2.1.2.Emptying used Refrigerant to Pressure Vessel

from Refrigerant Bag

Connect the suction valve on the emptying unit with hose to the outlet valve on the emptying rack for refrigerant bags. Open the main valve and the valve for the bags to be emptied.

Connect the pressure valve on the emptying unit to the vessel for used refrigerant. This hose is to have a closing valve when connected to the emptying unit.

When the required bag(s) haslhave been emptied the pressure sensitive switch will stop the emptying unit. In case air should enter the vessel causing the pressure to rise the pressure sen- sitive switch will also stop the emptying unit and the pressure vessel should be bled. (Can be bled by means of the bleeder valve on the emptying unit.)

Make sure to observe all existing rules concerning the recovery of used refrigerant and the contents allowed for the vessel - approx. 75% of the weight stated on the vessel.

Note the specifications stated on the refrigerant bags - e.g.:

Refrigerant bag for R12

or R134a

Contents max. 250 g

200 g

Temperature max. +60C

375 specifications

Equator 375 is a state-of-the-art maritime vessel that has garnered significant attention in the shipping and logistics industry due to its innovative design and advanced technologies. This vessel is specifically engineered to meet the growing demands of global trade while minimizing environmental impact.

One of the standout features of the Equator 375 is its impressive cargo capacity. With a deadweight tonnage of 37,500 tons, this vessel can accommodate a wide variety of cargo types, including bulk goods, containers, and project cargo. Its versatile design makes it suitable for multiple shipping routes, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing transit times.

Equator 375 is equipped with cutting-edge propulsion technology. It utilizes a dual-fuel engine that can run on both heavy fuel oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG). This flexibility allows the vessel to operate more sustainably, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and complying with international regulations. By adopting LNG as a fuel source, the Equator 375 contributes to a cleaner maritime environment, helping to meet stringent emission targets.

In terms of navigation, the vessel features an advanced integrated bridge system that enhances operational safety and efficiency. The system includes state-of-the-art radar, automatic identification systems (AIS), and electronic chart display systems (ECDIS). These technologies ensure that crew members have access to real-time data, improving situational awareness and decision-making during voyages.

Equator 375 also prioritizes crew comfort and safety. The living quarters are designed ergonomically, with modern amenities to provide a comfortable environment for the crew during long voyages. Safety equipment is installed throughout the vessel, including fire suppression systems and life-saving appliances, ensuring that crew members are protected in case of emergencies.

Moreover, the vessel is designed with an eco-friendly hull shape, reducing water resistance and optimizing fuel efficiency. This hydrodynamic design contributes to lower operating costs, making Equator 375 not only a technologically advanced vessel but also a cost-effective option for shipping companies.

In summary, the Equator 375 is a remarkable addition to the maritime fleet, featuring impressive cargo capacity, advanced propulsion technology, and a focus on crew comfort and safety. Its eco-friendly design and innovative navigation systems position it as a leader in sustainable maritime transportation, paving the way for the future of shipping.
