Subject: Re: Temperature control of chemical storage
There are no requirements for
temperature control
in chemical storage areas--but the general practice is cool and dry plus
continually well-ventilated. As to cool temperatures, most
experience
suggests a maximum of 70 degrees F (or 20 degrees C [68 degrees F]) as a
reasonable maximum.
Subject: [DCHAS-L] Temperature
control of
chemical storage
I received a call from a friend at a local
college in
regard to chemical storage room temperature control and am looking for
some
extra feedback. They want to decommission their science building
from
Fri-Sun every week over the summer to save on air conditioning
costs.
They will set temperature control so that it will not get higher then
90F and
electric would stay on. Teaching labs will run Mon-Thurs so set
up will
need to be scheduled accordingly. Are there any regulations
which
specify required environmental conditions for the chemical
storage
room?
