TY - CONF A1 - Seeber, Henrik T1 - Experimenteller Ansatz zur Untersuchung der primären Explosionswirkung N2 - Explosionsverletzungen gehören zu den häufigsten Verletzungen bei militärischen Einsätzen. Während die Auswirkungen von Splittern, die als sekundäre Explosionsverletzungen eingestuft werden, durch die modernen ballistischen Körperschutzsysteme der Polizei und des Militärs minimiert werden konnten, stellen die Auswirkungen der Stoßwellenausbreitung im Körper als Teil des primären Explosionstraumas nach wie vor eine ernsthafte Bedrohung dar. Zusätzlich zu einzelnen einsatzbedingten Lastfällen liegt ein wissenschaftlicher Fokus auf besonders exponiertem Personal, z.B. aus den Einsatzbereichen „Taktische Zugangstechnik“, „Präzisionsschützenwesen“ oder Steilfeuerwaffen (Mörser). Repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) können gesundheitliche Langzeitschädigungen wie und chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) erzeugen. Um einen Beitrag zur Erforschung der primären Explosionswirkungen zu leisten, hat die Bundeswehr in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Bundeswehrkrankenhaus Berlin und der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) ein interdisziplinäres wehrmedizinisches Sonderforschungsvorhaben eingerichtet. Ziel der geplanten Untersuchung ist die Entwicklung einer multidisziplinären Methode zur Analyse des Stoßwellenverhaltens in verschiedenen generischen Gewebesimulanzien, sowie Schutzmaterialien unter möglichst realitätsnahen und reproduzierbaren Bedingungen. Für die Erzeugung reproduzierbarer Stoßwellen wurde ein Autoklav (Druckbehälter) entwickelt, mit dem durch die detonative Umsetzung eines Acetylen-Sauerstoff-Gemisches gut reproduzierbare Druckwellen unter Freifeldbedingungen erzeugt werden können. Vorteile dieser Methode sind unter anderem die kurzen Rüstzeiten zwischen Versuchsdurchgängen, die Minimierung störender Einflüsse im Vergleich zu Stoßwellenrohren und die geringeren Sicherheitsanforderungen im Vergleich zur Anwendung von konventionellen Sprengstoffen. Das generische Torso-Modell besteht in seiner einfachsten Form aus einem mit Druck- und Beschleunigungssensoren instrumentierten Gelatineblock, welcher eine Simulanz für organisches Gewebe darstellt. Zur Untersuchung des Stoßwellenverhaltens wurden verschiedene Medien, wie Hohlkörper, Festkörper und Gewebesimulanzien differenter Dichte in das generische Torso-Modell eingebracht. Einen besonderer Untersuchungsschwerpunkt bildeten die Grenzbereiche zwischen den unterschiedlichen Medien. Des Weiteren wurde analysiert, wie sich verschiedene Schutzmaterialien auf das Stoßwellenverhalten auswirken und mit welchen veränderten Eigenschaften die Stoßwelle anschließend in die Gewebesimulanz einkoppelt.

T1 - Experimental study on the performance of the standardized test method for detonation flame arresters N2 - Flame arresters are autonomous protection systems and are among the constructive explosion protection measures that limit the effects of an explosion. In this study, the performance of the standardized test method regulated in the DIN EN ISO 16852 standard for in-line flame arresters for stable and unstable detonations, which is mainly designed for atmospheric conditions, is examined. In an interlaboratory comparison, experiments are performed for different pressures before ignition and explosion groups according to the standardized test method. The experimental data is analyzed in detail to further optimize the test method and to thus achieve an improved reproducibility of detonation tests at high pressures, especially regarding the deflagration to detonation transition. Based on these results, an improved test method for detonation flame arresters will be developed, which will ensure better reproducibility as well as applicability under non-atmospheric conditions.

T1 - Comparative study on the performance of the standardized test method for detonation flame arrestors N2 - Detonation flame arresters are widely used as protection systems in industrial applications to avoid damage from incidental gas explosions, by preventing the propagation of the ongoing explosion from one section of a plant to another. Numerous processes in the chemical and petrochemical industry are taking place under non-atmospheric conditions (e.g. increased pressure and/or temperature) in order to optimize the production capabilities. The suitability of detonation flame arresters is verified and examined according to the DIN EN ISO 16852 standard, which is only based on findings from experiments under atmospheric conditions. In some instances, differing results are obtained by the different institutes using the current standardized test procedure, especially for instable detonations as well as for detonations at elevated pressures before ignition. The primary objective of this study is to develop an improved test method for detonation flame arresters, which offers a higher reproducibility and moreover, an applicability under non-atmospheric conditions. For this aim, the project partners (PTB, BAM, Braunschweiger Flammenfilter GmbH and IBExU GmbH) jointly conduct an interlaboratory comparison on the performance of in-line flame arresters for stable and instable detonations. The experiments are performed according to the test method regulated in the DIN EN ISO 16852 standard for different pressures before ignition and for different explosion groups (IIA, IIB, IIC). The interlaboratory comparison points out potential ambiguities of the standardized test procedure that might lead to the differing results at the different institutes. Based on these experimental findings, an improved test method for detonation flame arresters will be developed, which will ensure a greater safety at process plants while handling combustible liquids and gases.

