T1 - Zündung zerfallsfähiger Gase wie Acetylen und Tetrafluorethen durch adiabate Kompression N2 - Die adiabate Kompression stellt insbesondere für zerfallsfähige Gase eine potentielle Zündquelle sowohl bei Herstellungsprozessen als auch beim Umgang in weiter-verarbeitenden Betrieben oder beim Endnutzer dar. Unter bestimmten Bedingungen kann hier eine explosionsartige Zerfallsreaktion auch in Abwesenheit eines Oxidators initiiert werden. Zur systematischen Untersuchung des Zündverhaltens von Zerfallsreaktionen wurde eine Rohrapparatur mit einem schnell öffnenden Kugelhahn aufgebaut, um praxisnahe Vorgänge darstellen zu können. Am Beispiel Tetrafluorethen (TFE) wurden umfangreiche Untersuchungen mit unterschiedlichen Rohrdurchmessern und –längen durchgeführt. Neben der Kompression von homogenen Gasphasen wurden außerdem Kompressionsvorgänge von heterogenen Gasen durchgeführt. Dabei war das Gas im Niederdruckteil unterschiedlich zum Gas im Hochdruckteil. Für den Hochdruckteil wurde Stickstoff, Acetylen und TFE verwendet. Im Niederdruckteil kamen TFE, Stickstoff und Luft zum Einsatz. Zudem wurden das Kompressionsverhältnis sowie die Absolutdrücke im Hochdruck- und Kompressionsteil variiert. Für TFE wurde ein Druckbereich bis 30 bar absolut untersucht. Versuche mit Acetylen wurden zur apparativen Validierung durchgeführt. Es zeigte sich, dass in der verwendeten Apparatur reproduzierbare Zündvorgänge nur im Bereich sehr enger Anfangsparameter möglich sind. Die Kompression von Luft durch ein zerfallsfähiges Gas stellt dabei den sicherheitstechnisch kritischsten Fall dar. T2 - 13.

Laboratory and full-scale experimental trials are used to test the tank performance and integrity in such scenarios. However, strong uncertainties usually affect the actual fire load experienced by the tank, in particular when large-scale experiments are carried out in open test fields. Such uncertainties arise from several factors difficult to control during experimental tests, such as the atmospheric conditions as there is the influence of wind drifts influencing the actual fire engulfment, the flame temperature and the flame dynamic distribution around the target. Consequently, verifying the concordance of an experimental test with standard test criteria and defining accurate boundary conditions in correlated model simulations is challenging. In this study, the development of a novel method for the analysis of fire conditions based on image processing is presented. The approach allows identifying the flame coverage on the target surface during the test and provides an accurate map of the flame distribution on the equipment over time. The approach is tested using experimental data from a full-scale fire test campaign carried out on liquid hydrogen cryogenic tanks. The results prove to be accurate in replicating the experimental temperatures measured on the outer tank shell during the test. The proposed methodology can be used to better understand the results of experimental fire tests and to characterize realistic fire scenarios, also supporting the definition of fire test requirements. Moreover, the approach produces results that can be implemented as advanced space-time-varying boundary conditions in simulation models, improving their accuracy in reproducing real cases.

Die Experimente zielten darauf ab, eine unbeabsichtigte Freisetzung von LH2 (z.B. durch Schlauchabriss) insbesondere bei der Betankung eines Schiffes zu simulieren. Für verflüssigtes Erdgas (LNG) wurden dabei sog. RPT’s (rapid phase transition) nachgewiesen, bei denen die spontane Verdampfung relevante Druckwellen erzeugt. Es kann nicht ausgeschlossen werden, dass RPTs auch im Falle von LH2 möglich sind. Die Versuche wurden auf dem Testareal Wasserstoffsicherheit auf dem Testgelände Technische Sicherheit der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM-TTS) in Horstwalde, im Rahmen einer Forschungskooperation zwischen der BAM und Gexcon im Rahmen des SH2IFT-Programms durchgeführt. Die LH2-Freisetzungen erfolgten direkt aus einem LH2-Tanklastwagen über eine lange, flexible, vakuumisolierte Transferleitung. Während die Freisetzung oberhalb und unterhalb der Wasseroberfläche jeweils vertikal orientiert war, wurde bei der Unterwasserfreisetzung zusätzlich eine horizontale Ausströmung, parallel zur Wasseroberfläche realisiert. Zur Bestimmung des Massenstromes, wurde ein Wägesystem unter dem Tankwagen eingesetzt. Spezielle Drucksensoren wurden verwendet, um die durch die Freisetzungsvorgänge erzeugten Stoßwellen sowohl im Wasser als auch in der Luft zu messen. Die Gaskonzentrationen über dem Wasserbecken wurden an verschiedenen Positionen gemessen. Hochgeschwindigkeits-, Infrarot- (IR) und normale Kameras wurden eingesetzt, um die Phänomenologie der Freisetzung aufzuzeichnen und das Verhalten der Gaswolke im Zeitverlauf zu verfolgen. Neben den fest installierten Systemen an Land, kamen auch Unterwasserkameras sowie eine Drohne mit Normal- und IR-Kameras zum Einsatz. Zwei Wetterstationen wurden zur Messung von Windgeschwindigkeit, Windrichtung, Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit während aller durchgeführten Tests eingesetzt. Des Weiteren kamen Bolometer zur Wärmestrahlungsmessung zum Einsatz. Zwar führten die Freisetzung zu einer hochturbulenten LH2/Wasser Mischzone, jedoch zu keinen nennenswerten Überdrücken durch RPT. Im Gegensatz dazu wurde unerwartet, aber reproduzierbar, eine Zündung der Gaswolke in freier Luft in einiger Entfernung von den Instrumenten und dem Ort der Freisetzung beobachtet. Die daraus resultierenden Gaswolkenexplosionen führten zu relevanten Überdrücken und zur Wärmeabstrahlung in die Umgebung.

Since hydrogen is usually stored and transported under pressure, one scenario to be considered is the momentum driven release of hydrogen from a leakage with subsequent ignition. In this scenario, the emitted heat radiation from the resulting jet flame to the surroundings has to be determined to define adequate safety distances. For hydrocarbon flames, different jet flame models are available to assess the hazards resulting from an ignited jet release. Since hydrogen flames differ from hydrocarbon flames in their combustion behavior, it has to be checked if these models are also applicable for hydrogen. To evaluate the accuracy of these models for hydrogen jet flames, tests with a horizontal outlet at large-scale are carried out at the BAM Test Site for Technical Safety (BAM-TTS). Herein, the flame geometry and the heat radiation at defined locations in the surroundings are recorded for varying release parameters such as release pressure (currently up to max. 250 bar), mass flow (up to max. 0.175 kg/s) at an outlet diameter of 30 mm (with an upstream nozzle of 7.7 mm). The challenge here is the characterization of the flame geometry in an open environment and its impact on the thermal radiation. Existing heat radiation data from the literature are mostly based on unsteady outflow conditions. For a better comparability with the steady state jet flame models, the experiments presented here are focused on ensuring a constant mass flow over the release duration (currently 120 s) to obtain a stationary jet flame. In addition, stationary outflow tests with hydrocarbons (methane) were also carried out, which are intended to serve as reference tests for checking flame models based on hydrocarbon data. The comparison of the flame geometry shows that hydrogen jet flames with the same outlet mass flow have a greater flame length (average deviation of 15 %) but a smaller flame diameter than methane jet flames (average deviation of 17 %). Conclusions regarding thermal radiation show that the proportion of total combustion energy emitted as thermal radiation is lower for hydrogen (x_rad= 0.04–0.09) than for methane (x_rad = 0.06–0.1). A comparison of the surface emissive power (SEP) of the jet flame shows a SEP range of 7 kW/m2-15 kW/m2 for hydrogen and 3 kW/m2 - 9,5 kW/m2 for methane.

