IIR documentSummary
The paper describes an experimental risk-assessment study on refrigerators containing flammable refrigerant R600a. Two different kinds of refrigerators are under consideration. Both were tested for several leak scenarios in the same experimental set-up that consists of a gas detector with two sensors calibrated for isobutane, a refrigerant bottle, an electronic scale on which the bottle is located and the capillary tubing for injecting the refrigerant into the insulating foam or the food compartment depending on the type of cooling system. During the tests, R600a concentration has been measured inside and outside the appliances in the vicinity of potential electrical spark sources. Results of the tests are given.
