Natural refrigerants in refrigerated seawater systems on fishing vessels.

Summary

Refrigerated seawater systems (RSW) are commonly used in fishing vessels for cooling of harvested pelagic fish. The catch is cooled down to approximately -1 °C in large seawater tanks. In Norway, several of these RSW systems are working with ammonia as refrigerant, but carbon dioxide is introduced as an alternative and installed on a fishing vessel with good results. There are still many fishing vessels with RSW systems using refrigerant R22. This paper describes possibilities of using natural refrigerants instead of fluorocarbons, for example R22, in RSW systems on fishing boats.
