Types of Refrigerated Systems
COLD BRINE DIRECT
GRID COOLING SYSTEM
This system has similar refrigeration plant and a battery room with a
grid of brine pipes. Cooled air is extracted from the battery room and
blown into the cargo compartment through ducts. This cools the
cargo and the return air is recirculated to the battery room. This
system is more suitable for temperature regulated cargoes.
Floor battens should be laid in line with the air flow and
spaced according to the size of the cargo.
Wooden dunnage should be free from taint and bark.
For frozen goods, it is important that the dunnage is well
cooled before cargo is stowed on it.
Cargo should not come in contact with brine pipes.
After the compartments has been cleaned and pre-cooled,
the compartments must be inspected by an approved
surveyor and a loading certificate issued before any
cargo is loaded.
