Preservation
a. The preservation of the structure for internal compartments is to be in accordance with NES 763 for HM Surface Ships and NES 774 for Submarines. Care must be taken to ensure that dissimilar metals do not come into contact. To this end, suitable insulation material must be fitted to achieve separation. The use of wood is to be kept to a minimum but where used is to be treated with an approved combined fire retarding and preservation process (see also NES 188). All metal parts and fixings used inside or outside the cold room, where they are liable to be exposed to moisture, are to be corrosion resistant or adequately protected against corrosion. Internal linings are not to be painted and are to be left bright. On completion of fitting out, the compartment is to be thoroughly cleaned by washing with hot fresh water.

a. Phenolic foam in accordance with NES 803 Part 2 is the preferred insulating material for Refrigerated spaces whether these are builtin or of a modular construction. The material is to have a `K' value equal to or better than 0.02 W/metre/metre2 C. Approval to use alternatives to Phenolic foam must be obtained from the design authority prior to its use. NOTE Phenolic foam is currently only available from two suppliers, Cape Insulation and Kooltherm Ltd. It is also available from Naval stores on NSN 0414-5640-99-785-6233 and 6234.

4.1

b.

Refrigerated spaces are to be located in one centralized complex adjacent to the main galley, either on the same deck or in the same vertical plane with a connecting lift and are to form an integral part of the commissariat. Entry to the complex is to be via an insulated air lock to contain temperature rises and reduce the machinery workload. Where an air lock is not possible, thermal curtains are to be fitted inside the entrance to each compartment. Maximum utilization of space is essential in the Refrigerated spaces. Services and pipe runs are not to pass through the rooms. The areas of the storerooms are to be of regular shape with doors opening outwards and located as far as is practicable to offer maximum storage capacity. The internal capacities of refrigerated compartments are to take account of: (1) (2) (3) (4) Number of personnel accommodated; Endurance requirements; Consumption patterns; Allowance for adequate working space, chilled air circulation, essential pipework, unit coolers, shelving, gangways, access and maintenance envelopes.

c.

d.

e. f.

Accommodation figures and endurance requirements will be a feature of the Naval Staff Requirement and can be obtained from the contract sponsor. Where no separate dairy room is provided, eggs and cheese are to be kept in the cool room, but within a thinwalled stainless steel locker. This locker is to be fitted with adjustable shelves and a stainless steel mesh grille(s) of adequate size to facilitate air circulation. The above measures are designed to prevent cross tainting of foodstuffs. No guidance drawings are available; however, advice can be obtained from SSA/MDMS IPT. Fans and chillers must be capable of meeting the noise, vibration and shock requirements for the vessel in which they are to be fitted. Advice can be obtained from SSA/MAES IPT. Readyuse cool rooms and cabinets are to be capable of maintaining an internal temperature of 4C 2C. Current practice is to fit good quality commercial units with top mounted cooling machinery. Details of these units can be obtained from SSA/MDMS IPT, via the contract sponsor.

i. Plant Capacity: Heat load calculations can be difficult and very much dependent on the stored product and the reliability of the information used in the calculations. To this end, the method used for MOD(N) applications (calculating five separate factors) is to be as follows: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) Heat gain through insulation (structure); Product Load; Heat gain from equipment; Service Load; Ventilated Air load. (a) Heat gain through insulation (structure): These heat gains are to be calculated using the formula: W = SU  A (To- Ti) where: W = U= the heat gain through insulation in Watts. coefficient is the number of Watts passing through one square metre of insulated structure (including voids), per degree Celsius of temperature difference across each boundary. For new designs, the `U' value to be used for plant sizing is 0.5 W/m2C. the area of the boundary in m2. will normally be the air temperature within the adjacent compartment. However, when the room is immediately adjacent to the ship's side or upper deck in the sunshine, structural surface temperatures are to be used. The small effect on the `U' value can be ignored. the required temperature within the room.

A= To =

Ti =

The above calculation is to be performed for each flat surface and the heat gain/losses summed to produce a Nett figure. (b) Heat gains from Product Load: This heat gain is from stores which, at the time of loading into the refrigerated space are above the design temperature. It is to be calculated using the formula: Wp = VP where: Wp V P = the product load in Watts. = the room volume in m3. = the product coefficient in W/m3.

In the case of cold rooms, the product load is assumed to be at the cold room temperature and the product coefficient is NIL. In the case of cool rooms, the product coefficient is to be taken as 50 W/m3.

