I still sailed a reefer vessel which operated with salt and brine as cooling element!!! the Nova Galicia, only time I had such system in my seafaring life. was very interesting and to my knowledge it did not involve FREON ,, I wonder a little why that system was abandoned because of the NONE enviromental damaging aspect of not having Freon ?.

Thanks for the info. I know what you mean by "reefers before 1980". I love them too. I have seen and photographed plenty of them in the 80s and early 90s mainly in Piraeus, but they are on negatives so i need to find a good slide scanner to bring them to the digital era...
