DOMETIC HC 502 medicine refrigerator
This high-quality refrigerator is specially designed for the safe storage of heat-sensitive medicines. It is characterised by a constant cooling temperature and a robust, user-friendly design. This appliance is primarily used in pharmacies, hospitals and research laboratories to reliably protect medicines in the long term. Compared to similar products on the market, it impresses with its efficient compressor, particularly clear storage and additional safety functions such as the acoustic warning signal.
Reliable refrigeration technology for medical applications
The HC 502 offers a temperature operating range of +2 °C to +8 °C, which is primarily suitable for storing temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals. Thanks to its energy-efficient compressor cooling, the interior temperature remains stable even at high ambient temperatures. Thanks to the integrated fan, the cold is distributed evenly so that sensitive active ingredients can be stored safely and easily accessible in three metal drawers with roller bearings. An illuminated digital thermometer built into the door allows the interior to be checked quickly, with the min/max values being saved automatically.
Additional benefits include increased security: the appliance has a door lock with two keys. If the door remains open for longer than 20 seconds, a warning signal sounds. This minimises temperature losses and protects valuable preparations. The LED interior lighting allows the contents to be clearly recognised at all times.
Technical highlights
- External dimensions (H × W × D): 592 × 486 × 494 mm
- Energy consumption: approx. 0.44 kWh/24 h
- Fixed internal temperature: 5 °C (adjustable in the range +2 °C to +8 °C)
- Compressor cooling for constantly low temperature levels
- Door lock with alarm function and integrated thermometer
- 3 drawers with 3/4 extension for organised storage

These features make it an ideal solution for storing medicines such as vaccines, insulin or certain laboratory reagents within a defined temperature range. The model is used in many areas where strict storage regulations apply. Typically, the medicine refrigerator can also be integrated under work surfaces and, thanks to its compact format, fits into almost any practice or laboratory set-up to save space.
The manufacturer BPV bases its production on common requirements for pharmaceutical refrigerators. As a rule, corresponding refrigerators are designed in accordance with DIN 58345 or comparable standards to ensure consistent cooling performance. The appliance is also CE-certified, which underpins additional safety and quality standards.
Concrete application examples
- Storage of heat-sensitive vaccines in doctors' surgeries and clinics
- Storage of blood products, provided the temperature requirements are suitable
- Safe storage of antibiotics in pharmacies to maintain effectiveness and shelf life
- Temperature-stable storage of insulin in diabetes centres
This refrigerator is a reliable solution for protecting medicines from temperature fluctuations in all of the above scenarios. Whether pharmaceutical research, hospital laboratory or medical care centre: the refrigerator can be used flexibly and ensures maximum safety.
FAQs
How often should the temperature be checked
?
Thanks to the integrated digital thermometer with min/max memory, a daily visual check is recommended. This means that any deviations can be recognised quickly.
What happens if the door is accidentally left open
After 20 seconds, an acoustic warning signal sounds, indicating that the door should be closed. This keeps the internal temperature stable and the stored medication is not jeopardised.
Is it possible to change the door hinge?
According to the technical specifications, this model does not allow an interchangeable door hinge. Plan accordingly when selecting the location.
What maintenance measures are necessary?
Regular cleaning of the seals and drawers ensures hygiene. Dust should also be removed from the appliance at regular intervals, especially around the ventilation slots on the compressor, to ensure optimum cooling performance is maintained.
How can different active ingredients be stored clearly organised?
The three metal drawers with 3/4 extension are designed to store several categories of medication separately and easily accessible. Transparent panels provide a quick overview.
Conclusion
The HC 502 offers an ideal combination of high performance, energy efficiency and safe storage that is specially tailored to the requirements of the medical environment. The combination of precise cooling technology, practical drawer system, integrated digital thermometer and warning signals makes this solution extremely reliable for storing sensitive medicines and laboratory reagents. Anyone looking for a reliable, easy-to-use and standard-compliant refrigeration solution will find a convincing overall package here.
