Klinge Corporation is a global manufacturer of offshore refrigeration units and DNV containers that meet all necessary industry standards.
ATEX-rated offshore refrigerated containers
Klinge Corporation manufactures Offshore Refrigerated Containers that meet the requirements of the ATEX Directive, which contains stringent safety guidelines for equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres (such as oil rigs, on FPSO, Supply vessels, oil fields and chemical factories).
Klinge Corporation’s ATEX Offshore Refrigerated Containers are rated for Hazardous Zone 1 and Zone 2 areas in accordance with EN 60079-10 standards.
Explosion-proof containers to ensure personnel safety
Kinge’s Offshore Containers are explosion-proof, including all the external parts. In addition, every component in the evaporator section is also explosion-proof, which is of particular importance due to this section being in direct contact with the cargo area.
These units are shipped to various sea offshore operators and suppliers, mostly in the North Sea where the required safety level is heightened over most locations in the world.
The Offshore Refrigerated Containers are used for storage of items such as foodstuff, medicine, temperature-controlled liquids, and membranes, onboard the offshore installations where gas safe hazardous zones are difficult to guarantee.
Offshore containers certified to DNV 2.7-1 & EN 12079 standards
Klinge Corporation’s Offshore Reefers are available with special containers certified to DNV 2.7-1 & EN 12079 standards. DNV 2.7-1 Containers are used primarily in the oil and gas industry because of their ability to withstand the harsh environment and handling of the offshore industry.
They are subject to many more regulations and must undergo a strict certification process to ensure the safety of personnel working on the oil rigs and tankers, as well as the environment.
Dual refrigeration systems for dangerous goods, chemical and pharmaceutical transport
Klinge Corporation’s Dual Refrigeration Systems have two full capacity reefer units with performance monitoring. The refrigeration unit automatically switches to its back-up in an emergency to provide total peace of mind for hazardous cargo.
Dual Refrigerated Containers are available with an integral generator set for back-up power.
Klinge Group’s line of Dual Refrigerated Containers comply with all international regulations for the transportation of dangerous goods.
Container tracking and monitoring
Klinge Corporation’s Offshore Containers are available with a satellite system that is a two-way data communications service using compact equipment with integrated GPS, for data transfer, remote monitoring, tracking and tracing.
The Offshore Container satellite communication system transfers ambient temperature, cargo temperature, running condition, alarm status, fuel level in running hours remaining, and power source in near real-time. The data is accessible on a website specifically designed for Klinge Corporation’s satellite communication system.
Temperature recorder is also available to provide evidence of correct temperatures for every trip in the form of a delivery ticket or numerical or graphical printout. All data is stored with a date / time stamp in a large flash memory. Data will not be lost if power supply is disconnected. The real-time clock is powered by an internal back-up battery.
