Summary

Concentration of hydrocarbon in the refrigerator could exceed the lower explosive limit by a sudden leak and then a spark could ignite a flame, causing overpressure. There is a need for studies on potential risks. Thus, the flow rate of the fresh air into the refrigerator cabinet has been defined experimentally, and the spatial average concentration in the refrigerator cabinet has been analyzed theoretically to predict the dangerous time in excess of the lower explosive limit.
