Mopec MERC System™ (Mortuary Enhanced Remains Cooling)

Description

• Description The Mopec MERC System™ was developed working closely with military, federal and state agencies, and private firms to address the need for cadaver cooling during a natural or man-made disaster resulting in mass fatalities
• The Mopec MERC System™ is the first direct contact cooling system using liquid cooling technology to store human remains, and is the only human remains recovery system that is completely portable, scalable and interoperable
• The Mopec MERC System™ is one of the most efficient human remains cooling solutions on the market, and in many cases eliminates the need for large, stationary coolers, or refrigeration units
• Temporary Body Storage Beyond Capacity The portability and scalability of the MERC System™ make it the ideal solution where physical space or budgetary constraints require an alternative to traditional morgue refrigeration
• The TCS Series 3 unit provides the ability to increase cooling capacity by 1-8 bodies within minutes
• With the direct contact cooling method, the MERC System can bring down the core temperature of the cadaver much quicker than the most air-driven cooling systems
• It is completely portable and can be used to turn any room into a morgue
• Mobile Morgue System Previously, the only equipment available to solve the issue of mass fatality cold storage was oversized walk-in refrigerators or refrigerated tractor trailers
• While both are functional solutions, they have drawbacks when responding to any mass fatality incident
• Local morgues, hospitals, and funeral homes can quickly reach capacity in the midst of disaster relief
• Preparedness for an emergency is critical to ensure that a community can respond quickly with all of the resources needed
• The Mopec MERC System™ was developed as a portable unit, a mobile morgue, and can be moved to the location of any event and quickly deployed in a warehouse, gym, tent, parking lot, or roadway
• It is the only portable morgue system available that does not use cold air to provide cooling for human remains
• Instead, the Mopec MERC System™ uses patented liquid cooling technology and specially designed cooling pads
• Mopec MERC Systems are low maintenance and can be fully operational in less than 15 minutes, providing cooling for up to 48 bodies
• How it Works The patented Mopec MERC System™ is a liquid-based cooling system, chilling the liquid down to an operator set temperature
• The liquid is then transferred through a system manifold and out to the cooling pad
• The liquid removes the heat from the body and returns the heated fluid to the system to be re-chilled and then is continually recirculated.
