Risk analysis of flammable refrigerants. 2. Methodology for calculations of risk frequencies and flammable quantities.

Author(s) : COLBOURNE D., SUEN K. O.

Summary

A number of coincident events can lead to the ignition of a release of flammable refrigerants, which depends - amongst others - upon the development of a flammable concentration, and the presence of one or more active sources of ignition. This paper presents an improved zonal dispersion model to estimate the size and duration of the flammable region resulting from a release. The output of the model, along with source of ignition characteristics, can then be used to estimate the ignition probability for a given set of circumstances.