T1 - Real scale safety investigations of hydrogen jet flames at high pressure N2 - In order to reduce the human footprint of CO2 emissions and limit global warming effects hydrogen combustion is becoming increasingly important. To enable fuel cells and gas turbines to operates this carbon free fuel, unprecedently large amounts of hydrogen need to be produced and safely transported and stored. The investigation of the effects of accidents involving hydrogen is therefore becoming of outmost importance. Since hydrogen is usually stored and transported under pressure, one scenario to be considered is the release of hydrogen from a leakage with subsequent ignition. The resulting jet flame must be characterized with respect to the thermal radiation emitted into the environment to define safety regulations. Various models that characterize the resulting flame shape and radiation already exist in the literature, but these are mainly based on empirical data from hydrocarbon jet flames.[1-4] To verify these models, a H2 Jet Flame project conducted at BAM, is investigating the safety of momentum driven hydrogen jet flames. For this purpose, large-scale tests are carried out at the Test Site Technical Safety (BAM-TTS). The object of the investigations is to assess the effects of real scale release scenarios regarding flame geometry and the thermal radiation emitted. Parameters such as release angle, leakage diameter (currently 1 mm to 10 mm), pressure (currently up to max. 250 bar) and mass flow (up to max. 0.5 kg/s) are varied. In addition, influences such as the type of ignition, ignition location as well as delayed ignition can also be investigated. The gained knowledge will be compared with existing jet flame models, to validate these and identify a possible need for further development. In particular, the focus will be laid on the thermal radiation of hydrogen flames. The challenge here is the visualization and characterization of the flame geometry in an open environment. Visualization is performed using infrared (IR) camera systems from at least two viewing angles. Measurements of the heat radiation of jet flames, which can be found in the literature, are mostly based on unsteady outflow conditions. The experimental setup used here allows for the generation of a steady-state outflow for several minutes and thus a direct comparability with existing (steady-state) models. Furthermore, the tests can be carried out for comparative measurements with hydrocarbons (methane, etc.) as well as mixtures of hydrogen and hydrocarbons.

T1 - Experimental Investigation into the Consequences of Release of Liquified Hydrogen onto and under Water N2 - Large-scale experiments have been performed to investigate the possible consequences of realistic amounts of liquified hydrogen (LH2) encountering water. The experiments aimed at simulating an accidental release of LH2 onto water, for instance during the fuelling of a ship. For liquified natural gas (LNG), it has been demonstrated that physical explosions may occur when it is spilled onto water. These phenomena are referred as rapid phase transitions (RPTs). It cannot be excluded that RPTs are also possible in the case of LH2. The tests were performed at the Test Site Technical Safety of the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und –prüfung (BAM) in Horstwalde, Germany. The tests were performed in a 10 m x 10 x 1.5 m basin filled with water. LH2 releases of up to about 1 kg/s were established releasing directly from a trailer carrying LH2. The releases occurred from a height of 50 cm above the water surface pointing downwards, 30 cm under the water surface pointing downwards and 30 cm under the water surface pointed along the water surface. All release configurations resulted in a very chaotic LH2-water mixing zone, causing considerable evaporation and resulting in minor over pressures. No RPTs were observed. The main phenomenon to be observed is, however, an ignition of the released gas cloud resulting in significant blast wave overpressures and heat radiation to the surroundings. The ignition occurred in all under-water releases and in about 90 % of the releases above the water surface.

TFE belongs to the group of chemically instable gases which are able to decompose under specific conditions releasing a huge amount of heat comparable to a gas explosion of flammable gases. Due to several incidents in PTFE – production plants the investigation of the safety related properties of TFE at elevated condition was necessary and resulted in a research project at BAM which is subsidized by the PlasticsEurope association. In a first stage the pressure dependence of the Minimum Ignition Temperature for Decomposition (MITD) was determined in the range of 0.5 MPa - 3 MPa in small autoclaves with volumes of 0.2 dm³ and 3 dm³. These results were used to validate the numerical model and were found to correlate quite well with the simulated values. Nevertheless the applicability had to be confirmed for larger volumes as well. Therefore a heat able 100-dm³-autoclave was constructed and build to determine the MITD in the range of 0.5 MPa to 1.1 MPa.

T1 - Medium-scale tests to investigate the possibility and effects of BLEVEs of storage vessels containing liquified hydrogen N2 - Experiments have been performed to determine the consequences of a storage vessel containing liquified hydrogen (LH2) is engulfed by a fire. The tests were performed at the Test Site Technical Safety of the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und –prüfung (BAM) in Germany within a research cooperation between BAM and Gexcon as part of the SH2IFT program. Three tests were performed using double-walled vacuum insulated vessels of 1 m3 volume varying the orientation of the vessel and the effect of the insulation material used (perlite or multi-layer insulation (MLI)). The degree of filling of the vessel was approximately 35 % in each of the tests performed. The fire load was provided by a propane fed burner positioned under the storage vessel and designed to give a homogeneous fire load. In one of the tests a rupture of the storage vessel occurred causing a blast, a fireball and fragments. Apart from measuring these consequences, the conditions in the vessel (e.g. temperatures and pressure) during the heating process were monitored in all three tests. The work described was undertaken as part of the project Safe Hydrogen fuel handling and Use for Efficient Implementation (SH2IFT).

N2 - In this paper, we present an autonomous aerial robot to reconstruct tomographic 2D slices of gas plumes in outdoor environments. Our platform, the so-called Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Remote Gas Sensing (UAV-REGAS) combines a lightweight Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) sensor with a 3-axis aerial stabilization gimbal for aiming on a versatile octocopter. The TDLAS sensor provides integral gas concentration measurements but no information regarding the distance traveled by the laser diode's beam or the distribution of the gas along the optical path. We complemented the set-up with a laser rangefinder and apply principles of Computed Tomography (CT) to create a model of the spatial gas distribution from these integral concentration measurements. To allow for a rudimentary ground truth evaluation of the applied gas tomography algorithm, we set up a unique outdoor test environment based on two 3D ultrasonic anemometers and a distributed array of 10 infrared gas transmitters. We present first results showing the 2D plume reconstruction capabilities of the system under realistic conditions.

T1 - Experimental investigation on the self-heating and decomposition of tetrafluoroethylene in a 100-dm³-reactor N2 - In the industry there is a lack of data on the Minimum Ignition Temperature of decomposition of tetrafluoroethylene in industrial sized equipment. In order to determine the Minimum Ignition Temperature of Decomposition of tetrafluoroethylene in large scale vessels, a facility was designed and constructed. Tests were carried out in a cylindrical reactor with a volume of 100 dm³ with initial pressures of 5 and 10 bar(a). In agreement with previous experiments with small scale cylindrical vessels, the Minimum Ignition Temperature of Decomposition of tetrafluoroethylene was observed to decrease with the initial pressure. The current paper describes the test setup and summarizes the experimental results achieved. The effect of the reactor adjustment (vertical or horizontal) is discussed. Moreover, simplified equations from the Semenov thermal explosion theory are used to attempt extrapolations of previous and current data on the Minimum Ignition Temperature of Decomposition of tetrafluoroethylene to other initial pressures and vessel volumes.

Furthermore, simplified equations from the Semenov thermal explosion theory are used to attempt extrapolations of previous and current data on the Minimum Ignition Temperature of Decomposition of tetrafluoroethylene to other vessel volumes or initial pressures. Moreover, the experimental data are plotted together against the heated volume to heated surface ratio, which should provide a better extrapolation to other vessel dimensions by taking into account that the efficiency of the dispersion of the heat generated by the reaction is different for two reactors with the same volume but different diameter. Finally, simplified methods for predicting the Minimum Ignition Temperature of Decomposition of tetrafluoroethylene presented previously by the authors are validated for large scale reactors with the experimental data collected within the current work.

The ignition of tetrafluoroethylene induced by adiabatic compression has been studied experimentally with a setup which allowed for the rapid opening of a high speed valve connecting two portions of a pipeline at different initial pressures. Due to the fast opening time and to the high pressure difference, a shock wave in the pipeline was generated. The propagation of the shock wave and its reflection at the end of the pipeline caused pressure and temperature increase. This led to some ignitions in the experiments performed. Nonetheless, in some test an ignition was not achieved, even if this was expected according to the theoretical temperatures predicted by the Rankine-Hugoniot equations. In order to understand the discrepancy between the experimental results and the theoretical predictions, shock wave simulations have been carried out with COMSOL Multiphysics. The 'High Mach Flow' interface was used, since it solves the heat and impulse equations for fast flows. Figure 1 and Figure 2 show, respectively, the velocity and temperature distribution over time for a simulation in a 0.2 m pipeline of 20 mm in diameter with the following settings: - high pressure section: nitrogen initially at 20 bar; - low pressure section: nitrogen initially at 1 bar; - initial temperature of the system: 20 °C; - adiabatic walls with slip condition for the flow; - laminar flow. As from Figure 1 and Figure 2 the shock wave generation and propagation has been properly computed and the physical properties of the shock wave reflected the prediction of the Rankine-Hugoniot equation. Nonetheless, divergence problem occurred when trying to add turbulence to the system and strange temperature and profiles after the shock wave reflection were achieved if the no slip condition at the walls was chosen. Despite these limitations, it was possible to perform a parametric study and to analyze the effect of the pipe diameter and length on the shock wave evolution. Here simulations with constant wall temperature were carried out, in order to account for the heat losses to the pipe surroundings. Figure 3 shows that the temperature of the reflected wave is maintained for a longer time, if the pipe diameter is larger, due to minor heat losses. On the other hand, Figure 4 shows that higher average temperatures are achieved and maintained for a longer time if the pipe length increases. These results suggest that in the experiments performed by Meyer (2009) the pipe geometry was probably not optimal for the achievement/conservation of high temperatures and might explain the difficulty in inducing ignitions by adiabatic compression.

