REFRIGERATING INSTALLATION COVERED BY ADDITIONAL CLASS NOTATION REF (REF-CARGO, REF-CONT, REF-STORE) - ITEM M
Product certification
The requirements of NR467, Part E, Chapter 7 summarized in this item M are specific to permanently installed refrigerating installations and associated arrangements and are to be
considered additional to those specified in Pt C, Ch 1, Sec 13 (addressed in item G35) which are the minimum requirements mandatory for all ships with refrigerating installations
Individual pieces of equipment: shop tests are to be carried out on pumps, fans, electric motors and internal combustion engines forming parts of refrigerating installations, fol-
lowing procedures in accordance with the requirements applicable to each type of machinery. The relevant running data (capacity, pressure head, power and rotational speed,
M etc.) are to be recorded for each item
Pressure tests of components at the workshop include hydrostatic test (strength) and leak test (tightness) as per NR467, Part E, Chapter 7
At least one refrigerating unit of each type installed on board is to be subjected to shop tests in order to ascertain its refrigerating capacity in the most unfavourable temperature
conditions expected, or in other temperature conditions agreed by the Society
Where the complete unit cannot be shop tested (for instance, in the case of direct expansion installations), alternative test procedures are to be agreed with the Society