T1 - Performance of the standardized testing method for detonation fl ame arresters at increased pressure N2 - Detonation flame arresters are typically used as autonomous protection systems in industrial applications to prevent potential hazards associated with flammable and/ or explosive chemicals. To verify and examine the suitability of detonation flame arresters, a testing method originating from the DIN EN ISO 16852 standard is used, which is mainly designed for atmospheric conditions. In order to optimize the production capabilities, numerous industrial processes are taking place at pressures, temperatures, or oxygen concentrations beyond the ambient range, i.e. at non-atmospheric conditions and information on the performance of the regulated testing method are therefore required when the standard testing protocols are modified with regard to pressure, temperature or oxidizer. The main objective of this study is to develop an improved testing method for detonation flame arresters, which offers a higher reproducibility and moreover, an applicability under non-atmospheric conditions. Therefore, an interlaboratory comparison on the performance of in-line flame arresters for stable and unstable detonations is jointly conducted by the project partners (PTB, BAM, Braunschweiger Flammenfilter GmbH and IBExU GmbH).

The choice of DSS for a particular hydrogen application mainly depends on its susceptibility level to Hydrogen Assisted Cracking (HAC). Several mechanisms have been proposed to describe the occurring microscale processes behind HAC, and these include metastable phase transformation, Hydrogen Enhanced Localized Plasticity (HELP), and Hydrogen Enhanced Decohesion (HEDE). This contribution describes the path to ascertain if DSS is suitable for high-pressure gaseous hydrogen applications. The interplay between several critical factors that result in HAC was examined using high-pressure gaseous hydrogen charging, Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD), tensile testing and hydrogen concentration measurements using Carrier Gas Hot Extraction (CGHE).

Hydrogen detonation propagations are characterized by the detonation cell size, used to quantitatively predict for a mixture to detonate including, among others, the initiation energy, critical and minimum tube diameters. For the prediction of explosion limits, detonation run-up-distances and cell sizes, various empirical, semi-empirical and numerical models can be found in literature. These models are usually limited to a narrow range of explosion process or geometrical experimental parameters. Moreover, based on the limited availability of the detonation cell widths measurements, current estimation models are seemingly inaccurate. Machine learning models can be utilized to make justifiable prediction on the detonation cell sizes of hydrogen-air mixtures and other gaseous explosive mixtures cell sizes, explosion limits or run-up distance to detonation based on the mixture type, temperature, pressure, equivalence ratios as well as on geometrical parameters with consideration of highly diverse experimental data measurements uncertainties. Therefore, an up-to date database for explosion characteristics will be established and machine learning models will be developed, trained, tested, and validated using experimental data to predict explosion characteristics of hydrogen mixtures. The models predicted results will be validated against existing models. It will be tested whether machine learning models are able to predict the explosion characteristics of hydrogen mixtures with better accuracy and more comprehensively than conventional empirical and numerical models to be found in literature.

T1 - Experimental and Kinetic Study of Lubrication Oil Composition on Hydrogen Auto-Ignition N2 - Hydrogen internal combustion engines (H₂ ICEs) present a promising alternative to conventional fuels, but they face challenges such as pre-ignition, where lubricating oils play a critical role. This study investigates the auto-ignition behavior of two base oils — Group II (mineral) and Group V (Ester) — and three formulated oils (Oils A, B, and C) at 20 bar using a heated constant-volume autoclave. Oil A and Oil B share a Group II (mineral) base, with Oil A containing lower levels of calcium-based detergents and higher levels of phosphorus-based antioxidants compared to Oil B. In contrast, Oil C is formulated with a Group V (ester) base oil, incorporating magnesium-calcium detergents. The auto-ignition temperature was measured in both air and stoichiometric hydrogen-air mixtures to assess the influence of oil composition, additives, and hydrogen addition on ignition characteristics. Results show that hydrogen’s AIT at 20 bar is 460°C but drops to 270°C with the addition of 0.2 ml of base oil. Base oils exhibited similar AITs in air (260°C) and hydrogen-air mixtures (270°C), with reactivity differences linked to molecular composition — ester (Group V) displayed lower reactivity compared to mineral oil (Group II). Formulated oils demonstrated slightly higher AITs (up to 290°C), where phosphorus-based additives reduced reactivity, while lower calcium content further slowed ignition. Among the tested oils, the ester-based oil with a mixture of calcium and magnesium detergents exhibited the lowest reactivity, making it a promising candidate for hydrogen engines. Additionally, reduced oxygen availability increased AIT by 10°C and prolonged ignition delay. A chemical analysis was also performed to evaluate the ignition properties of Group II (mineral) and Group V (ester) oils under varying temperatures. These findings highlight the impact of lubricant composition on pre-ignition behavior in H₂ ICEs, offering valuable insights for optimizing lubricant formulations.
