Preliminary Design of Fish Hold Insulation on the 5 Gross Tonnage Fishing Boat

Abstract

Indonesia as a maritime country has enormous capture fisheries potential. On the other hand, the use of technology in catching and cooling fish catches is still very limited. This study aims to design a fish hold insulation for fishing vessels 5 Gross Tonnage as a solution in maintaining the freshness of the fish caught. Fishing boat using flat hull ship design has been used as a study case with the main dimension is length overall 8.2-meter, breadth 2.6-meter, draught 0.8-meter. Based on the calculation standards used, the fish hold insulation design is obtained of 4-meter length, 2-meter width and 1.5-meter height. From all existing load calculations, the total cooling load that must be provided by the evaporator to keep the fish hold room air temperature at 0 ° C is 472.4 Watt.
