Only the name. There is no technical difference. The certification that the freezers have is the same, and they are both designed to prevent the combustion of volatile vapors both inside and out. We suspect that the decision to call them "hazardous location" rather than "explosion-proof" was one made by a lawyer. After all, if you used explosives, you could undoubtedly blow up an "explosion-proof" freezer. Don't try it, though.   Are the American Biotech Supply Hazardous Location Freezers also suitable for flammable materials storage?  Yes. The ABS Hazardous Location Freezers are designed to be completely spark-free inside and out and all electrical components are sealed.   Can the shelves be removed or can the freezer be built without shelves in it? No. The fixed shelves are permanently in place and cannot be moved nor can the unit be built without the shelves, as refrigerant lines run through the shelves to help ensure greater temperature uniformity throughout the chamber.   The product description says that the temperature is adjustable, but also that the thermostat is "sealed in UL listed explosion proof box." Will I be able to get into the box to adjust the temperature? Yes, you can open the box and change the setting. This will not affect the warranty or the explosion proof properties of the unit as long as you properly close the box (which means not cross-threading the lid and tightening it appropriately).   What is the weight limit of the shelves? Each of the shelves will hold 50 lbs of dispersed weight.
