Rendre les systèmes à l'ammoniac plus surs.

Making ammonia systems safer.

Numéro : pap. n. 1

Résumé

The use of ammonia as a refrigerant introduces some significant hazards; toxicity, flammability, low temperatures and pressurised volatile liquid are the most obvious. It has an excellent safety record but there is undoubtedly still room for improvement. This paper reviews some anecdotes of ammonia incidents and accidents over the last twenty years and considers where the real danger came from. This is contrasted with the requirements of our existing safety codes, standards and regulations to establish whether there are any deficiencies in the current approach. Ways in which we could improve the safety record of ammonia are considered and a proposal for a new approach to refrigeration safety is outlined.