T1 - Self-ignition of tetrafluoroethylene induced by rapid valve opening in small diameter pipes N2 - This work investigates the ignition of tetrafluoroethylene induced by the adiabatic compression that can arise by activating a high speed valve separating two portions of a pipeline with a high pressure difference. In the tests performed the high pressure zone contained tetrafluoroethylene at pressures between 15 and 30 bar. For the low pressure zone, experiments with nitrogen, air and tetrafluoroethylene were carried out. The pressure range in the low pressure zone was comprised between 0.05 and 1 bar. The pipe diameters analyzed were 15 and 20 mm. For the analyzed geometries, special conditions were required in order to reach reproducible ignitions, namely air at temperatures of at least 105 °C had to be present in the compression pipe. Furthermore, a minimum length of the compression pipe had to be used. The current work describes the experimental setup employed for the tests and discusses the achieved results. Numerical simulations were performed in order to clarify unexpected findings.

T1 - Study of the spontaneous ignition of stoichiometric tetrafluoroethylene-air mixtures at elevated pressures N2 - The Ignition Temperature (IT) of stoichiometric tetrafluoroethylene–air mixtures on hot walls was determined in a 3-dm³-reactor. Tests at elevated pressure conditions were performed, namely at 5, 15 and 25 bar(a), showing a decrease of the IT with the initial pressure. Furthermore, the measured ignition temperatures of stoichiometric tetrafluoroethylene–air mixtures were lower than the ignition temperatures required for the decomposition pure tetrafluoroethylene (Minimum Ignition Temperature of Decomposition, MITD) reported in previous works. Equations from the Semenov thermal explosion theory on spontaneous ignition were used to identify approximate combustion kinetics of tetrafluoroethylene from the experimental results. The determined kinetics was used for the prediction of the IT of stoichiometric tetrafluoroethylene-air by simplified calculation methods. A very good agreement with the experimental results was observed.

T1 - The explosive decomposition of tetrafluoroethylene: large scale tests and simulations N2 - There is a lack of data on the self-ignition behaviour of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) in industrial sized equipment. In order to assess the tendency of TFE for decomposition in large scale vessels, , a facility was designed and constructed. Tests were carried out in a cylindrical reactor with a volume of 100 L with initial pressures of 5 and 10 bar(a). The effect of the reactor adjustment (vertical or horizontal) was taken into account. The current work describes the test set up and summarizes the experimental results achieved. Furthermore, this paper reports on a numerical model for the prediction of the self -heating of TFE in closed vessels, which was previously developed for small scale reactors and has been here validated for larger dimensions with the experiments performed in the new facility.

A1 - Schröder, Volkmar T1 - On the minimum ignition temperature for the explosive decomposition of tetrafluoroethylene on hot walls: Experiments and calculations N2 - The Minimum Ignition Temperature of Decomposition (MITD) of tetrafluoroethylene in a partially heated pipe was analyzed for different initial pressures (5, 10 and 15 bara). The pipe used had an internal length of 1 m, an internal diameter of 30 mm with a volume of about 0.7 dm³ and was vertically oriented. Pressure at the pipe top and temperature at four different locations along the pipe axis were measured. Tetrafluoroethylene was found to decompose at lower temperatures for increasing initial pressures, in agreement with previous tests with reactors with fully heated walls. A complete passive quenching in the non-heated part of the pipe was observed only for an initial pressure of 5 bara, while for higher initial pressures, the decomposition propagated completely along the test pipe. Moreover, the test results on the MITD were compared with data from previous experiments in fully heated 0.2 and 3 dm³ cylindrical reactors and showed a decrease of the MITD with the heated volume through heated surface ratio of the vessel. Furthermore, the prediction of the MITD of tetrafluoroethylene by simplified calculation methods was attempted, showing a good agreement with the experimental results.

The tests were performed at the Test Site Technical Safety of the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und –prüfung (BAM) in Germany at the Hydrogen Test Area (H2TA) within a research cooperation between BAM and Gexcon as part of the SH2IFT program. Three tests were performed using double-walled vacuum insulated vessels of 1 m3 volume. The cylindrical Vessels differed in orientation (horizontal or vertical) and the insulation material used (perlite or multi-layer insulation (MLI)). The degree of filling of the vessels was approximately 35-40 % in each of the tests performed. The fire load was provided by a propane fed burner-system positioned under the storage vessel and designed to give a homogeneous fire load. The conditions in the vessel (temperatures and pressure) as well as external effects (heat radiation, blast waves, flame ball development and fragmentation) were measured. All vessels were equipped with K-type thermocouples at several locations at the inner and outer vessel shell. The pressure inside the inner vessel and in the space between the inner and outer vessels (vacuum pressure) was measured. Bolometers were used to measure the heat radiation generated by both the propane fire and that generated by a possible fireball/BLEVE. To measure blast generated by the vessel burst/BLEVEs blast pencils were positioned at up to three locations. Further several cameras were used to monitor the events: normal cameras, infrared (IR)-cameras, high-speed cameras also on board of an UAV. Two of these vessels, a horizontal and a vertical vessel both insulated with perlite withstood the fire loading for 1 hour 20 minutes and 4 hours respectively without catastrophic failure. A horizontal vessel insulated with MLI failed by bursting after 1 hour and 6 minutes resulting in a fireball, fragments, and blast wave.

ED - Schmelzer, P. T1 - Identifying hazardous conditions for rapid compression scenarios of chemically unstable gases in industrial scaled pipes N2 - The polymeric industry handles Tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) as basic material for polymer (PTFE) and co-polymer (PCTFE) production. As a chemically unstable gas, it can react in an explosive way, without the presence of any other gases. Once initiated such an exothermic reaction can propagate through the pipe system of a plant and might lead to massive damages and/or fatalities. Especially after maintenance parts of the pipe systems can be filled with TFE, nitrogen or air at pressures up to atmospheric conditions whereas connected parts of pipes might still contain TFE at operating pressure state. Many of the regarding pipes are separated by ball valves, which allow a fast opening procedure. Thereby fast compression of the gas can occur and lead to a massive temperature increase which might induce unwanted reactions. Former tests in laboratory scale described by Meyer (2009) allowed an ignition of a TFE/air system by rapid compression only for a set of sharp defined boundary conditions. First tests in the lower industrial scale were done by Ferrero et al. (2013), where an ignition at typical industrial operating conditions was initiated. The results of the tests indicated that the critical achievable compression temperatures strongly depend on the setup and therefore on the pipe diameter as well. Therefore the necessity of further tests has been pointed out. The original setup presented by Ferrero (2013), which represents the smallest typical industrial size with an inner diameter of 1.125”, was modified to withstand an explosive decomposition reaction and to avoid a deflagration to detonation transition. Different safety concepts as burst discs and time controlled cut-off valves had been tested and evaluated to optimize the experimental setup for reproducible test conditions. This allowed the systematic investigation of the rapid compression of TFE–systems for the first time in the described scale without serious damages after an ignition. In the donor pipe always TFE at high pressure and in the receiving pipe TFE, nitrogen or air were present at an absolute pressure ranging from 500 Pa to atmospheric pressure. The scope was to generate a “hazard diagram” in which the ignition probability in dependence of donor (high) pressure and the receiving (low) pressure is shown. Hazardous conditions can easily be determined. A reference method for the maximum achievable temperatures of non-reacting gas systems was created using an air/air-system. Thus reactive TFE-systems could be evaluated regarding additional exothermic effects. The final hazard diagram demonstrates that there is no sharp limit between a “safe” state and an “ignition” for a TFE/air-system. Rather a transition range exists, which decreases with rising donor pressure. An increased temperature in this range, sometimes combined with small pressure peaks in the profile, indicates first partial restricted reactions near the end flange. The more it gets closer to the “ignition” transition the more traces like soot or undefined solid fractions were found. A TFE/nitrogen- and a TFE/TFE-system could not be ignited at all. A description of the experimental tests as well as a detailed explanation of the hazard diagram will be presented.

