Abstract

The approach of thermal analysis and explosion in relation to safety science is based on investigation methods in the mining and chemical industries. Once adapted to the particularities of foods, these methods correspond well to the needs of the food industry. Thus, thermal analysis and explosion simulation techniques as part of safety science (or loss prevention) participate to a large extent in the prevention of incidents and accidents by helping to take preventive measures.

Zusammenfassung

Die ähnlichkeit von Thermoanalyse und Explosionssimulation in Bezug auf die Sicherheitswissenschaft basiert auf Untersuchungsmethoden, die im Bergbau und in der chemischen Industrie entwickelt wurden. Werden diese Methoden den Besonderheiten von Lebensmitteln angeglichen, befriedigen sie sehr gut die diesbezüglichen Bedürfnisse der Lebensmittelindustrie. Folglich sind Thermoanalyse und Explosions-simulationstechniken als Teil der Sicherheitswissenschaft (oder der Verhinderung von Verlusten) durch die Unterstützung der Ergreifung präventiver Ma\nahmen zu einem gro\en Teil an der Verhinderung von Vorfällen und Unfällen beteiligt.
