Robert Done

The Safe Use of Cryogenic Technologies (eBook, ePUB)

A handbook for best practice and training

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The use of cryogenic materials within both research and industrial environments continues to grow as new technologies gradually embrace the discipline. As these developments establish in more facilities around the world, there will be a consequential increase in the likelihood of cryogenic accidents happening. As the temperature range of cryogenic technologies has potential life-threatening significance to the human body, a greater awareness of the associated risks and how to mitigate hazards is crucial for their safe application.

This book examines the risks involved in the use of cryogenic materials and the extensive regulations that apply within the UK, USA and across Europe to manage them. Case studies are presented following a detailed review of the various cryogenic and asphyxiation hazards. The books is an essential resource for work-area managers, graduate students, researchers, engineers, technicians and safety managers looking for a practical reference for the safe use of cryogenic materials.

Autorenporträt

Robert Done began his career as a mechanical engineering apprentice for UKAEA at Risley in Cheshire. On graduating, he joined the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), working first at their Daresbury site in Warrington and eventually moving to the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire. For the past 30 years, Robert has been providing the mechanical engineering support for the neutron spallation source at the site, designing equipment which provides the experimental environment for user-provided test samples. Much of this equipment operates at cryogenic temperatures. Robert routinely presents a series of cryogenic training courses for both internal and external clients. He is also a lead auditor for the STFC's safety auditing team.
