Liquefied petroleum gas, enclosed garages, ventilation and detectionAbstract
This paper analyzes the physicochemical characteristics of liquefied petroleum gas and its use as a fuel, with emphasis on the risks associated with parking LPG-powered vehicles in enclosed garages. The study explores the phenomena of VCE and BLEVE, mechanisms of gas accumulation, explosion hazards, and the impact of ventilation and detection systems on safety. It also addresses the effects of LPG contact with human tissue and proposes protective measures, with reference to relevant regulations and the necessity of integrating technical and organizational solutions in risk management related to LPG use in confined spaces.
