A13 -- Ships (I-P)

This chapter covers air conditioning for oceangoing surface vessels, including naval ships, commercial vessels, fishing boats, luxury liners, pleasure craft, and inland and coastal boats, as well as oil rigs. Although the general principles of air conditioning for land installations also apply to marine applications, factors such as weight, size, fire protection, smoke control, and corrosion resistance take on greater importance, and new factors (e.g., tolerance for pitch and roll, shipboard vibration, watertightness) come into play.
