| Summary: | In marine refrigeration and air conditioning, refrigerants like R-12, R-22
and R-502 are most commonly used.
Due to environmetal challenges, marine refrigeration plants on board of
the old vessels have to be updated and designed in new terms.
Recently, the global warming problem has put new pressure on
possible alternatives, as R-134a for R-12, and drawn attention to
energy efficiency.
Results and theoretical considerations concerning a retrofit project are
discussed with respect to R-134a compared with R-12, a traditional
refrigerant on board of old ships. |
