Reduce Energy Consumption with Haier Biomedical UltraEco ULT Freezers
Energy-efficient ultra-low temperature storage for the modern laboratory
Ultra-low temperature (ULT) freezers provide reliable long-term storage for valuable biological samples, research materials and other temperature-sensitive products. However, operating continuously at -80°C can make them a significant contributor to laboratory energy consumption.
As laboratories seek to reduce running costs and improve their carbon footprint, choosing an energy-efficient ULT freezer can make a meaningful difference.
The Haier Biomedical UltraEco ULT freezer range is designed to reduce electricity consumption while maintaining the dependable Ultra Low-Temperature storage required for critical samples.
Leading the way in ENERGY STAR efficiency
The energy-saving performance of the UltraEco range is independently demonstrated through ENERGY STAR certification, which allows laboratories to compare the efficiency of certified refrigeration equipment.
The latest ENERGY STAR data places multiple Haier ULT freezers as the leading models. The Haier Biomedical UltraEco DW-86L730BPT, for example, has a reported energy consumption of just 4.16 kWh/day, making it one of the most energy-efficient large-capacity ULT freezers available.

Designed to reduce ULT freezer energy consumption
The UltraEco range incorporates several technologies designed to reduce energy use and operating costs:
· Energy-efficient refrigeration technology – frequency conversion helps optimise compressor operation according to cooling requirements.
· Hydrocarbon refrigerants – naturally occurring refrigerants with very low global warming potential help reduce environmental impact and reduces energy consumption.
· Advanced insulation – minimises heat transfer and helps maintain ultra-low temperatures, HFC free and non-ozone depleting.
· Optimised structural design – the refrigeration system and cabinet work together to improve overall efficiency.
The UltraEco design can reduce operating costs by up to 50% compared with other modern freezers. It also offers faster temperature recovery, improved re-entry time and reduced noise. Compared to an older freezer (u570 NBS etc) it will be around 4 - 5x more efficient. Meaning you could run 5 UltraEco freezers on the same amount of energy as anything that’s 10-15 years old.
What could an energy-efficient freezer mean for your laboratory?
A ULT freezer operates continuously, so its energy consumption can significantly affect its total cost of ownership. For laboratories running several -80°C freezers, even small differences in daily consumption can generate substantial savings over time.
A more energy-efficient freezer can help laboratories:
· Reduce electricity consumption and running costs
· Lower the carbon footprint of sample storage
· Support sustainability and net-zero initiatives
· Reduce the long-term cost of essential cold storage
· Maintain reliable -80°C sample storage
Compare your current freezer with UltraEco
Haier Biomedical’s energy comparison calculator helps laboratories assess the potential savings from replacing existing freezers with selected UltraEco models.
A product specialist can guide you through the calculator, comparing daily and annual energy consumption, running costs and potential long-term savings. This can support replacement programmes, equipment business cases and wider energy-reduction plans.
Simple maintenance and defrosting
Regular maintenance helps support efficient, reliable freezer operation. The UltraEco range is designed for straightforward everyday use with minimal maintenance requirements.
Many customers also purchase the Izibio IziDefrost+ Defrosting Vacuum, which is designed to make routine defrosting quicker and easier.