4.2

DEF STAN 02111/ ISSUE 2 (NES 111)

(c) Heat gains from equipment: This is predominantly the electrical load from fans, tape heaters and lighting. These losses are to be summed in Watts and are designated We. (d) Service Load: To provide a margin of performance covering cooling changes of air when doors are opened, heat from personnel and lighting, a Service Load equal to 20% of the Heat Gained through insulation (Structure), is to be allowed. This is to be designed Ws. (e) Ventilated Air Load: Compartments having a respiratory heat load are required to be ventilated as outlined in Section 4.4. The resultant heat gains are to be summed in Watts and are designated Wv. (f) Total Plant Capacity: The refrigeration plant is to have sufficient capacity to meet the heat load as calculated above, together with a margin for plant deterioration or fouling. PlantCapacity(kW) + (g) (W ) W p ) W e ) W s ) W v) 1000

The Refrigerating Plant is to be designed and tested in accordance with the requirements of NES 158.

4.2.1

On Board Construction
General Requirements a. b. c. Structural projections such as stiffeners, brackets, etc., are wherever possible to be fitted outside the compartment. Service leads, air escapes, pipes, etc., are to be led clear of these compartments. Prior to wall and crown insulation, provision is to be made for the installation and completion of: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) d. e. f. Distant reading thermometers; Power and lighting cables; Heat input test cables; Fresh air inlet and stale air outlet pipes; Refrigerant pipework.

For details of penetrations, reference is to be made to drawing SDN 006 052 121. Compartment penetrations are to be kept to a minimum by grouping similar items together. The floor insulation is to be Phenolic Foam of density 60 kg/m3 (see also Clause 4.1a.).

4.3

DEF STAN 02111 / ISSUE 2 (NES 111)

g. h. The wall and crown insulation is to be Phenolic Foam of density 35 kg/m3 (see also Clause 4.1a.). The minimum thickness of insulation in low temperature stores (Cold and Cool Rooms) is to be 150 mm for all boundaries, except divisional walls between refrigerated spaces where insulation can be reduced to 75 mm. Where structurally integrated readyuse cool rooms are fitted, their construction is to be as for the main refrigerated spaces. The outer doors to the refrigerated room are to be insulated and lined to the same standard as the compartment they serve. The compartment door is to be insulated with a Phenolic Foam of density 35 kg/m3. Cooler supports are to be suitably insulated to ensure there is no metallic contact between the lining and the ships structure. A suggested arrangement is as shown in Figure 4.1. Where structural pillars are within the refrigerated complex, they are to be insulated and enclosed within stainless steel sheeting with no sharp corners. The floor panel is to be flat with no undulations that might encourage water to collect in service, wall and crown bearers are to be of low thermal conductivity material with wood being kept to a minimum. The lining for the internal surfaces of the refrigerated spaces is to be stainless steel to BS 1449, Part 2, Grade 316 S13 and Grade 316 S33, secured with stainless steel screws. Approval to fit alternatives is to be obtained from the design authority prior to fitting. The deck is to be insulated with two layers of Phenolic Foam of density 60 kg/m3, each layer being 75 mm thick with the first layer being fitted under the floor bearers and the second (top) layer being fitted tightly between the bearers. The Phenolic Foam slabs are to be fitted tightly between frames/bearers so that no support is required to hold the slabs in position before fitting the lining. The floor linings are to be sufficiently rigid and secured to the low conductivity bearers to allow for rough usage during storing. A typical arrangement is shown in Figure 4.2. The floor is to be welded and worked in the form of a complete watertight tray with sides extending 300 mm above the level of the floor. The floor panel is to be flat with no undulations that might encourage water to collect in service and is not to exceed 10 mm deviation over the length or width of the space or in any other direction. Linings are to be as airtight as possible to prevent the ingress of vapour. Backing strips, secured to the floor bearers, are to be used in way of welded seams. Care must be taken to reduce damage to the insulation and bearers during welding. See Figure 4.3 and Figure 4.4. Insulation and linings are to be worked around any deep beams and brackets to provide the minimum thermal conductivity. Screw piercing of the lining for the attachment of fittings is to be kept to a minimum and where used they are to be coated with mastic. To prevent the movement of air or water vapour through joints, they are to be vapour sealed with a nonporous material.

