Webinar on safety with flammable refrigerants
IEA HPT Annex 64 concerns Safety when using flammable refrigerants like propane or isobutane. This is a hot topic as the synthetic HFC fluids mainly used today must be phased out as they are strong greenhouse gases and also belong to the PFAS group of substances.
We are now arranging a webinar to spread the information about some of the results of the Annex. The webinar is open to anyone and can be accessed without prior registration.
Topics of the webinar:
-
Introduction to IEA HPT Annex 64 on Safety with flammable refrigerants (Björn Palm, KTH)
-
Safety aspects when using hydrocarbons in lab environments (Odile Cauret EDF):
-
R290 leak detection by ultrasound (Louis Allenbacher, Fraunhofer ISE)
-
CFD modelling of leaks of hydrocarbons from heat pumps (Jafar Esmaeelian, KTH)
