The objective of this project was to evaluate parameters in a refrigeration system to transport live shrimp without water. The decisive parameters that worked like decision factors in the selection of the refrigeration system were among others: determination of the system’s thermal load; modeling of the thermal load in a thermal nets system; simulating conditions according to real ones; selection and acquisition of the refrigeration system that best adapts to the specific necessities, and finally the practical confirmation of the selected refrigeration system’s effectiveness. According to these parameters, was possible to find a refrigeration system in stock market that met the necessary characteristics for the transportation of live shrimp without water, and with it was be made the required trials to corroborate the system functionality, which showed satisfactory results and for that reason can be potentially acceptable in the market physic as that economically, since represent a inversion according with the actual market value exportation and shrimp sale.
