Where it fits in the upright cooler line

The 12-Body Triple-Door is the top of the upright cooler line. Step down to the 10 Body Dual-Door Upright for the next capacity tier, or the 6 Body Dual-Door for mid-capacity workflow.

When floor area allows a walk-in, the 8×16 walk-in (14-body) and 10×16 walk-in (14-body) offer comparable capacity. Sizing methodology: size guide.

Why three doors

Three-door access is the cold-loss control answer to 12-body density. A single-door 12-body cabinet loses the entire compartment to ambient on every retrieval — triple-door isolates each retrieval to a 4-body compartment, which matters at high case-cycle facilities where door open events run 15–30 times per shift.

The independent compartments also allow zone segregation — active case holding in one zone, long-term storage in another, hold-for-pickup in the third.

Refrigeration and engineering

At 12-body capacity the refrigeration load tier strongly favors remote-split Copeland scroll or Heatcraft systems with outdoor condensing units. The custom-built line handles remote-condenser configurations.

ASTM E84 Class A flame spread matters under county morgue requirements and state body-storage code.

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.