Aufgrund seiner Eigenschaft als chemisch instabiles Gas kann TFE auch ohne Luftsauerstoff oder einen anderen Oxydator explosionsartig zerfallen. Nach der Initiierung des Zerfalls kann dieser unter bestimmten Bedingungen aufgrund des exothermen Reaktionsverhaltens sich selbstständig in Apparaten und Rohrleitungen ausbreiten. Dies geht aufgrund der freigesetzten Reaktionsenthalpie mit einem schlagartigen Anstieg von Druck und Temperatur einher, was zu erheblichen Belastungen der Materialien bis hin zum Versagen und Bruch und möglichen Folgeschäden einschließlich Personenschäden führen kann und in der Vergangenheit bereits mehrfach geführt hat. Besonders nach Wartungsarbeiten besteht die Gefahr, dass Teilabschnitte im Rohrleitungssystem mit TFE, Stickstoff oder Luft gefüllt sind mit Drücken in einem Bereich zwischen technischem Vakuum und atmosphärischem Druck wohingegen angrenzende Rohrabschnitte oder Behälter immer noch TFE bei Betriebsdrücken bis 32 bar enthalten können. Dabei sind die Abschnitte in der Praxis häufig durch Kugelhähne voneinander getrennt, die aufgrund ihrer Öffnungscharakteristik bereits bei geringen Betätigungswinkeln eine große Querschnittsfreigabe für die Strömung im Rohr ermöglichen. Dadurch können schlagartige Kompressionsvorgänge des Gases im Niederdruckbereich ermöglicht werden, die allein aufgrund der thermodynamischen Zustandsänderung zu einer erheblichen Temperaturerhöhung führen und im schlimmsten Fall zur Initiierung der Zerfallsreaktion führen können. Es wird erstmalig ein Versuchsaufbau im Industriemaßstab, der einer explosionsartigen Zerfallsreaktion von TFE standhalten kann. Zahlreiche Sicherheitskonzepte einschließlich diverser Berstscheibenkonfigurationen als auch zeitgesteuerte Schnellschlussventile wurden eingehend untersucht und bewertet, um die optimale Versuchskonfiguration für bestmögliche Reproduzierbarkeit festzulegen. Es fand eine systematische Untersuchung der schlagartigen Kompression der Systeme Luft/Luft, TFE/Luft, TFE/TFE und TFE/N2 statt. In der Hochdrucksektion wurden Drücke bis 30 bar realisiert und im Niederdrucksektor konnten Anfangsdrücke im Bereich weniger Millibar bis hin zu Atmosphärendruck eingestellt werden. Als Hauptergebnis wurde ein „Hazard diagram“ erstellt, mit dessen Hilfe die Zündwahrscheinlichkeit in Abhängigkeit vom Hochdruck und Niederdruck abgeschätzt werden kann. Gefährliche Bedingungen in Rohrleitungen können dadurch auf einfachem Weg identifiziert werden. Als Referenzsystem zur Beurteilung der maximal erreichbaren nicht reaktiven Kompressions-temperaturen wurde Luft/Luft verwendet. Die damit ermittelten Daten dienten zur Bewertung von zusätzlichen exothermen Effekten, wie sie etwa bei Vorreaktion des TFE im Falle einer Dimerisierung auftreten können. Entgegen der ursprünglichen Annahme konnten die Systeme TFE/Stickstoff und TFE/TFE im verwendeten Aufbau nicht durch Kompressionsvorgänge gezündet werden. T2 - 12.

Spectroscopic measurement methods for remote sensing of selected gases lend themselves for use on mini-copters, which offer a number of advantages for inspection and surveillance. No direct contact with the target gas is needed and thus the influence of the aerial platform on the measured gas plume can be kept to a minimum. This allows to overcome one of the major issues with gas-sensitive mini-copters. On the other hand, remote gas sensors, most prominently Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) sensors have been too bulky given the payload and energy restrictions of mini-copters. Here, we introduce and present the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Remote Gas Sensing (UAV-REGAS), which combines a novel lightweight TDLAS sensor with a 3-axis aerial stabilization gimbal for aiming on a versatile hexacopter. The proposed system can be deployed in scenarios that cannot be addressed by currently available robots and thus constitutes a significant step forward for the field of Mobile Robot Olfaction (MRO). It enables tomographic reconstruction of gas plumes and a localization of gas sources. We also present first results showing the gas sensing and aiming capabilities under realistic conditions.

Hierbei sollte unter anderem geklärt werden, ob es, analog zu druckverflüssigten Gasen, zu einem BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Cloud Explosion) kommen kann. Die Experimente wurden auf dem Testareal Wasserstoffsicherheit des Testgeländes Technische Sicherheit der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM-TTS) im Rahmen einer Forschungskooperation zwischen der BAM und Gexcon, als Teil des SH2IFT-Programms durchgeführt. Es handelte sich um doppelwandige, vakuumisolierte Tanks von 1 m³ Volumen. Die zylindrischen Tanks unterschieden sich durch ihre Ausrichtung (horizontal oder vertikal) und das verwendete Isoliermaterial (Perlit oder Mehrschichtisolierung (MLI). Der Füllgrad der Tanks betrug bei jedem der durchgeführten Tests etwa 35-40 %. Die Brandlast wurde homogen durch ein propangasbetriebenes Brennersystem erzeugt. Gemessen wurden die Bedingungen im Behälter (Temperaturen und Druck) sowie äußere Randbedingungen und Auswirkungen beim Versagen (Wärmestrahlung, Druckwellen, Flammenballentwicklung und Fragmentierung). Mit Bolometern wurde die Wärmestrahlung gemessen, die sowohl durch das Propanfeuer als auch durch einen möglichen Feuerball/BLEVE erzeugt wurde. Zur Messung der durch das Bersten von Behältern/BLEVEs erzeugten Druckwellen wurden sog. Pencil-Probes verwendet. Des Weiteren wurden mehrere Kameras zur Überwachung der Experimente eingesetzt: Normalbildkameras, Infrarot (IR)-Kameras und Hochgeschwindigkeitskameras, sowohl bodengestützt als auch mittels einer Drohne.

The tests were performed at the Test Site Technical Safety of the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und –prüfung (BAM) in Horstwalde, Germany. Three tests were performed using double-walled vacuum insulated vessels of 1 m3 volume. The cylindrical Vessels differed in orientation (horizontal or vertical) and the insulation material used (perlite or multi-layer insulation (MLI)). The degree of filling of the vessels was approximately 35-40 % in each of the tests performed. The fire load was provided by a propane fed burner positioned under the storage vessel and designed to give a homogeneous fire load. The conditions in the vessel (temperatures and pressure) as well as external effects (heat radiation, blast waves, flame ball development and fragmentation) were measured. All vessels were equipped with K-type thermocouples at several locations: inside the inner vessel in the gas phase and the liquid phase, on the inner and outer side of the inner vessel and on the inner and outer side of the outer vessel. The pressure inside the inner vessel (both in liquid, as a level indicator, and gaseous phase), and in the space between the inner and outer vessels (vacuum pressure) was measured. Bolometers were used to measure the heat radiation generated by both the propane fire and that generated by a possible fireball/BLEVE. To measure blast generated by the vessel burst/BLEVEs blast pencils were positioned at three locations in two directions. Weather conditions were monitored at two weather stations. Further several cameras were used to monitor the events: normal cameras, infrared (IR)-cameras, high-speed cameras also on board of a drone. Two of these vessels, a horizontal and a vertical vessel both insulated with perlite withstood the fire loading for 1 hour 20 minutes and 4 hours respectively without catastrophic failure. A horizontal vessel insulated with MLI failed by bursting after 1 hour and 6 minutes resulting in a fireball, fragments, and blast waves.

