“…If SB1 is unsuccessful, then the ammonia transfer needs to be shut down manually. Since ammonia odor can be detected at concentrations as low as 5 ppm, 47 its release could be detected by the crew at an early stage due to its strong odor. This study assumes that the time required for manual shutdown is 120 s.…”
