For the determination of safety characteristics of gases, vapors and dusts different types of ignition sources are used in international standards and guidelines. Table 1 compares technical relevant ignition sources with their main features. The paper presents test results of a comparative calorimetric and visual study between four different types of ignition sources. The ignition procedures were analyzed visually with a high-speed camera and electric recordings. In addition to that, the influence of the electrode-orientation, -distance as well as ignition energy on the reproducibility of the exploding wire igniter was tested.
The exploding wire is already in use for standardized determination of safety characteristics of gases, first tests on the suitability of the exploding wire igniter for dust testing have been carried out by Scheid et al. Using the exploding wire, the ignition energy can be varied from 2 to 10 000 J (2 x 5 000 J) and thus it could be used for gases, vapors, dusts and hybrid mixtures. Moreover it can be used at high initial pressures and it is the only ignition source with an easily measurable ignition energy release. Furthermore, it does not introduce another chemical reaction into the system.
Finally, a proposal for a standard ignition source for explosion tests on hybrid mixtures is derived from the test results.
There are several standardized ignition sources in use for the determination of explosion characteristics of gases, vapors and dusts. In the standards the ignition source is stated, but they vary in stating other characteristics like burning duration, energy or burning volume. Since heat is not visible under normal circumstances a Schlieren-Technique was used to make the full heating volume and not just the flames visible. While an earlier paper of the authors focused on the ignition energy and burning duration of four standardized ignition sources, this paper focuses on the initial igniting volume, the ratio between initial igniting volume and the test-vessel size and other phenomena that were observed with the Schlieren-Technique.
In this lecture the safety related properties of hydrogen and hydrogen mixtures and explosion protection measures are shown and compared with other fuel gases. Measures for primary explosion protection (avoiding flammable mixtures), secondary explosion protection (avoiding ignition sources) and constructive explosion protection (mitigating the consequences of explosions) when handling hydrogen and hydrogen mixtures are presented.
The Joint European Summer School JESS 2022 addresses these issues by offering high quality graduate level courses on selected topics of vehicle technology, innovation & business development, safe handling of hydrogen, and modelling. The course content is tailored to the needs of a diverse audience: newcomers to the field, experienced students, and young professionals working at the forefront of fuel cell and hydrogen applications.
The presented research work examines the effects of different fuel-air equivalence ratios and initial pressure on ignition temperature.
This study shows a non-monotonic pressure dependence in stoichiometric mixtures at varying pressures from 1 to 10 bar and a low sensitivity to changes in the equivalence ratio (0.5-2). The results form the basis for our future research into the complex interaction between lubricant characteristics and hydrogen-air mixtures to better understand pre-ignition phenomena in internal combustion engines.
