It has been some time since I had to look into this, but I came at the problem looking at cryogens in our operations and found this web page from the Lawrence Berkeley National Labs' online EHS Manual to be a great help. I like their recommended method and tool for evaluating Oxygen Deficiency Hazards. Might be interesting to hear any criticisms anyone may have. May be worth a read...

Subject: [DCHAS-L] O2 Sensor Determination

 

Does anyone have a good reference for determining when a room needs an O2 sensor? I'm looking for an amount of liquid gas (nitrogen, argon, helium) vs cubic feet calculation. (We're assuming total catastrophe here: no ventilation and all the cryo-liquid escapes). Dartmouth is looking at doing an overhaul of all the O2 sensors on campus. Facilities will oversee maintain/scheduling of these sensors and require a "hard and fast" rule from EHS to justify their installation..
