I am saying that in general I would prefer a system that’s safe by design, not by the fact that there are going to be people there who can make very human mistakes and create a problem. It is all relative: is it safer to run a facility like this or to transport a tanker-full of crude oil across waterways? But just saying that well there will be people there to open a valve when bad things happen is naive.
- asdfasgasdgasdg 5y agoWhen comparing the risk of refrigerant leaks in cooling systems in general vs heat exchange systems at a highly technical and actively monitored facility, it is relevant that the facility is actively monitored and probably has much better controls than typical refrigerant-using installations. It's not naïve to observe that most refrigerant leaks are likely from systems that are not monitored (i.e. almost all residential systems and probably most commercial ones).
