Evaluation des risques des hydrocarbures.

Quantitative risk assessment: hydrocarbon refrigerants.

Résumé

The technique of quantitative risk assessment is discussed with respect to its application to flammable refrigerants, specifically hydrocarbons existing risk assessments published since 1991 are reviewed. Details are also presented on the approach of using background risks as a basis for comparison of calculated frequencies of fires and fatalities in respect to the use of flammable refrigerants, and contrasted to the actual performance of a hydrocarbon charged freezer in a fire situation. Finally, a number of independent risk assessments commissioned by Calor Gas for a variety of different applications are described. The conclusions of all quantitative risk assessment evaluations are that the use of hydrocarbon refrigerants does not significantly increase the potential for fires of fatalities.