a. The refrigerated complex is to be illuminated with incandescent watertight Wellglass fittings, in accordance with the requirements of NES 587 Part 1 or 2 and BR 4604(1). There must be independent lighting in every room which cannot be switched off from the outside. All cables required to run within the compartment, are to be retained using clips attached to the lining with adhesive or double sided adhesive tape. The lining must not be penetrated for cable attachments. An audio/visual system to indicate that someone is trapped in any of the Cold and Cool rooms, is to be installed. It is to consist of a set of Red warning lights (NSN 6210-99-923-5758) fitted outside each compartment (see NES 587 Parts 1 and 2), with a parallel set sited in the Ship Control Centre (SCC), or another continuously manned compartment to indicate `Man Locked In'. Additionally, an audible alarm is to be sited adjacent to the parallel warning lights in the SCC. Both audible and visual alarms are to be operable from within each compartment and are to be clearly tallied to state their purpose.

d. Cold room doors or frames are to be fitted with a heater tape to prevent condensation and the subsequent formation of ice.

4.4

Ventilation Requirements
a. The fruit, vegetable, potato and any other room storing food with a respiratory heat load, is to be fitted with a fresh air inlet and stale air outlet pipe to change the air in the compartment approximately once every 10 hours. The fresh air inlet is to be sited as close as possible to the recirculation inlet grill of the cooling unit. The inlet and outlet are to terminate within the citadel and where passing through watertight boundaries, ball valves are to be fitted. The stale air outlet is to be as far away as practicable from the fresh air inlet to avoid the air flow from being impeded. The inlet and outlet are not to be sited within stowage bays. The inlet and outlet are to be fitted with ratproof grilles, and are to be suitably protected to ensure that efficient air circulation of the compartment is not impeded by any stores or fittings when the compartment is fully stored.

4.5

Cooling Units
a. b. Cooling of the refrigerated compartments is to be by air circulation over cooling units. Drip trays and condensate drains are to be supplied and fitted by the shipbuilder/contractor to the requirements prepared by the refrigerating machinery contractor. 25 mm diameter drains are to be fitted to remove the condensate from the cooling coil drip trays and led to an adjacent lobby at a continuous downward gradient. Tape heaters are to be fitted to the condensate drain pipes.

4.6

Testing and Trials

a. A high standard of insulation efficiency is required in all refrigerated rooms to ensure that the refrigerating plant is not overloaded. To ensure that this high standard is met during construction, the shipbuilder/contractor is to conduct heat input tests on all refrigerated rooms on completion of the insulation and prior to the fitting of pipes and cooling grids etc. For ships in service where this standard is to be used, heat input tests are to be carried out at intervals not exceeding six years. There is no requirement to carry out periodic heat input tests on self contained free standing Cold and Cool cupboards. The heat input test is to be of six hours duration, immediately preceded by a preheating period of not less than 24 hours. During the test and preheat period, the room(s) are to remain closed. Adjacent Cold and Cool rooms are not to be tested together as part of a block. Separate tests are to be conducted to ensure divisional bulkheads are suitably tested. However, adjacent Cool Rooms or adjacent Cold Rooms may be tested simultaneously, even if there is no facility to allow air to circulate freely between the compartments. Such a test will require the heat input to be introduced into each compartment independently and a temperature balance achieved across all compartments prior to commencing the heat input trial.

e. Thermographs are to be situated in each room under test, one being situated approximately in the centre of each boundary surface (excluding divisional walls) adjacent to the lining. Graphs are to be set low as there is a possibility of a temperature rise in excess of 22C during the test period. Maximum and minimum thermometers are to be placed on each thermograph for the purpose of correcting the graph reading. Thermocouples and data loggers can be used in lieu of thermographs. Thermometers or thermocouples are to be placed in each of the compartments bordering the refrigerated rooms, sufficient thermometers being fitted to enable the average surrounding compartment temperature to be calculated. A distant reading thermometer is to be fitted in each room under test to observe the internal temperatures at all times. Electric radiators and/or lamps are to be fitted in each room under test on a basis of 50 W/m2 of wall, floor and ceiling leakage area, i.e. the total boundary area of the room or group of rooms. Arrangements are to be made to reduce this input to approximately 5 W/m2 by means of a variable resistance to one radiator/lamp in each room. An oscillating table fan is to be fitted in each room to assist in obtaining a uniform temperature throughout. The consumption of the fan is to be included in the total heat input wattage ensuring the necessary Power Factor (PF) correction is first made (generally PF = 0.7). PF only applicable for ac supply.

f.

g.

h.

