Thermo Scientific has “Gone Green”

2014 MSU Greening the Supply Chain

New technologies and processes to reduce the overall energy usage, during manufacturing and use of our Thermo Lab Equipment, ULT’s, BSC’s, Cold Storage

2

We continue to benchmark our progress on energy and emissions through annual participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project.  A great example of operational excellence is our Thermo Scientific site in Asheville, North Carolina, which has reduced landfill waste by 50 percent and is on track to achieve Zero Waste Certification in 2015. The facility was honored twice in 2013 for excellence and efficiency in business operations and sustainability— including winning the Industry Week award for being one of the best plants in the U.S.

Commitment to continuously improve operations and processes

This year, we recently completed our acquisition of Life Technologies, which has a strong history of sustainable performance, including:  

• Achieving Zero Waste certification at 7 major sites

• Lowering carbon dioxide emissions by 30% through clean-energy fuel cell systems

• Saving 60,000 polystyrene coolers annually by converting qualified products from cold to ambient shipping.

Choosing the Right Ultra Low Temperature Freezer

• Ultra low temperature freezers (ULT’s) are used in most research laboratories to store blood, drugs, enzymes, viruses, bacteria, cell preparations, chemicals, DNA, and biological samples.

• In order to maintain safe storage at temperatures as low as -86C, these freezers utilize a sophisticated dual compressor refrigeration system.

• In the past, little to no attention was paid to how much energy these ULT’s used with the focus being on performance. A ULT can actually use as much energy as a small home over the course of a year.

• The recent focus on sustainability has shined a bright light on the energy usage of high energy use laboratory equipment like ULT’s.

• With that in mind, suppliers of these units have recently focused on ways to reduce overall energy consumption while still maintaining the safety and performance required for protecting precious samples.

How is World Class Efficiency Achieved?

3. World Class Refrigeration System• Efficiently moves heat from inside the cabinet to the ambient

space.• Powerful! With plenty of reserve cooling capacity for a very low

DOR.• Reduces the amount of heat put into the lab which must be

removed by the HVAC system.

Heat out

2. Maximized Storage Volume• Thin walls allow for maximum storage space without

compromising on insulation and sample protection• Optimized cabinet dimensions – Designed to match our racks. • “Cold Box” moves HX from the cabinet wall to the deck.

3 parts to the equation1. Keep the heat out of the cabinet

2. Maximize the storage volume per footprint

3. Ultra efficient refrigeration system to move heat with enough

capacity to meet our customers performance needs

1. Well Insulated Cabinet & Door• Outstanding “7 x 4” door gasket.

• Smart design utilizing the most efficient vacuum panels.• Innovative thermal breaker doesn’t require extra heat to fight

Ability to Choose Energy Modes

Choose from High Performance and Energy Savings Modes

High Performance – For those customers needing ultra tight temperature tolerance this mode provides optimum temperature uniformity within the cabinet

Energy Savings – Saves an average of 15% in energy*.

* Compared to high-performance mode.

Total annual energy cost for 1 ULT ~ $1,267

Compare New technology to older technology over a 10 year period.

• New saves $7,396

• New saves 301 metric tons of CO2

The CO2 savings above for one UxF unit is equivalent to the CO2 output of 5.8 automobiles over 10 years !!!

Why Replace My Old ULT, It’s Working Just Fine?

• Typically older ULT’s are running 100% of the time due to aging and worn out parts.

• Over 10 years, 10 new units can save $83,000

• The new system design can yield 43% savings versus older ULT designs

• Over 10 years the new design will save 770,000 pounds of CO2 emission into the atmosphere

• The CO2 savings is equivalent to 6.7 cars over a 10-year period
