Author(s) : NOWACKI J. E.

Type of monograph: Booklet

Summary

Propane can advantageously replace many old refrigerants in heat pumps and refrigeration machinery. Measurements have shown that it gives a high output power and frequently a better efficiency. The problem is the flammability. Extract from the table of contents: safety requirements and costs (Swedish and Danish accident statistics); acceptance (historical perspective); rules and regulations (Swedish and American standards; international outlook); safety estimation; National Swedish Inspectorate of Explosives and Flammables ruling on new real installations (household refrigerator-freezer, small air to air residential heat pump; small residential heat pump using exhaust air; medium sized 3-5-kilowatts refrigeration plant; 1-megawatt large heat pump); leaks and ignition probabilities. A short computer program to illustrate the complexity of the safety problem with flammable refrigerants is also included.
