Development of the dual-cycle absorption heat pump for residential application. Appendix C: Environment and safety. Final report

Technical Report · Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 EST 1990

OSTI ID:5903263

The report identifies from available literature, environmental and toxicity information on selected absorbent-refrigerant compound pairs that potentially could be used in the Battelle Absorption Heat Pump (BAHP). The study indicates that there are no life-threatening effects that might be expected from a heat pump using the candidate fluids (ammonia, and lithium bromide) and operating in a normal environment. Environmental Protection Agency regulations for hazardous waste and a report, Preliminary Safety (Fault Tree) Analysis of Dual Cycle Absorption Heat Pump, are included.
