Module 1 - Background

Module 1 reviewsthe purpose, scope, and applicability of the guideline, with an emphasis on the types of releases that are covered (and not covered) by the guideline.

Module 2 - First Steps in Assessing a Release

The second module in this certificate course looks at the initial steps to take in assessing the size of a refrigerant release, including a quick screening method to determine if a release is less than or over 100 lbs. We also detail the information that should be gathered in order to characterize the release and fully contribute to an incident investigation.

Module 3 - Equations

In Module 3, participants willincrease their knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals which were used to develop the governing equations to estimate refrigerant releases. Topics include fluid dynamic fundamentals, gas flow model determinations, liquid flow model determinations, and equivalent geometric diameters.

Module 4

Applying the Ammonia Release Calculation Tool to Gas Releases

Module 4 continues with definitions and instruction on using the Release Calculation Tool for gas releases.

Module 5

Applying the Ammonia Release Calculation Tool to Liquid Releases

Module 5 offers instruction on using the Release Calculation Tool for liquid releases.
