The main purpose of ship’s refrigeration plant is to avoid any damage to the cargo

or perishable material so that it is transported in good and healthy condition.

Main Components of Refrigeration plants


Any refrigeration unit works with different components inline to each other in
series. The main components are:
1. Compressor: Reciprocating single or two stage compressor is commonly used
for compressing and supplying the refrigerant to the system.
2. Condenser: Shell and tube type condenser is used to cool down the refrigerant
in the system.
3. Receiver: The cooled refrigerant is supplied to the receiver, which is also used
to drain out the refrigerant from the system for maintenance purpose.
4. Drier: The drier connected in the system consists of silica gel to remove any
moisture from the refrigerant
5. Solenoids: Different solenoid valves are used to control the flow of refrigerant
into the hold or room. Master solenoid is provided in the main line and other
solenoid is present in all individual cargo hold or rooms.
6. Expansion valve: An Expansion valve regulates the refrigerants to maintain the
correct hold or room temperature.
7. Evaporator unit: The evaporator unit act as a heat exchanger to cool down the
hold or room area by transferring heat to the refrigerant.
8. Control unit: The control unit consist of different safety and operating circuits
for safe operation of the refer plant.

Working of Ship’s Refrigeration Plant

The compressor acting as a circulation pump for refrigerant has two safety
cut-outs- Low pressure (LP) and High Pressure (HP) cut outs.
LP or low pressure cut out is controlled automatically i.e. when the suction
pressure drops, the compressor stops and when the suction pressure rises again, the
control system starts the compressor.
The hot compressed liquid is passed to a receiver through a condenser to
cool it down. The receiver can be used to collect the refrigerant when any major
repair work has to be performed.
The thermostatic expansion valve supplies the correct amount of refrigerants
to evaporators where the refrigerants takes up the heat from the room and boils off
into vapours resulting in temperature drop for that room.
This is how temperature is maintained in the refrigeration plant of the ship.
Common Troubles
Compressor Starts But Stops immediately
The compressor is Running Continuously
High Compressor Discharge Temperature
Reduced Cooling Capacity
Reducing oil level in the compressor
Worn out piston rings/ liner leading to oil
carryover in the system
Nozzle or filter clogged
The leak in the discharge valve leads to the
generation of heat
Malfunctioning solenoid or TEV
Excessive suction temperature due to less
refrigerant in the circuit
Refrigerant not sufficient for cooling evaporator
Insufficient or damaged insulation in the room
The lube oil level is below the required level
Thermostat low-pressure cut-out not activated at
low temperature/ pressure
