Summary
An experimental investigation of the flammability limits of propane, isobutane and methylamine was carried out. It was shown that, if the consistency of the refrigerants in air increased approximately to the flammability limits, a high-energy ignition source was also needed to induce explosion. However, it is necessary to take some safety precautions.
