NATO Supply Class 4130 is a classification for Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Components within NATO Supply Group 41, which is dedicated to Refrigeration, Air Conditioning, and Air Circulating Equipment.

This supply class includes various components that are used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. These components are essential for the proper functioning and efficiency of such systems. Some examples of components included in this class are compressors, condensers, evaporators, expansion valves, refrigerant filters, and refrigerant control devices.

These components play a crucial role in the refrigeration and air conditioning process. Compressors are responsible for compressing the refrigerant gas, while condensers help in the heat transfer process by converting the refrigerant gas into a liquid state. Evaporators, on the other hand, facilitate the cooling process by absorbing heat from the surrounding air or water. Expansion valves regulate the flow of refrigerant, and refrigerant filters help in removing impurities from the refrigerant.

It is important to note that NATO Supply Class 4130 specifically focuses on components used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Other equipment, such as complete refrigeration units or air conditioning units, may fall under different supply classes within NATO Supply Group 41.

By categorizing these components into specific supply classes, NATO aims to streamline procurement processes and ensure compatibility and interoperability among member nations. This classification system helps in standardizing the identification and procurement of various items, making it easier for NATO forces to acquire the necessary components for their refrigeration and air conditioning systems.
