When the door of the unit is opened, the VCC runs at a higher speed to deliver optimal temperature performance.  When the temperature stabilizes and normal operating conditions return, the VCC runs at a lower speed, resulting in lower energy consumption. GX medical-grade refrigerators are **50-65% more energy efficient** than conventional medical-grade refrigerators and GX medical-grade freezers are 30% more energy efficient than conventional medical-grade freezers. ![Variable Speed Chart_v3](https://info.helmerinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/LPs/Variable%20Speed%20Chart_v3.png?width=870&name=Variable%20Speed%20Chart_v3.png) #### Natural refrigerants (HCs) support environmental sustainability GX Solutions Refrigerators use R600a refrigerant and GX Solutions Freezers use R290 refrigerant. - Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) compliant - Decreased global warming potential (GWP) ### GX Solutions Refrigerators GWP ![Global Warming Potential Chart_v2](https://info.helmerinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/LPs/Global%20Warming%20Potential%20Chart_v2.png?width=923&name=Global%20Warming%20Potential%20Chart_v2.png) ### GX Solutions Freezers GWP ![Global Warming Potential - Freezers](https://info.helmerinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Global%20Warming%20Potential%20-%20Freezers.png?width=879&name=Global%20Warming%20Potential%20-%20Freezers.png)   ### Learn More **GX Solutions** [Pharmacy Refrigerators](https://www.helmerinc.com/search?search%5B0%5D=product_type%3A241) [Blood Bank Refrigerators](https://www.helmerinc.com/search?search%5B0%5D=product_type%3A71) [Laboratory Refrigerators](https://www.helmerinc.com/search?search%5B0%5D=product_type%3A96) [Laboratory Freezers](https://www.helmerinc.com/search?search%5B0%5D=product_type%3A101) [Plasma Freezers](https://www.helmerinc.com/search?search%5B0%5D=product_type%3A76) ## [Products](http://www.helmerinc.com/products/index.html) - **Hospital** - [Clinical Laboratory](http://www.helmerinc.com/products/pharmacy.html) - [Pharmacy](http://www.helmerinc.com/products/pharmacy.html) - [Blood Bank/Transfusion Service](http://www.helmerinc.com/products/blood-banktransfusion-service.html) - [Blood Center](http://www.helmerinc.com/products/blood-center.html) - [Intensive Care](http://www.helmerinc.com/products/intensive-care.html) - [Nursing](http://www.helmerinc.com/products/nursing.html) - [BioMed](http://www.helmerinc.com/products/biomed.html) - [All Hospital](http://www.helmerinc.com/products/all-hospital.html) - **Clinic** - [Health Department](http://www.helmerinc.com/products/health-department.html) - [Clinic](http://www.helmerinc.com/products/clinic.html) - [Physicians Office](http://www.helmerinc.com/products/physicians-office.html) - [All Clinic](http://www.helmerinc.com/products/all-clinic.html) - **Research** - [University](http://www.helmerinc.com/products/university.html) - [Government/NIH](http://www.helmerinc.com/products/government-nih.html) - [All Research](http://www.helmerinc.com/products/all-research.html) - [Support](https://www.helmerinc.com/knowledge-center) - [Get a Quote](https://www.helmerinc.com/quote-request) - [Helmer Store](https://www.helmerinc.com/search?search%5B0%5D=product_category%3Adisposables&search%5B1%5D=product_category%3Aparts_and_accessories) - [Distributor Locator](https://www.helmerinc.com/distributor-locator) - [Knowledge Center](https://www.helmerinc.com/knowledge-center) - [Service Request](https://www.helmerinc.com/technical-support) - [Regulatory & Compliance](https://www.helmerinc.com/regulatory-compliance) - [Supplier Resources](https://www.helmerinc.com/supplier-resources) - [Distributor Resources](https://www.helmerinc.com/user/login?destination=/distributor-resources) - [Purchasing Organizations](https://www.helmerinc.com/purchasing-organizations) - [Government Sales (GSA)](https://www.helmerinc.com/purchasing-organizations) - [Partner Organizations](https://www.helmerinc.com/purchasing-organizations) - [Company](https://www.helmerinc.com/about-us) - [About](https://www.helmerinc.com/about-us) - [BlueView Blog](https://blog.helmerinc.com) - [Careers](https://www.helmerinc.com/careers) - [Upcoming Events](https://www.helmerinc.com/tradeshow-schedule) - [Contact Us](https://www.helmerinc.com/contact-us) - [Responsibility](https://www.helmerinc.com/making-impact) - [Generosity](https://www.helmerinc.com/making-impact) - [Safety & Wellness](https://www.helmerinc.com/safety-and-wellness) - [Workplace](https://www.helmerinc.com/safety-and-wellness) - [Sustainability](https://www.helmerinc.com/sustainability) - [Home](http://www.helmerinc.com/index.html) - [Distributor Resources](http://www.helmerinc.com/support/distributor-resources/index.html) - [Site Map](http://www.helmerinc.com/sitemap.xml) - [Privacy Policy](http://www.helmerinc.com/privacy-policy.html) - [Terms of Use](http://www.helmerinc.com/terms-of-use.html) - [Contact Us](http://www.helmerinc.com/company/contact-directions/index.html) © 2024 Helmer Scientific.
