The air intakes andcapacity of the HVAC system must not be affected by atmospheric or sea spray icing.• The HVAC system must also ensure that the concentration of explosion substances inatmosphere shall not increase due to sheltering of process or drilling areas.• On these areas it is recommended that the standard refer to ISO13207 and ISO 19906,to give consistent guidance. ISO 19906 requires that redundancy shall be provided foremergency power generation for all structures in cold regions (ISO19906).
