A marine equipment optimization depends on the determined criteria. Optimal equipment production and its usage instead of standard one, could increase the investment costs resulting with the increase of payback period and, important characteristic of marine equipment should be in accordance with the technical rules of the classification society and the international conventions. In some cases the optimization of marine equipment is possible and desirable. The paper deals with the refrigerating systems in general and especially with the refrigerating compressor, the most expensive part of the system. The optimization criterion is the minimization of total costs of the refrigerating system. The model should show the way to decrease refrigerating system costs and an give an information tool for quicker selection of refrigerating system elements.
