Explosive VOC levels
Explosive VOC levels
(OP)
I am trying to reduce the gas comsumption of an oven by reducing the exhaust rate.
By reducing the exhaust rate I will reduce the amount of ambiant air drawn into the oven.
My problem is; the product ( a coating ) gives off Voc's
I want to know want is the lower explosion limit LEL of VOC's? in ppm.
I'm assuming that it is the same for all VOC'

RE: Explosive VOC levels
where did you get the info on LEL's for different compounds?
I've been looking all over the WWW for that.

kingofools:
Have you tried reading books at a good library? For example, the "Handbook of Chemistry and Physics" published by the CRC Press provides the upper and lower flammabilty limits for a good many chemicals. By the way, flammabilty and explosive limits are the same ... the two terms are synonymous.
I cannot understand the obsession with finding data on the Internet as opposed to reading the technical literature.
