Mortuary refrigerators, also known as mortuary coolers or body storage cabinets, operate on the same basic principles as standard refrigeration systems but are specifically designed to maintain a controlled environment for the preservation of human remains. Here’s how they work:
1. Temperature Control
Mortuary refrigerators are equipped with a precise temperature control system that maintains an internal temperature typically between 2°C to 4°C (35°F to 39°F). This temperature range is ideal for slowing down the natural decomposition process, preserving the body for extended periods.
The cooling system is powered by a compressor, which circulates a refrigerant (such as R134a or R404a) through a closed-loop system. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the interior of the cabinet and releases it outside, effectively lowering the temperature inside.
2. Air Circulation
To ensure uniform cooling, mortuary refrigerators are designed with an internal fan system. This system circulates cold air evenly throughout the cabinet, preventing temperature fluctuations and ensuring consistent preservation conditions.
Proper air circulation also helps reduce the risk of moisture buildup, which can lead to unwanted odors or bacterial growth.
3. Insulation
The walls, doors, and floor of the refrigerator are constructed with high-density insulation materials, such as polyurethane foam. This insulation minimizes heat transfer from the external environment, ensuring energy efficiency and maintaining a stable internal temperature.
4. Hygiene and Odor Control
Mortuary refrigerators are designed with stainless steel interiors, which are easy to clean and disinfect. This material is also resistant to corrosion and odors, ensuring a hygienic environment.
Some models are equipped with UV light systems or ozone generators to further reduce bacteria and eliminate odors, maintaining a clean and respectful storage space.
5. Safety Features
Modern mortuary refrigerators include alarm systems to alert users in case of temperature deviations or power failures. This ensures that any issues are addressed promptly to prevent spoilage.
6. Customizable Storage Options
Depending on the model, mortuary refrigerators may feature adjustable shelving or roll-out trays to accommodate bodies of different sizes. This flexibility ensures efficient use of space and ease of access.
