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
