- Abstract
From technical point of view and from environmental point of view, and also for a sustainable development of our society are needed tools which enable to analyse the effects of human activities, including maritime transport. Refrigerated transport is essential for our society due to the need to preserve and protect food or medical supplies during transportation, to the benefit of the people worldwide. But the education of future marine engineers is in closely connected to environmental protection. The paper is focused on needed to knowledge and to understanding the working principles of the marine refrigerating plans, tools which should be at hand of future marine engineers. These competences should be gained during faculty, through a discipline called "Marine Refrigerationg Plants" included in the curricula of the license program entitled "Electromechanics", developed in C.M.U. This paper is mainly focused on the selection of refrigerants. There are some classic selection criteria: thermophysical properties, technological and economic aspects, safety and environmental factors; however, in addition to these criteria, others have to be considered: local regulations and standards and "cultural" criteria.