NOTE i.

Calibrated and tested electrical instruments are to be fitted into the electrical circuits to enable the total electrical input to each room to be read at any time. Automatic recording instruments for measuring amps, volts or watts are to be employed. Fresh air inlets and stale air outlets are to be blanked from inside the compartment. Penetrations for radiator and thermocouple cables, etc. through the insulation, are to be made airtight. Where necessary, heat sources, ventilation and draughts, etc., are to be eliminated from surrounding compartments to maintain a steady temperature difference between these spaces and the room(s) under test. Cooling grids and refrigerated pipes are to be pumped down to the condenser and isolated. The compartments are to be clean and dry.

l. 4.6.1

Procedure for Trials a. b. c. With the room(s) prepared for testing as stated in Clauses 4.6a. to 4.6l. inclusive, the electric lamps/radiators and fans are to be switched ON. The temperature within each room is to be monitored by use of the distant reading thermometers. The rate of change of temperature within the rooms is to be regulated by use of a variable resistance fitted to the lamps/radiators so as not to exceed 10C per hour.

4.10

DEF STAN 02111/ ISSUE 2 (NES 111)

d. When the temperature within the rooms has reached between 15C and 20C above the surrounding compartment temperatures, but not exceeding 45C, a balance between heat input and heat loss is to be obtained by adjusting the wattage input. The temperature is to be maintained within 1C in this condition. During certain conditions and ship states, it will not always be possible to obtain a 15C to 20C differential between surrounding compartments such as machinery spaces, weapon electrical spaces when operational, or ships side when subject to high/low ambient temperatures. Maintain this temperature for 24 hours by regulating the wattage input as necessary until a balance between heat input and heat loss is obtained. This will be indicated by constant distant reading thermometer temperature with constant electrical input. Any persistent increase or decrease in temperature in any room indicates that a balance has not been achieved and a further period of observation and wattage regulation is required before commencing the six hour test. When the balance has been achieved the six hour test can commence, during which time hourly recordings are to be made of all the surrounding compartment temperatures and electrical input. On completion of the six hour test, the radiators/lamps and fans are to be switched OFF, the rooms opened and the thermograph chart removed. The maximum temperature recorded by the thermometers sited on the thermographs are to be entered on the respective charts for the purpose of correction. The trials officer is to calculate the room coefficient for each refrigerated room or block of rooms using the following formula: UR + W AT where: `UR' = the room coefficient.

e.

f.

g.

h.

`W' = the total input in Watts. `A' = the total internal surface area in square metres through which the heat leakage takes place. Where rooms are tested as a block, divisional wall areas are not to be included. the mean temperature difference in degrees Celsius between the room(s) under test and the surrounding compartments.

`T' = i.

T is to be calculated as follows: Mean temperature difference (T) + SAs(T iT o) SAs

where: `As' = the area of the common surface between the room under test and the adjacent compartment in m2. `Ti' = the average of the temperatures recorded in the room under test. each `To' = the area weighted average of the temperatures recorded in surrounding compartment during the test.

Acceptance Criteria a. For new construction or completely reinsulated rooms, Modular, Builtin and any Ready Use cupboards constructed in accordance with this standard, the `UR' is not to exceed 0.3 W/m2C. For ships in service, which are constructed in accordance with this standard, when periodic tests are undertaken to evaluate the condition of the insulation, the `UR' is not to exceed 0.5 W/m2C. For periodic testing of ships in service which are constructed using Fine Mineral Fibre insulation, the `UR' is not to exceed 0.6 W/m2C. For periodic testing of ships in service which are constructed using Polyurethane Foam insulation, the `UR' is not to exceed 0.5 W/m2C. For periodic testing of ships in service built in ReadyUse Cool Cupboards, the `UR' is not to exceed 0.85 W/m2C. For ships where partial reinsulation has been undertaken, the room coefficient in any room is not to exceed 0.5 W/m2C. If the results exceed the above, reinsulation has to be considered. This will need to take into account any allowance for degradation before the next test, remaining life of the vessel, plant capacity to maintain food at the required temperature, evidence of condensation, cost and programme implications. The responsibility, procedures and organization required to specify, authorize and accept the tests and trials conducted in new construction ships is defined in NES 23. The quality assurance representative as defined in NES 23, for new construction ships, will accept or reject the results of each trial. For ships in service, DLO is the accepting authority. A concession is to be sought from the Design Authority in the event that the above acceptance criteria is not met.
