Description
Cryogenic equipment is used in many modern accelerator facilities. A release of cryogens may cause an oxygen deficient atmosphere resulting in a hazardous work environment. A well designed oxygen deficiency monitoring system will allow a facility to run efficiently while still permitting workers access to operate and service the equipment in a safe manner.
TRIUMF is in the process of upgrading the operation of its oxygen monitoring system. I will give an overview of the design process including hazard analysis, sensor selection, monitoring options, annunciations of alarms, what happens during a low O2 alarm, active monitoring versus procedural planning, and servicing and calibration requirements.
