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.

Why three doors, engineering & cot compatibility
Three-door access: Confirm rack layout, internal partitions and refrigeration airflow on the selected build. Separate doors do not establish independent sealed or temperature-controlled zones.
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.
Where it fits: the top of the upright cooler line. Step down to the 10 Body Dual-Door Upright or the 6 Body Dual-Door. 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.
Cot and tray compatibility: Confirm the selected cot or tray envelope, clear door opening, threshold, rack obstructions and loading method with AMC before ordering. Product links identify companion equipment, not a guaranteed fit.

How many bodies does the 12-Body Triple-Door cooler hold?
Twelve cadavers across three four-tier storage positions, subject to the approved rack configuration.
Why triple-door instead of single-door?

Do I need a drain line?
In high-humidity or high-temperature environments, yes — attach a hose to the external drain connection and route to a drainage source. Full details on the packaged refrigeration manuals page.
What’s the lead time?
