1 Refrigerating systems are divided into classes, descriptive of the method employed for extracting heat as follows: Direct system is one in which the evaporator is in direct contact with the material or space refrigerated or is located in air circulating passages communicating with such spaces.

Indirect system is one in which a liquid, such as brine or water cooled by the refrigerant, is circulated to the material or space refrigerated or is used to cool air so circulated.

Unit system is one which has been assembled and tested prior to its installation and which is installed with refrig. erant containing parts completely assembled.

Reserve supply of refrigerant may be stowed in any cool, isolated location (excepting a cargo hold, or passenger or crew spaces) on board the vessel. Racks shall be provided and the containers secured therein. Valve protection cap shall be in place on cylinders.
