Optimal Refrigeration for Funeral Homes: A Comprehensive Guide

Matching Refrigeration to Your Facility's Needs

Selecting the ideal refrigeration system for your funeral home cooler, mortuary cooler, morgue cooler, or medical examiner facility depends heavily on your specific application and the expected traffic within your unit. We offer a range of refrigeration solutions, each with distinct advantages.

Refrigeration System Options:

• Remote Systems (Standard):
  • Most of our walk-in cooler models for funeral homes, mortuaries, and medical examiners include basic remote refrigeration systems as a standard feature.
  • The condensing unit can be located outside of a warm room or even the building, minimizing heat transfer.
  • These can be pre-assembled, but professional installation by a licensed technician is always required.
• Top Mount:
  • These self-contained systems are pre-equipped with all necessary components, including copper lines and refrigerant.
  • Evaporator fans are integrated within the capsule pak system, mounted on a ceiling panel cutout.
  • Ideal for applications where ease of installation is a priority.
• Penthouse Refrigeration:
  • Similar to top mount, but the evaporator coil is positioned outside the unit, maximizing internal space.
  • While slightly more expensive, the increased space and efficiency can provide long-term benefits.
  • Requires professional installation by a licensed technician.
• Roll-Up Refrigeration:
  • These systems are attached to the walk-in unit from the outside.
  • Though the evaporator coil is external, it impacts internal shelf space.
  • Professional installation by a licensed technician is necessary.
• Side Mount:
  • Installed within a side wall panel, similar to top mount systems.
  • Requires a condensation drain hose connected to a nearby drain.
  • Professional installation is mandatory.
• Saddle Mount:
  • Pre-assembled for easy side wall mounting.
  • Offers a "plug and play" installation experience.
  • Requires interior space for the blower.
• Compressor Considerations:
  • Avoid oversizing your compressor. Short cycling reduces efficiency and shortens compressor lifespan.
  • Match the compressor to the application and traffic of the cooler.

Application and Traffic Considerations:

• The best refrigeration type will depend on if the unit is a funeral home cooler, mortuary cooler, morgue cooler, or a medical examiner cooler.
• High traffic coolers will need a strong system, but not over powered.
• Low traffic coolers can use a less powerful system.
