Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides methods for reducing the propagation of a flame to or from a refrigerant source (40) and an ignition source (112, 116, 120a) in or adjacent to a cooling system, comprising positioning a metal mesh flame arrestor (22, 120) between said refrigerant source and said ignition source (112, 18). The methods allow the use of flammable refrigerants with reduced risk of fire.
