A Point of View on How to Achieve a More Sustainable Marine Refrigerated Transport
Abstract
It is specific for our modern society to consume an important amount of food transported from one part of the earth to another. A sustainable refrigerated transport is described by indicators like profitability, product quality, technological change, and environmental impact. Sustainable development is connected with the minimisation of irreversibilities. This is why exergy analysis is used as a powerful tool to obtain sustainable development. In this context, this chapter deals with the exergy analysis specific to the most common type of refrigerating plants on board ships. Regulations on old refrigerants, inducing technological change, are presented along with solutions for the replacement of the refrigerant R-22. The chapter also mentions the fishing industry where ammonia is the dominant refrigerant.
