AEROSOL TECHNOLOGY PROPELLANTS AEROSOL TECHNOLOGY Propellants – Numbering Sys. Propellants are identified by a number Four rules for numbering AEROSOL TECHNOLOGY Propellants – Numbering System: The Various Propellants are Usually Distinguished by a Number Rule 1: The First Digit on the Right Signifies the Number of Fluorine (Fl) Atoms in the Compound. Rule 2: The Second Digit From the Right is Numerically One More Than Number of Hydrogen (H) Atoms in the Compound. Rule 3: The Third Digit From the Right is Numerically One Less Than the Number of Carbon (C) Atoms in the Compound. When the Digit Is Zero, It is Omitted From the Number. AEROSOL TECHNOLOGY Propellants – Numbering System: Rule 4: The number of chlorine (Cl) atoms in the compound is found by subtracting the sum of the fluorine and hydrogen atoms form of the atoms that can be connected to carbon. When only one carbon atom is involved, the total number of attached atoms is four. When two carbon atoms are present, the total number of attached atom is six.

Earth has been warming rapidly, nearly 0.36º F (0.2º C) in the last 30 years. If global temperatures go up to 1.8º F ( 1º C) , It would be equal to the maximum temperature of the past million years This evidence implies that that we are getting close to dangerous levels of human made (anthropogenic) POLLUTION. AEROSOL TECHNOLOGY Human Influences on Global Warming: Humans might be magnifying warming by adding to the greenhouse gases naturally present in the atmosphere. Fuel use is the chief cause of rising carbon dioxide levels. On the other hand, humans create temporary, localized cooling effects through AEROSOLS, such as smoke and sulfates from industry, which reflect sunlight away from earth AEROSOL TECHNOLOGY Lab safety Propellant’s Handling AEROSOL TECHNOLOGY Propellants – Lab safety No smoking Personnel must be properly trained Cylinders must be chained Detection sensors AEROSOL TECHNOLOGY Propellants – Lab safety Exhaust Hood-Explosion-proof Grounding for static electricity All sources of ignition MUST be eliminated Explosion proof heated storage AEROSOL TECHNOLOGY Propellants – Lab safety Danger zone – 10 ft radius during gassing Avoid spark producing tools Fire extinguisher – Rating 8B AEROSOL TECHNOLOGY Propellants – Handling Courtesy of Phillips Petroleum AEROSOL TECHNOLOGY Propellants – Handling Courtesy of Phillips Petroleum AEROSOL TECHNOLOGY Propellants – Handling Courtesy of Phillips Petroleum AEROSOL TECHNOLOGY Propellants – Handling Courtesy of Phillips Petroleum AEROSOL TECHNOLOGY Propellants – Handling Courtesy of Phillips Petroleum AEROSOL TECHNOLOGY Propellants – Handling Courtesy of Phillips Petroleum AEROSOL TECHNOLOGY Propellants – Handling Courtesy of Phillips Petroleum AEROSOL TECHNOLOGY Propellants – Handling Courtesy of Phillips Petroleum AEROSOL TECHNOLOGY Propellants – Handling Courtesy of Phillips Petroleum AEROSOL TECHNOLOGY Propellants – Handling Courtesy of Phillips Petroleum AEROSOL TECHNOLOGY Propellants – Handling Courtesy of Phillips Petroleum AEROSOL TECHNOLOGY Propellants – Handling Does not have to be Dangerous but can be unforgiving Courtesy of Phillips Petroleum AEROSOL TECHNOLOGY Propellants – Handling Courtesy of Phillips Petroleum AEROSOL TECHNOLOGY Propellants-Flammability: Vapor Heavier than Air-Avoid Confined areas Flammability Tests 1.
