Explosion risk assessments for facilities with compressed flammable gases

Abstract

In the fi rst part of the article we discuss the possibilities and analytical tools that can deal with the classifi cation of space into zones with danger of explosion for devices with the presence of compressed fl ammable gases. Then we continue with specifi cations of possibilities for practical utilization linked to variables such as ventilation degree, hypothetical volume etc., including the examples. At the end we also give a brief overview of software for modelling gas leak, including examples of an outcome.
