. It can contain up to thirty 500 ml whole blood bags. It is standard-equipped with 2 plastic-laminated wire baskets that facilitate handling. The forced-air refrigeration system ensures a constant, even temperature.
A thermoelectric unit (Peltier block ) together with an electronic control unit keeps the temperature in the cool box constant. The thermoelectric unit is switched automatically from cooling to heating , depending on the ambient temperature. The perfect insulation ensures the temperature in the cool box to be kept constant for up to 10 hours when transporting or storing items without power supply at an ambient temperature of +32 °C. The temperature within the container can be thus maintained at a preset temperature of +1 °C to +10 °C regardless of external climatic conditions. This is even applicable at ambient temperatures of –32 °C to +44 °C. The internal temperature can be displayed by an optional temperature recorder located in the container. Because of its interference suppression the RCB 42 P is also operable in airplanes.
