ANALYSIS OF THE DANGER OF EMERGENCY SITUATIONS IN THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF GAS BOILER HOUSES
The purpose of the research is to analyze possible emergency situations during depressurization of the gas pipeline adjacent to the boiler room and located in it, as well as to determine the horizontal radius of action of the key damaging factors in case of an accident. As an example, an emergency situation was calculated for a section of a medium-pressure gas pipeline. The values of the maximum overpressure, the pulse of the compression phase of the air pressure waves, and the radii of the affected areas during the explosion of the fuel-air mixture are determined. Recommendations for the prevention of an emergency are given.
