Refrigeration Receivers - Refrigeration and HVAC

Refrigeration receivers are pressure vessels installed in marine refrigeration, air-conditioning, and HVAC systems to store liquid refrigerant and provide a stable supply to the expansion device. They may be vertical or horizontal and are selected for refrigerant type, capacity, pressure rating, and classification requirements.

ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Refrigeration Receivers for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval

Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.

Applicable Standards & Certification Applicable requirements may include ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII, EN 13445, Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU, and EN 378, depending on manufacturer, installation location, and flag-state requirements.
Class Approval Marine use may require approval or acceptance by DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, or ClassNK. Approval is model- and application-specific and should be confirmed from the manufacturer's type-approval documentation.

Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information

Installation Notes Install in accordance with the manufacturer's refrigeration piping and pressure-vessel instructions. Confirm refrigerant compatibility, flow direction, design pressure, liquid volume, isolation valves, relief protection, support, vibration resistance, and adequate clearance for inspection and servicing.
Maintenance Tips Inspect for corrosion, leakage, damaged insulation, abnormal vibration, and condition of valves and relief devices. Verify refrigerant level and pressure during scheduled plant maintenance. Do not remove or obstruct safety valves, and maintain records of inspections and pressure testing.
Safety Notes Only qualified refrigeration personnel should install or service the receiver. Isolate, recover, and verify zero pressure before opening the system. Use approved refrigerant handling equipment and PPE, provide ventilation, and never exceed the nameplate pressure or authorized refrigerant charge.
