📊 Understanding the 404A Pressure Temperature Chart
A pressure temperature (PT) chart shows the relationship between the saturation pressure of 404A refrigerant and its corresponding temperature.
Funeral homes, morgues, and universities need this information to:
-
Maintain correct refrigeration temperatures for body storage.
-
Ensure compliance with health and safety regulations.
-
Diagnose system performance issues.
For example:
-
At -20°F, 404A has a pressure of about 13.3 psi.
-
At +40°F, 404A has a pressure of about 72.9 psi.
-
At +100°F, the pressure rises to around 196.4 psi.
Understanding this chart ensures walk-in mortuary coolers maintain proper body storage temperatures (typically 34°F – 40°F).
🏗️ Why 404A Matters for Walk-In Mortuary Coolers

⚠️ 404A Regulations and Transitioning
While 404A remains common in 2025, there are ongoing discussions about transitioning to newer refrigerants with lower GWP (Global Warming Potential).
But for funeral directors and hospitals, 404A continues to be the most reliable refrigerant in mortuary coolers — and we provide guidance on proper operation and maintenance using PT charts.
