Specifications

Ambient Room Temperature & Refrigeration Sizing, Read Before You Order

The temperature of the room around your cooler matters as much as the cooler itself. Every refrigeration system rejects heat into that room. The hotter the room, the longer the compressor runs, and the harder it is to hold a steady 34–40°F . Standard refrigeration is sized for a conditioned, ventilated indoor room . If your space runs warm, upsize the refrigeration when you order.

Why ambient temperature is critical

• Holding temperature: an undersized system in a hot room cannot recover after each door opening, so box temperature drifts above 40°F.
• Compressor life: long, continuous run times in high heat wear out the compressor and fans early.
• Condensation & humidity: warm, humid rooms produce more condensate. Connect the drain line, and route it to the external drain or a condensate pump.

How to choose

• Account for heat from nearby equipment, sun-facing walls, bay doors and how often the cooler is opened.
• Keep the required clearances: 1″–1.5″ around the cabinet and 16″ above and around the compressor. A blocked compressor behaves like a hot room.
• Install indoors only. Unconditioned garages, mechanical rooms and rooms next to crematory retorts need a review before ordering, call 1-888-792-9315.

If the room runs warmer than 75°F, choose a Refrigeration Upsize option above.

Important, Read Before Startup: 2026 Packaged Refrigeration System

Due to the changing refrigerant models under new Freon regulations and updated guidelines, it is critical that you completely read all startup instructions before using your packaged refrigeration system. Please be sure you understand your startup settings and the proper overflow and humidity drainage ports, which require hose adapters.

Condensation Drain Requirement

All 2026 Heatcraft compressors require a drain hose attached to the drain port for condensation, to maximize energy efficiency. Connect the supplied drain line to the drain port before startup.

External Drain Connection

In high-humidity environments or during continuous heavy run-times, the unit may experience overflow. To prevent this, the indoor unit is equipped with a 3/4″ NPT external drain connection that can be routed to an external drain line or a field-supplied condensate pump.

Internal Re-Evaporation

Indoor PRO³ models include a hot-gas re-evaporation pan beneath the compressor, which uses hot refrigerant gas to evaporate condensation naturally during normal operation.

2026 and Forward, Heatcraft PRO³

2026 and later packaged Heatcraft PRO³ systems include many new features made possible by an extremely high-efficiency process. Reviewing the startup documentation ensures these systems perform as designed.

American Mortuary Coolers accepts no liability or responsibility for a customer's failure to properly start up the new AW2 fully packaged, plug-in refrigeration units. If you have specific questions regarding functions and operations, please reach out prior to ordering.
