Refrigeration system analysis

Have efficient refrigeration systems ready to try to stop reactions likely to speed up or for which the preliminary analysis showed them to be exothermic. Flooding systems might be needed in extreme situations and if the compounds are incompatible with water.

Fault tree analysis is based on a graphical, logical description of the failure mechanisms of a system. Before construction of a fault tree can begin, a specific definition of the top event is required for example the release of propylene from a refrigeration system. A detailed understanding of the operation of the system, its component parts, and the role of operators and possible human errors is required. Refer to Guidelines for Hazard Evaluation (CCPS, 1992) and Guidelines for Chemical Process Quantitative Risk Assessment (CCPS, 2000).

For matrix-isolation studies there is a minimum of necessary equipment. The essentials include a) a refrigeration system (cryostat), b) a sample holder, c) a vacuum chamber (shroud) to enclose the sample, d) means of measuring and controlling the sample temperature, e) a vacuum-pumping system, f) a gashandling system, g) devices for generating the species of interest, h) spectrometers for analysis of the matrices.

The nominal Task analysis represents the sequence of action for the start-up ofthe turbine and the compressor of the refrigerating system in a Gas processing unit of LPG. The Turbine-Compressor complex is composed hy a Start-up Turbine which uses a mixture of air compressed in the auxihary compressor and Natural Gas. Hot gases coming out from the start-up turbine are burned in the Combustion Chambers CCl-4 of the Main Turbine which drives the Main Compressor, used to compress gaseous Refrigerating Propane. The start up is normally performed after shut-down as consequence of maintenance, repair, upset, power cut-off The operation is carried out aroimd 4 times a year (in normal conditions) therefore it is important to provide training to the personnel involved because it is not a routine operation.

Therefore, conpared with cooling at 5°C, cooling to -20°C is 0.257/0.144 times as expensive, and cooling to -50°C is 0.426/0.144 times as expensive. This analysis assumes that the two refrigeration systems operate equally efficiently with respect to the reversible limit and that the major cost is the power to run the conpressors.
