A hazard evaluation for a double-effect, absorption heat pump is presented. The primary technique for the hazard evaluation was a hazard and operability (HAZOP) study; this is a brainstorming approach conducted by a multidisciplinary team. The approach stimulates creativity of the team members to generate ideas. The team consisted of a HAZOP leader, the heat-pump project manager, a thermohydrologist, a corrosion specialist, a toxicologist, and a risk analyst. The majority of the team members were already involved in the design and analysis of the heat pump.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