Die Untersuchung von Störfallauswirkungen mit Wasserstoff rückt somit stärker in den Fokus. Da Wasserstoff meist unter Druck gelagert und transportiert wird, ist ein zu betrachtendes Szenario die Freisetzung aus einer Leckage mit anschließender Zündung. Die daraus resultierende Freistrahlflamme (Jet Flame) muss hinsichtlich der in die Umgebung emittierten Wärmestrahlung charakterisiert werden. In der Literatur existieren bereits verschiedene Modelle, welche jedoch vermehrt auf Daten aus Kohlenwasserstoffflammen mit geringem Impuls basieren. Zur Überprüfung dieser Modelle wird im Zuge des BAM internen H2 Jet Flame Projektes die sicherheitstechnische Untersuchung von impulsbehafteten Wasserstoff Freistrahlflammen vorgenommen. Hierfür finden Versuche im Realmaßstab auf dem Testgelände Technische Sicherheit der BAM (BAM-TTS) statt. Gegenstand der Untersuchungen ist die Beurteilung der Auswirkungen von realistischen Freisetzungsszenarien hinsichtlich der Flammengeometrie und der freigesetzten Wärmestrahlung. Dabei werden Parameter wie Freisetzungswinkel, Leckagedurchmesser (z.Zt. 1 mm bis 10 mm), Druck (z.Zt. bis max. 250 bar) und Massenstrom (bis max. 0,5 kg/s) variiert. Zusätzlich können auch Einflüsse wie Art der Zündung, Zündort sowie Zündung mit zeitlichem Verzug untersucht werden. Gewonnene Erkenntnisse werden mit den Ergebnissen bereits vorhandener Modelle verglichen und diese im Bedarfsfall weiterentwickelt. Insbesondere wird der Fokus auf die Modellierung der freigesetzten Wärmestrahlung von Wasserstoffflammen gelegt. Herausforderung dabei stellt die IR-Vermessung und Modellierung von Sichtmodellen der Flammen dar. Die Visualisierung der Flammengeometrie wird mit Hilfe mehrerer Infrarot Kamerasystemen (aus mindestens zwei Blickwinkeln) vorgenommen. Bisherige Messungen, die in der Literatur zu finden sind, basieren meist auf instationären Auströmbedingungen. Der hier verwendete Versuchsaufbau ermöglicht ein stationäres Ausströmen für mehrere Minuten und somit eine direkte Vergleichbarkeit mit den existierenden (stationären) Modellen. Weiterhin ist der Versuchsstand umrüstbar für Vergleichsmessungen mit Kohlenwasserstoffen (Methan etc.) sowie Mischungen aus Wasserstoff und Kohlenwasserstoffen.

Die Experimente wurden auf dem Testareal Wasserstoffsicherheit des Testgeländes Technische Sicherheit der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM-TTS) im Rahmen einer Forschungskooperation zwischen der BAM und Gexcon, als Teil des SH2IFT-Programms durchgeführt. Es handelte sich um doppelwandige, vakuumisolierte Tanks von 1 m³ Volumen. Die zylindrischen Tanks unterschieden sich durch ihre Ausrichtung (horizontal oder vertikal) und das verwendete Isoliermaterial (Perlit oder Mehrschichtisolierung (MLI). Der Füllgrad der Tanks betrug bei jedem der durchgeführten Tests etwa 35-40 %. Die Brandlast wurde homogen durch ein propangasbetriebenes Brennersystem erzeugt. Gemessen wurden die Bedingungen im Behälter (Temperaturen und Druck) sowie äußere Randbedingungen und Auswirkungen beim Versagen (Wärmestrahlung, Druckwellen, Flammenballentwicklung und Fragmentierung). Mit Bolometern wurde die Wärmestrahlung gemessen, die sowohl durch das Propanfeuer als auch durch einen möglichen Feuerball/BLEVE erzeugt wurde.

So kam es in der Vergangenheit etwa in TFE-verarbeitenden Anlagen wiederholt zu Störfällen durch Adiabate Kompressionsvorgänge des Monomers. Unter dem Begriff „zerfallsfähige Gase“ oder auch „chemisch-instabile Gase“ versteht man Gase, bei denen es auch in Abwesenheit eines Oxidators nach einer Zündung zu einem explosionsartigem Reaktionsverlauf kommen kann, wie es etwa beim Tetrafluorethylen (TFE) der Fall ist. Die Zerfallsreaktion von TFE ist in Gleichung dargestellt. Sobald eine Zündquelle die Zerfallsreaktion initiiert, kann diese bei bestimmten Anfangsbedingungen von Druck und Temperatur explosionsartig verlaufen. Die schnelle Reaktionsrate zusammen mit der hohen Exothermie der Reaktion kann zur Bildung von heftigen Explosionen führen, wie sie sonst nur bei Brenngas/Oxidator-Gernischen üblich sind. T2 - 11.

Additionally, its high volumetric energy density, compared to gaseous or compressed hydrogen, enhances hydrogen storage capabilities. However, safety remains a major concern due to its physical-chemical properties and inherent hazardous characteristics, especially in the event of spillage scenarios. Therefore, to better understand the consequences of LH2 releases onto or into water, large-scale experimental tests were conducted by Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) within the Safe Hydrogen Fuel Handling and Use for Efficient Implementation (SH2IFT) project at the Test Site Technical Safety of BAM, comprising 75 single spill events at varied release rates and orientations. While the rapid phase transition (RPT) phenomenon was not observed, selfignition of the hydrogen-air cloud occurred, accompanied by blast wave overpressure and heat radiation, without a discernible ignition source. These findings emphasize the need for further investigation into LH2 safety. Leveraging experimental data for real-world applications provides insights into safe LH2 infrastructure implementation, laying foundational knowledge for addressing safety challenges and advancing LH2 technology.

The experiments aimed at simulating an accidental release of LH2 during especially the fuelling of a ship. For liquified natural gas (LNG) it has been demonstrated that when spilled onto water the evaporation rate can be that high that physical explosions occur which are referred as rapid phase transitions (RPTs). It cannot be excluded that RPTs are also possible in the case of LH2. The tests were performed in a 10 m x 10 m x 1.5 m basin filled with water, at the Test Site Technical Safety of the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und –prüfung (BAM) in Horstwalde, Germany within a research cooperation between BAM and Gexcon as part of the SH2IFT program. LH2 releases were established releasing directly from a trailer carrying LH2 through a long flexible double vacuum insulated transfer line. The releases occurred from a height of 50 cm above and 30 cm under the water surface both pointing downwards and 30 cm under the water surface pointing along the water surface too. The release rate was determined based on the weight loss rate of the road tanker which was placed onto load cells. Special blast pressure sensors were used to measure the shock waves generated by the release processes both in the water and in the air. At several locations the gas concentration was measured. Heat radiation was measured at 3 distances from the point of release. High speed, Infrared (IR) and normal cameras were used to record events and to follow the gas cloud behaviour in time. This includes cameras mounted on a UAV and underwater cameras. Two weather stations were used to measure wind speed, wind direction, temperature and humidity during all tests performed. All investigated release configurations resulted in a very chaotic LH2-water mixing zone, causing considerable evaporation but only minor over pressures. The main phenomenon observed was an ignition of the released gas cloud, resulting in significant blast wave overpressures and heat radiation to the surroundings. The location of the ignition occurred in free air at some distance from the instrumentation and release location.

ED - Fabiano, Bruno ED - Cozzani, Valerio T1 - Heat Radiation Emanating from Hydrogen and Methane Jet Fires N2 - Modelling the heat radiation emanating from jet flames for initial hazard assessment purposes is generally done using simple, steady-state, approaches that give a quick estimation useful for impact analysis. Although nowadays CFD can be used to simulate this phenomenon in detail, it is still very demanding in computational power and time, and generally not all required boundary conditions to achieve a reliable result are known. Therefore, even today simpler empirical approaches are still widely used for consequence analysis. Hydrogen is becoming increasingly important as renewable energy carrier resulting in an increasing demand of “hydrogen-approved” models. Since the aforenamed models were mainly developed based on data from hydrocarbon jet flame experiments, it has to be verified if they also apply to hydrogen jet flames. To this purpose, real-scale tests are carried out at the BAM Test Site Technical Safety (BAM-TTS) with the aim to assess the flame geometry and the emitted thermal radiation of hydrogen and methane jet flames. In particular, the focus is laid on the measurement and modelling of the thermal radiation. Existing heat radiation data from the literature are mostly based on unsteady outflow conditions. The experimental setup used here allows for the generation of a steady-state outflow and thus a direct comparability with existing (steady-state) models. From these data, an assessment of the applicability of jet flame models to hydrogen jet flames is carried out accounting for their accuracy in predicting heat radiation and possible needs of further development.

