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