Annex 1. [ GUIDELINES FOR DETERMINING THE PRESSURE INCREASE IN THE ROOM THAT COULD BE CAUSED BY AN EXPLOSION]
Annex to the Regulation of the Minister of Internal Affairs and Administration
of 7 June 2010 (pos. 719)
GUIDELINES FOR DETERMINING THE PRESSURE INCREASE IN THE ROOM THAT COULD BE CAUSED BY THE EXPLOSION
1. When assessing the risk of an explosion of premises, account shall be taken of the most unfavourable consequences of the explosion of a situation which may arise in the process of their operation, taking into account the most dangerous situation, the nature of the substance and the greatest amount of substance that could be involved in the explosion response.
2. The pressure increase in the ΔP room (in Pa) caused by the explosion involving homogeneous flammable gases or vapours with molecules built from the atoms of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and halogenates shall be determined by the equation:
| where: |
|
| mmax |
-the maximum mass of flammable substances forming a mixture of explosive which can be separated in the room in question (kg); |
| ΔPmax |
-maximum pressure increase at stoichiometric explosion of a gas-or vapour-air mixture in a closed chamber (Pa); |
| In |
-the rate of explosion response, which takes into account the incapability of the room, the non-admissibility of the explosion reaction, and the fact that there is less than 0,17 for combustible gas and vapour that would have been separated in the room. gases and 0,1 for flammable vapor; |
| V |
-the volume of the airspace of the space, which is the difference between the volume and the volume of the installation, equipment, closed packaging, etc. (m 3 ); |
Cst-volumetric stoichiometric concentration of flammable gases or vapour:
b-stoichiometric oxygen factor in the explosion reaction:
nC, nH, nCl, nO-the quantities of carbon, hydrogen, halogenates and oxygen atoms in the gas or vapour molecule;
ρ-dense-dense gases or vapour at room temperature under normal operating conditions (kg * m -3 ).
3. The pressure increase in the room ∆P (in Pa), caused by an explosion involving the combustble substances not listed in point 2, is determined by the equation:
where:
qsp-combustion heat (J kg -1 );
After-atmospheric pressure normal, equal to 101 325 Pa;
Ρp-air density at T temperature (kg m -3 );
cp-air-correct heat equal to 1,01 10 3 J kg -1 K -1 ;
T -temperature of the room under normal operating conditions (K);
W = 0,17 for combustible gases and raised pale dust;
W = 0,1 for flammable vapour and mist;
other-as in the formula [ 1].
4. The mass of combustble pairs of m (in kg), secreted in the room due to the evaporation of liquid from the open surface, shall be determined by the equation:
where:
F -liquid evaporation area (m 2 ) -for each dm 3 of the liquid splated on the concrete floor shall be taken to be F = 0,5 m 2 for solutions containing not more than 70% of the mass contribution of the solvent and F = 1 m 2 for other liquids;
t-estimated maximum time of separation of pairs (s);
K-the evaporation factor specified in the table;
Ps-the vapour pressure of the saturated steam at the temperature of the t-room at ° C (Pa):
A, B, CA-Antoine equation coefficients for a given liquid;
M-molecular weight of liquid (kg kmol -1 ).

5. In the event of an emergency ventilation being activated in the room for the determination of the mmax for flammable gases or vapour, it shall be permitted to take into account its operation if the air lifts are in the vicinity of the target area. the secretion of gases or vapour. The maximum mass of flammable substances used for the calculation of ΔP may then be reduced 'k' times, with:
where:
n-the amount of air exchange in the room at the operation of the emergency ventilation (s) -1 );
t-predicted time of secretion of gases or vapour (s).
6. The calculation of the expected pressure increase in the room is not required if without its investor, the design unit or the user deciding on the technological process considers the room to be at risk of explosion.