An assessment of the measured temperatures could only be done by an own “recalibration” of the thermocouples for the very low temperature range.

T1 - Sizing of Explosion Pressure Relief using the Efflux Function N2 - Determination of deflagration venting requirements in chemical/process plants is usually carried out using well established standards employing an empirically based formula. However, this formula is shown to have severe shortcomings, especially in the range of low KG-values, where either negative or inconceivably large venting areas can be predicted. Due to these shortcomings a method has been developed using the efflux function for gases as a basis to predict the mass flow through a vent opening in a vessel during an internal explosion. The simulated rise in pressure due to the internal explosion is quantitatively determined from the KG-value, with the mass flow through the vent opening in the vessel resulting from the pressure difference between the vessel and its surroundings. This enables the maximum overpressure as a function of the pressure relief surface area to be predicted. The method takes into account the temperature of the efflux gases and turbulence enhancement brought about by the venting process. In the following paper explosion pressure relief experiments are described and the results from these experiments are compared to predictions from the efflux method. It is shown that by adjusting the assumed turbulence which evolves during the venting process, the reduced explosion pressure can be reasonably well reproduced.

The purpose of the experiments was to gather information on the behavior in fire of such vessels, depending on the initial charge of acetylene. In fact "empty" acetylene cylinders still contain the solvent in which acetylene is dissolved plus the amount of acetylene to saturation at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature and may still constitute a threat to safety. In the fire exposure tests performed the hazardousness of these vessels was demonstrated, since it was observed that not only fully charged acetylene cylinders but also cylinders with saturated solvent can explode, provided the heat transfer to the vessel is sufficient. The times to explosion were shorter for fully charged cylinders, due to the higher initial pressure and to the faster pressure increase. The effects of the explosions are comparable for both fully charged cylinders and for cylinders with saturated solvent, except for the smaller fireball which is produced in the second case, due to the smaller amount of fuel available. In both cases the cylinder walls or at least fragments can fly further than 100 m away from the burst location. Results of the experiments are presented in the paper. During the tests, temperature measurements at the cylinder walls and in the cylinder interior were performed. Furthermore, the pressure in the cylinder was recorded. The collected data will serve for the validation of a numerical model for the simulation of the heating of acetylene cylinders involved in fire and of the afterward cooling with water, which has been developed.

The lack of studies on the characterisation of the conditions experienced by, and response of, structures and process equipment directly engulfed in a hydrogen jet fire is of concern to industry. This work presents a characterisation study of a hydrogen jet fire with respect to the conditions experienced by an engulfed object. The total heat flux, along with its radiative component, was measured for hydrogen mass flow rates ranging from 0.05 to 0.2 kg/s. Heat fluxes exceeding 700 kW/m2 were measured at a location that coincided with the point of jet impact. The maximum radiative fraction measured was 20 % at the back of the tube where the specimen could receive radiation from the majority of the flame plume. It is concluded that conditions within hydrogen jet fires are notably more severe than those in hydrocarbon jet fires (for which a heat flux of 350 kW/m2 is considered high). This suggests that PFP systems should not be automatically assumed to provide protection against hydrogen jet fires without further research or actual test evidence of performance.

However, wide application of hydrogen requires specific safety considerations taking into account that hydrogen is stored and transported under much higher pressure than natural gas. Thus, one scenario to be considered for hazard assessment is a sudden release of hydrogen from a leakage or safety valve and its subsequent ignition. For hydrocarbon flames, various jet flame models are available. However, hydrogen flames significantly differ from hydrocarbon flames in their combustion behavior, so that the applicability of these models to hydrogen has to be investigated. For that purpose, reals scale tests were carried out at the BAM Test Site Technical Safety. In these tests, the flame geometry and the thermal heat radiation were investigated for a release angle of 90°, for different release pressures (up to 220 bar) and mass flows (up to 0.175 kg/s). Most existing data on thermal radiation are based on unsteady flow conditions and/or still air, whereas the experiments carried out here ensure a constant mass flow under realistic free-field conditions (with wind influence). This allows a better comparability with the stationary jet flame models and assessment of wind influence on model predictions. A number of parameters such as the surface emissive power and the radiant heat fraction were determined. A detailed comparison of the obtained experimental results with literature radiation models was performed. Based on the investigations, empirical equations for modelling jet flames could be derived.

T1 - Pressure resistance of glass capillaries for hydrogen storage N2 - Ein entscheidendes Problem neuer Wasserstofftechnologien ist die leichte und sichere Lagerung ausreichender Mengen an Wasserstoff insbesondere für Nutzung bei tragbaren oder mobilen Anwendungen. Eine neue und innovative Technologie basierend auf gebündelte Kapillaren wurde entwickelt. Diese Systeme garantieren eine sichere Speicherung, Lagerung und kontrollierte Freisetzung von Wasserstoff, obgleich Speicherdrücke bis 1200 bar angewendet werden. Die neue Technologie ermöglicht die Lagerung einer erheblich größeren Menge Wasserstoff als andere Systeme und übertraf bereits die Zielsetzung des DOE 2010. Es wird erwartet, die DOE-Zielsetzung für das Jahr 2015 bereits in naher Zukunft zu erreichen. Hauptaspekt für die Speichertechnologie ist die Druckfestigkeit der Glaskapillaren. Es ist weithin bekannt, dass besonders Quarz eine dreimal höhere Festigkeit als Stahl hat. Gleichzeitig ist die Dichte ungefähr dreimal niedriger, was bedeutet, dass viel weniger Material notwendig ist, um die gleiche Druckfestigkeit zu erreichen. Die Druckfestigkeit einzelner Kapillare ist in der Abhängigkeit der Materialien, der Abmessungen, der Wandstärke etc. ermittelt worden, um optimale Parameter für die "finalen" Kapillaren herauszufinden.

Furthermore, those cylinders are equipped with safety devices like pressure relief valves (PRV). Despite these regulations and safety measures, a failure of the Container is possible if exposed to an intense fire. The result of this is severe hazard for users, rescue forces and infrastructure. Within the framework of a destructive test series, 15 identical propane cylinders, without pressure relief devices, were exposed to an intensive fire in horizontal Position until failure. Each cylinder was filled with a mass of m =11 kg of liquid propane. Three different fire sources were used (wood, petrol, propane). The experiments revealed the failure of all cylinders in a time period t < 155 s. The failure lead to a fragmentation into several major parts with throwing distances of up to l =262 m. In all trials, the temperature of the cylinder wall (top, side, bottom), of the liquid phase inside and of the surrounding fire (top, side, bottom) was recorded. In addition, the inner cylinder pressure and the induced overpressure of the blast wave after the failure were recorded. Overpressures of up to p=0.27 bar were recorded close to the cylinder (l =5 m). AM tests were documented hy video from several positions (general view, close-up, high-speed 5000 fps). This test series creates the basis for further experimental studies in the field of alternative fuels for vehicles. The aim of this test series is to assess and analyse the consequences of the failure of gas vessels (for LPG, CNG, CGH2) in the aftermath of severe incidents.

In zahlreichen Großversuchsserien untersucht die Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) im Rahmen des internen Forschungsprojekts CoFi-ABV (Complex Fires – Auswirkungen von Behälterversagen) die Auswirkungen beim Versagen der Treibstoffbehälter dieser alternativen Antriebe. Ziel dieser Untersuchungen ist eine ganzheitliche Auswirkungsbetrachtung, um die Risiken für Feuerwehren und Rettungskräfte besser abschätzen zu können. Im Vorfeld zu den Versuchen für LPG- und CNG-Tanks wurden in einer weiteren Versuchsserie 15handelsübliche 11-kg-Propangasflaschen ohne Sicherheitseinrichtung unterfeuert. Alle 15 Behälter haben – wie zu erwarten war – versagt. Neben den Zustandsdaten des Behälters zum Versagenszeitpunkt (Temperatur des Behältermantels, Innendruck und -temperatur) wurden die Auswirkungen auf die Umgebung hinsichtlich Druckwirkung und Fragmentierung (Anzahl, Masse, Distanz, Richtung) dokumentiert.

