UPAYA PREVENTIF DALAM PERAWATAN KOMPONEN REFRIGERATOR PROVISION PLANT GUNA MENJAGA KETAHANAN DAN KUALITAS BAHAN MAKANAN DI LNG/C ENERGY FRONTIER

Abstract

Gani, Firhan Arya. 2025. "Preventive Efforts In the Maintenance of Refrigerator Provision Plant Components to Preserve the Durability and Quality of Food Supplies on LNG/C Energy Frontier” The Quality and preservation of food supplies on board a vessel heavily depend on the performance of the refrigeration system, know as the refrigerator provision plant. This system functions to mantain proper storage temperatures,particulary for perishable animal- and plant based food items. This study aims to identify and analyze components to address issues such as unstable temperatures, frost buildup on evaporator pipes, and low suction pressure in the compressor. The research is based on practical experience aboard the LNG/C Energy Frontier, where problems such as coil pipe leakage and abnormal compressor shutdown due to low suction pressure were encountered. The findings are expected to contribute both theoretically and practically to the maintenance of ship refrigeration systems, thereby ensuring food quality and supporting crew welfare
