Have enough capacity to maintain the cargo vapor pressure in each cargo tank served by the system below the set pressure of the relief valves under ambient temperatures of 45 °C (113 °F) still air and 32 °C (89.6 °F) still water with the largest unit in the system inoperative; or
(2)
Have a standby unit with a capacity at least equal to the capacity of the largest refrigeration unit in the system.
(b)
For the purpose of this section, a “refrigeration unit” includes a compressor and its motors and controls.