The aim of the presented work is to holistically investigate the potential consequences of failure of these off-the-shelf propane gas vessels in case of an absence or malfunction of safety devices. In order to generate a statistically valid dataset, a total of 15 identical propane gas bottles without pressure relief device, each containing m = 11 kg of liquid propane, were underfired in horizontal position. For each selected fire type (wood fire, petrol pool fire, propane gas fire), five vessels were tested under identical conditions. Next to extensive camera equipment including a high-speed camera, systems to record the internal pressure of the gas cylinder, the resulting shock wave overpressure (three positions) and the flame and vessel temperature (three + three positions) during the underfiring were used. Also the unsteady, highly dynamical thermal radiation caused by the explosion of the expanding gas cloud was logged. The fragments were georeferenced and weighed after each test. The experiments prove the failure of all the gas cylinders at a burst pressure of pb = [71 … 98 bar] with a fragmentation into up to seven parts (average: four objects) and a subsequent explosion of the expanding vapour after mixing with the surrounding air. The overpressure measured in the close-up range (distance to the cylinder d = 5 m) resulting from the shockwave caused by the cylinder burst was up to pmax = 0.27 bar, which can potentially lead to significant injuries to humans and damage to building structures and infrastructure, especially in connection with the explosion and the resultant thermal radiation. The distance covered by the fragments after the failure was up to r = 260 m; 47% of the fragments hit the ground more than r = 50 m away from the position of failure.

To investigate the consequences in case of tank failure, we conducted 16 tests with toroidal shaped LPG vehicle tanks. Three tanks were used for a Hydraulic Burst Test under standard conditions. Another three tanks were equipped with a statutory safety device and were subjected to a gasoline pool fire. The safety device prevented tank failure, as intended. To generate a statistically valid dataset on tank failure, ten tanks without safety devices were exposed to a gasoline pool fire. Five tanks were filled to a level of 20 %; the re-maining five were filled to a level of 100 %. In order to gain information on the heating process, three tem-perature readings at the tank surface, and three nearby flame temperatures were recorded. At distances of l = (7; 9; 11) m to the tank, the overpressure of the shock wave induced by the tank failure and the unsteady tem-peratures were measured. All ten tanks failed within a time of t < 5 min in a BLEVE (boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion). Seven of these resulted directly in a catastrophic failure. The other three resulted in partial failure followed by catastrophic failure. A near field overpressure at a distance of l = 7 m of up to p = 0.27 bar was measured. All ten tests showed massive fragmentation of the tank mantle. In total, 50 fragments were found. These 50 fragments make-up 88.6 % of the original tank mass. Each fragment was georeferenced and weighed. Fragment throwing distances of l > 250 m occurred. For the tanks with a fill level of 20 %, the average number of fragments was twice as high as it was for the tanks that were filled completely.

Our platform, the so-called Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Remote Gas Sensing (UAV-REGAS), combines a lightweight Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) gas sensor with a 3-axis aerial stabilization gimbal for aiming at a versatile octocopter. While the TDLAS sensor provides integral gas concentration measurements, it does not measure the distance traveled by the laser diode’s beam nor the distribution of gas along the optical path. Thus, we complement the set-up with a laser rangefinder and apply principles of Computed Tomography (CT) to create a model of the spatial gas distribution from a set of integral concentration measurements. To allow for a fundamental ground truth evaluation of the applied gas tomography algorithm, we set up a unique outdoor test environment based on two 3D ultrasonic anemometers and a distributed array of 10 infrared gas transmitters. We present results showing its performance characteristics and 2D plume reconstruction capabilities under realistic conditions. The proposed system can be deployed in scenarios that cannot be addressed by currently available robots and thus constitutes a significant step forward for the field of Mobile Robot Olfaction (MRO).

In case of a vehicle fire where the safety device also malfunctions, a failure of the CNG automotive cylinder could occur. Such a cylinder failure is associated with severe hazards for the surrounding environment. Firstly, a comprehensive analysis is given below, summarizing various accidents involving CNG automotive cylinders and their consequences. In an extensive experimental program, 21 CNG automotive cylinders with no safety device were tested. Of the 21, burst tests were carried out on 5 Type III and 5 Type IV cylinders. Furthermore, fire tests with 8 Type III and 3 Type IV cylinders were conducted. Apart from cylinder pressure, inner temperature and cylinder mantle temperature, the periphery consequences, such as nearfield blast pressure and fragmentation are documented. The maximum measured overpressure due to a Type III cylinder failure was p = 0.41 bar. Each traceable fragment was georeferenced. All-in-all, fragment throw distances of d > 300 m could be observed. As one key result, it can be stated that the tested Type IV CNG cylinders showed less critical failure behavior then the Type III cylinders under fire impingement.

Untersucht wurden dabei 11-kg-Propangasflaschen, PKW-Radmuldentanks für LPG- sowie CNG-Tanks vom Typ III (Compositetanks mit Aluminiumliner) und Typ IV (Compositetanks mit Polymerliner). Mit 18 hydraulischen Berstversuchen wurde das Versagensverhalten unter kalten Bedingungen charakterisiert. In 39 Unterfeuerungsversuchen mit den gefüllten LPG- und CNG-Tanks, davon 36 mit Tanks ohne Sicherheitseinrichtung, wurde das Behälter¬ver¬sagen durch Brandbeaufschlagung untersucht. Neben verschiedenen Behältermantel¬temperaturen und dem Behälterinnendruck wurde auch die Temperatur des gespeicherten Mediums dokumentiert. Dadurch war es möglich, genau zu dokumentieren, unter welchen Bedingungen und bei welchem Zustand der Behälter versagt hat. In einem Großteil der Unterfeuerungsversuche mit Behältern ohne Sicherheitseinrichtungen kam es zur Bildung eines Feuerballs, einer massiven Druck- und Temperaturwirkung auf den Nahbereich sowie einer Vielzahl von Fragmenten im Nah- und Fernbereich. In einer Entfernung von l = 7 m wurden Überdrücke von bis zu p = 0,41 bar gemessen. In 30 Unterfeuerungsversuchen kam es zur Fragmentierung des Behälters. Dabei konnten 159 Fragmente mit Wurfweite und Masse dokumentiert werden. Die dabei maximal festgestellte Wurfweite eines Fragments lag bei l = 311 m. T2 - 15.

Propangasflaschen mit Füllmengen bis 33 Kilogramm sind in flächendeckender Verwendung zum Beispiel in Handwerksbetrieben, Produktionsbereichen, Baustellen und Restaurants, werden aber oftmals auch zum Heizen und Kochen im Privatbereich verwendet. Acetylengasflaschen sind in Verbindung mit entsprechenden Sauerstoffbehältern ebenso in Werkstätten, gewerblichen Anlagen und auf Baustellen zum Autogenschweißen und thermischen Trennen in vielfacher Verwendung. Beide Arten von Druckgasbehältern sind darüber hinaus auch im Straßenverkehr als Gefahrgut und in kleineren Mengen auch als private Fracht anzutreffen. Die Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung (DGUV) hat zusammen mit weiteren Experten als Hilfestellung und aufgrund neuer wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse zwei DGUV-Informationen für Einsatzkräfte zum Umgang mit wärmebeaufschlagten Druckgasbehältern erstellt.

During the experiments the pressure in the cylinder and the temperature at different locations within the porous material and on the Shell surface as well as the flame temperature were measured. Overall 8 burst tests were performed, in order to determine the times to explosion for the cylinders. Cylinders failed not later than 15 minutes from the ignition of the bonfire, often with generation of a fireball. During the other 5 tests, the fire was extinguished before the expected burst and the cylinder was cooled with water. In 2 of the 5 extinction experiments, the explosion of the cylinder could be prevented. Noticeably, in one case the on-set of the decomposition of acetylene had already been observed, before the cooling was started. In spite of that, the cooling was still effective. The interpretation of the current results and of the data from previous tests with 40-l-cylinder suggests that single acetylene cylinders involved in fire might be saved by cooling, if their pressure does not exceed a value of about 45 bara. The recorded values of pressure and temperature were used to develop and validate a mathematical model for the prediction of the heat transfer in acetylene cylinders during the exposure to fire and the afterward cooling. The predictions agreed well with the experimental results.

