Opening direction of the gas cylinder storage room door
Thread Content
The painting booth is equipped with an automatic carbon dioxide fire extinguishing system; a storage room for carbon dioxide cylinders is located inside the workshop, and its door opens inward. The workshop has 2 gas cylinder storage rooms: one faces inward and the other faces outward. The door of the room that faces outward leads outside the workshop, while the door of the room that faces inward is next to the painting booth. I think this is a design flaw; it’s unlikely that the designer had some other good idea behind it!

I have an idea: the doors of the carbon dioxide chamber should open inward, so that in case of a problem with the chamber, it would be easy for people to enter from the outside to carry out repairs. This design makes sense as well – after all, normally no one is inside the carbon dioxide chamber operating it. If people do need to operate it on a regular basis, then the doors should open outward
It’s a design flaw; the door should open outward.
According to the fire protection codes for building design, doors should open outward, and there is a reason behind this standard. The doors in our company’s workshops all open outward, and I think the doors of the carbon dioxide storage areas should also open outward, as this allows for easy evacuation in case of any accidents, whether inside or outside the building. It’s best to consult with the design firm for specific guidance
According to the regulations, the doors of storage areas for hazardous materials should open outward, so that in case of an emergency, the people inside can open the doors and escape as quickly as possible.
Reply to 1# dongzhao: According to the design principles, in any hazardous area, doors should open outward
In my opinion, carbon dioxide won’t explode, so internal doors should be fine!
It should open outward. Basic design requirements.
The doors of factories where there is a risk of explosion should open outward. Carbon dioxide cylinders can also explode (through physical explosion), so they as well should open outward.
Is it possible that the CO2 concentration inside is too high, causing someone to lose consciousness from lack of oxygen shortly after entering? The door opens inward, and when the person falls, they accidentally close the door, preventing those outside from being able to help... It’s a somewhat sinister scenario. On the other hand, the door opens outward; when falling, it happens to push the door open, and after a while, one wakes up slowly... Thank God, thank the designer
