Flammable Materials Storage Units
Overview
Conventional refrigerators and freezers are not suitable for
storing flammable materials. Such units have components in
their electrical and refrigeration systems that can trigger
explosions of flammable air-vapor mixtures inside the unit.
Flammable Materials Storage (FMS) refrigerators/freezers are
designed for use in locations, which are not classified by the
Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) as hazardous. Under
normal operating conditions the build up or presence of
flammable vapors will not occur in the environment external to
the unit. (Commonly known as “Ordinary Locations”).
FMS units are NOT designed for use in Class I, Groups
C and D environments, which require an Explosion-
Proof Refrigerator/Freezer.
FMS units are designed and evaluated by Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) to meet the requirements of the National
Fire Protection Association Standards Nos. 45, 70 and 99.
These units have no internal electrical components that could
trigger an explosion or fire of hazardous materials inside the
unit.
These units are ideal for storing cyclopropane, ethyl ether,
ethylene, acetone, alcohol, benzene, butane, gasoline,
hexane, lacquer solvent vapors, naphtha, natural gas or
propane along with many other potentially hazardous
materials.
All models have heavy-gauge, rigid, steel construction with a
durable enamel finish. Interiors have epoxy enamel or ABS
plastic construction. Each unit is insulated throughout for
energy-efficient operation.