Furthermore, those cylinders are equipped with safety devices like pressure relief valves (PRV). Despite these regulations and safety measures, a failure of the container is possible if exposed to an intense fire. The result of this is severe hazard for users, rescue forces and infrastructure. Within the framework of a destructive test series, 15 identical propane cylinders, without pressure relief devices, were exposed to an intensive fire in horizontal position until failure. Each cylinder was filled with a mass of m =11 kg of liquid propane. Three different fire sources were used (wood, petrol, propane). The experiments revealed the failure of all cylinders in a time period t < 155 s. The failure lead to a fragmentation into several major parts with throwing distances of up to l =262 m. In all trials, the temperature of the cylinder wall (top, side, bottom), of the liquid phase inside and of the surrounding fire (top, side, bottom) was recorded. In addition, the inner cylinder pressure and the induced overpressure of the blast wave after the failure were recorded. Overpressures of up to p=0.27 bar were recorded close to the cylinder (l =5 m). All tests were documented by video from several positions (general view, close-up, high-speed 5000 fps). This test series creates the basis for further experimental studies in the field of alternative fuels for vehicles. The aim of this test series is to assess and analyse the consequences of the failure of gas vessels (for LPG, CNG, CGH2) in the aftermath of severe incidents.

Diese werden unter teilweise hohem Druck in robusten Behältern an Bord gespeichert. Ein Versagen des Treibstoffbehälters im Schadensfall sollen verschiedene Sicherheitseinrichtungen, auch bei einem eventuell unfallbedingt auftretenden Fahrzeugbrand, verhindern. Sind diese Sicherheitseinrichtungen unfallbedingt beschädigt oder liegen die Belastungen dieser Einrichtung außerhalb ihres Auslegungsbereichs, ist ein Versagen des Behälters dennoch möglich. Dadurch kann es zur Bildung eines explosionsfähigen Brennstoff-Luft-Gemischs mit den entsprechenden Folgen für Fahrgäste, Einsatzkräfte und Umfeld kommen. Die Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) untersucht im Forschungsprojekt "CoFi-ABV" mit umfangreichen zerstörenden Versuchsreihen im Realmaßstab die Folgen des unfallbedingten Versagens von Behältern für alternative Kraftstoffe und Maßnahmen zur Reduktion dieser Folgen im Rahmen einer ganzheitlichen Auswirkungsbetrachtung.

The tanks were installed in the space normally reserved for the spare tyre, in the car boot. No safety device was installed on the tank, in order to force critical failure of the cylinder. Two of the cars were equipped with a tank filled with liquefied propane to a level of 20 % (5.3 kg), the third one was filled completely (25.5 kg). The partially filled tanks failed critically within a time period of more than 20 min after the initiation of the fire. The fully-filled tank did not rupture; the propane was released continuously through a small leak that appeared during the fire. Comprehensive equipment was used to procure measurement data, enabling an analysis of potential consequences and hazards to humans and infrastructure within the vehicle surroundings. The inner status of the tank (pressure, temperature of the liquid phase and the steel casing), the development of the fire (temperature inside and around the vehicle) and the pressure induced in the near-field in case of tank rupture were recorded. The results were analysed in detail and compared against the data gained in tests involving sole, but identical LPG tanks.

In the simulations polynomial functions were used to describe the temperature dependency of the thermal properties of the cylinder interior, which is a complex system composed by a solid porous material, a solvent (typically acetone) and acetylene dissolved in it. Model equations covered heat conduction in the cylinder interior and at its walls. In the first approach the cylinder surroundings were simulated as a further domain constituted by CO2, during the fire exposure, and for water, during the cooling. In this domain the coupled heat transfer (convection and conduction) and the momentum equation (Navier-Stokes) were solved. In the second approach no further domain was considered but boundary conditions were set directly on the cylinder walls. Results of the calculations performed with both approaches are presented. This work could prove helpful in predicting to which extent the interior of an acetylene cylinder exposed to fire reaches temperatures capable of initiating the decomposition of acetylene and to determine how long a water cooling should be applied, so that the system is brought again under non-critical conditions.

Schwerpunkt der Arbeit war die Bestimmung der Explosionsdrücke, der zeitlichen Druckanstiege bzw. der KG-Werte und der reduzierten Explosionsdrücke in Abhängigkeit der Methankonzentration. Im geschlossenen Behälter wurden die Explosionsdrücke und zeitlichen Druckanstiege für Methan-Luft-Gemische mit Methankonzentrationen von 5,9 Vol-% bis 13,5 Vol-% ermittelt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen gute Übereinstimmung mit den Literaturwerten. Weiter wurden Druckentlastungsversuche mit einer kreisrunden Entlastungsfläche von 0,011 m² und einer Druckentlastungsfolie mit einem statischen Ansprechdruck von 1,94 bar durchgeführt. Hierbei wurden Gemische mit Methankonzentrationen von 5,9 Vol-% bis 14,3 Vol-% untersucht. Dabei zeigte sich, dass die vergleichsweise kleine Entlastungsfläche nur dann zu reduzierten Explosionsdrücken gleich dem statischen Ansprechdruck der Berstfolie führte, wenn die Methankonzentration ≤ 5,9 Vol-% oder ≥ 14,0 Vol-% betrug. Bei allen anderen untersuchten Methankonzentrationen führten die durch die Druckentlastung induzierten Turbulenzen zu einer Beschleunigung der Verbrennungsreaktion und zu Explosionsdrücken vergleichbar denen im geschlossenen Behälter.

The cases of a direct engulfment of the cylinder in the flames and of exposure to a distant fire were considered. Furthermore, the model was also applied to the prediction of the heat transfer during the cooling with water of heated acetylene cylinders, in order to assess the effectiveness of this procedure as a measure to prevent the burst of the cylinder. To provide data for the definition and validation of the model a total of 13 bonfire tests with 8.9-, 10- and 50-dm³-cylinders were performed, where pressure and temperature measurements in the samples were performed. During 5 experiments the fire was extinguished before the expected cylinder burst and a cooling with water was applied. In the paper a short description of the experimental set-up and of the test results is given. Finally, a comparison with the model predictions is provided, showing reasonable agreement.

Wie lange muss aber eine Acetylenflasche gekühlt werden, bis sie sicher abtransportiert werden kann, und wie lange muss der Sicherheitsbereich mit dem großen Radius aufrecht erhalten werden? Diesen Fragen ist die BAM in den vergangenen Jahren im Rahmen verschiedener Untersuchungen und Projekte nachgegangen.

T1 - Experimental investigation of large-scale hydrogen diffusion jet flames N2 - Hydrogen is a promising alternative to natural gas in industrial energy applications which would serve the goal of limiting global warming. However, wide application of hydrogen requires specific safety considerations taking into account that hydrogen is stored and transported under much higher pressure than natural gas. Thus, one scenario to be considered for hazard assessment is a sudden release of hydrogen from a leakage or safety valve and its subsequent ignition. For hydrocarbon flames, various jet flame models are available. However, hydrogen flames significantly differ from hydrocarbon flames in their combustion behavior, so that the applicability of these models to hydrogen has to be investigated. For that purpose, reals scale tests were carried out at the BAM Test Site Technical Safety. In addition, hydrocarbon jet flames (methane) were investigated. In these tests, the flame geometry and the thermal heat radiation were investigated for a release angle of 90°, for different release pressures (up to 220 bar) and mass flows (up to 0.175 kg/s). While existing heat radiation data from the literature are mostly based on unsteady outflow conditions and/or releases in still air, the experiments presented here are focused on ensuring a constant mass flow over the release duration under realistic free field conditions (with wind influence). This allows a better comparability with the stationary jet flame models and assessment of wind influence on model predictions. A number of parameters such as the surface emissive power of the jet flame and the radiant heat fraction were determined. A detailed comparison of the obtained experimental results with literature radiation models was performed. Good agreement between experimental and literature data was found for hydrogen whereas significant differences were identified for methane. Based on the investigations, empirical equations for modelling jet flames could be derived.

In the simulations polynomial functions were used to describe the temperature dependency of the thermal properties of the cylinder interior, which is a complex system composed by a solid porous material, a solvent and acetylene dissolved in it. Model equations covered heat conduction in the cylinder interior and at its walls, while the fire surrounding the cylinder was simulated by solving the coupled heat transfer and the momentum equation. Results of the calculations and the effects of some model parameters are discussed.
