ABSTRACT
The study introduces the method to calculate the dispersion of the refrigerant in
the air for assessing the environmental risk caused by the explosion of the equipment
in the refrigeration system by studying and using the instantaneous source model (puff
model); and ability to apply them in order to calculate the dispersion of the hazard gas
in the air to predict the impact of the environmental risk in using the refrigeration and
air conditioning in Vietnam.
Result of our study can use for assessing the environmental risk or predicting
the consequence of the environmental risk in using the refrigerant or another
hazardous chemicals.
I. INTRODUCTION

II. BASIC THEORY
A puff is formed as a result of an instantaneous spill (see Fig. 4). Puff scenarios
include catastrophic of bottles, drums, or vessels containing liquids above their normal
boiling points. Upon rupture, a fraction of the liquids vaporizes. The flashing vapor is
a result of the excess sensible heat vaporizing a fraction of the liquid. This flashing
vapor may also entrain some of the remaining liquid.
III. CONCLUTION
Result of the study can use for assessing the environmental risk or predicting
the consequence of the environmental risk in using the refrigerant or another
hazardous chemicals.
