LEL of Ethylene Oxide in CO2
LEL of Ethylene Oxide in CO2
(OP)
Hi Guys,
I have read this thread
http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=33615
And while it helps in general terms with diluted hydrocarbons I am struggling to apply it to Ethylene Oxide (LEL 3%, UEL 100%)
It is my thinking from a pure common sense viewpoint that as EO produces its own oxygen (hence the 100% UEL) that the fact it is in CO2 rather than air will have little effect on the LEL, can anybody confirm or refute this please?
