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.
In this presentation the drivers for the rise of hydrogen technologies are outlined and main challenges for the market ramp-up are shown. Finally, the activities and capabilities of the competence center H2Safety@BAM are characterized and some of the current projects at BAM adressing the main challenges for hydrogen technologies are presented focussing on the hydrogen transport and infrastructure.
There is no applicable existing standard for the determination of safety characteristics for hybrid mixtures. While developing a new standard in a joint research project in Germany first results from parameter studies led to a standard procedure that can be adopted by laboratories that are already testing dusts in the so called 20L-sphere with as little additional effort as necessary. In fact, one of the main objectives of this research project was to keep modifications and adjustments from the generally accepted dust testing procedures as easy and minimal as possible so as to limit potential deviations from one laboratory to another.
In this first round robin test on hybrid mixtures ever, with methane as gas component and a specific corn starch as dust sample, the practicality of the whole procedure, the scattering of the results and the deviation between the testing apparatuses is investigated. This paper summarizes the experimental procedure adopted and objectives of the first round-robin phase involving three of the four original German companies, plus volunteering laboratories from Australia, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Poland and P.R. China. The results will have an impact on the new standard and may lead to robust data for later simulation purposes.
While developing a standard for the determination of safety characteristics for hybrid mixtures the authors discovered, that, beside the ignition source, the mixing procedure is the main difference between the single-phase standards for dusts and gases. The preparation of hybrid mixtures containing a flammable gas and a flammable dust in the 20 L-sphere can be realized in different ways. Either the flammable gas is filled only in the sphere or only in the dust container or in both. In previous works, almost always the first method is applied, without giving any information on the accuracy of the gas mixtures. In this work the accuracy of the gas mixtures and the results of the tests applying two methods of mixing were studied. No significant influence of the mixing method itself on the safety characteristics explosion pressure pex and the normalized rate of pressure rise (K-value) was found. Obviously, homogenization of the gas mixtures can be obtained sufficiently by the turbulence that is caused during the injection from the dust container into the explosion chamber within a short time. However, the mixing procedure has a great influence on the accuracy of the gas amount of the mixtures obtained. Without modifying the 20 L-sphere by installing precise pressure sensors, assuring its tightness and performing gas analysis, it must be expected, that the accuracy of the gas mixtures is very low. This has a significant influence on the measured safety characteristics and may lead to unsafe facilities or unnecessary expensive safety measures.
Im Projekt HySpark wird die Wirksamkeit mechanischer Schlagvorgänge beim Aufprall von unterschiedlichen Werkstoffen als Zündquelle für wasserstoffhaltige Atmosphären experimentell untersucht. Zum Einen wird die Zündwirksamkeit bei Wasserstoff/Luft-Gemischen in Abhängigkeit der Werkstoffpaarung untersucht. Dabei konnte v.a. festgestellt werden, dass bei Schlagvorgängen von Nicht-Eisen-Metallen mit verschiedenen Stahlsorten die wirksame Zündung vermieden werden kann. Jedoch können bei Schlagvorgängen mit Estrichbeton hohe Zündwahrscheinlichkeiten beobachtet werden. Zum anderen wird der Einfluss von Wasserstoffbeimischungen im Erdgasnetz auf die Zündwirksamkeit von mechanischen Schlägen untersucht. Bei Anteilen bis 25% Wasserstoff konnte bei den Versuchen kein Erhöhung der Zündwahrscheinlichkeit festgestellt werden.
Im Vortrag werden aktuelle Entwicklungen bei verschiedenen Elektrolysetechnologien kurz vorgestellt. Dann werden für Elektrolyseanlagen spezifische Gefährdungen diskutiert, v.a. die im Zusammenhang mit den Eigenschaften der Gase Wasserstoff und Sauerstoff stehen. Dabei wird auch Bezug auf die Normung- und Regelsetzung genommen und Sicherheitskonzepte werden beispielhaft kurz vorgestellt. Abschließend wird auf Unfallereignisse im Zusammenhang mit der Elektrolyse eingegangen.

Influence of pre-ignition pressure rise on safety characteristics of dusts and hybrid mixtures
(2021)
For the determination of the safety characteristics of dusts it is necessary to disperse the dust in the oxidating atmosphere (usually air). In the standard procedures for dusts this is realized by a partially evacuated explosion vessel (20L-sphere) in which the dust gets injected from a dust chamber pressurized with air. Shortly after that injection (60 ms) the dust cloud gets ignited under turbulent conditions, that are otherwise seen as almost ambient with 20 ◦C and about 1 bar (abs). While there has been a lot of research about the influence of the ignition delay time and the level of turbulence in the recent years little attention was paid to the pre–ignition pressure rise and the allowed variations in the standards. In the following work we showed that the allowed ranges for the pressures in the different dust standards influence the safety characteristics of dust alone severely.
Even though hybrid mixtures are an emerging risk problem in an interconnected industry there is no standard for the determination of their safety characteristics. In this work it is shown that especially for the preparation of hybrid mixtures of flammable dust and gas the pressures after injection of the dust and the mixing procedure have a large influence on the composition of the tested mixtures and therefore on the safety characteristics.
Considering both effects, wrong concentration of gas and wrong initial pressure, the discrepancy of safety characteristics from different facilities will be too big to applicable. The methods to overcome these weaknesses are also presented.
Hinsichtlich ihrer sicherheitstechnischen Kenngrößen (STK) unterscheiden sich Wasserstoff und Erdgas zum Teil stark. Im Vortrag werden verschiedene STK von Erdgas/Wasserstoff-Gemischen im Abhängigkeit des Wasserstoffanteils vorgestellt und die Auswirkung der Beimischung von Wasserstoff zum Erdgas auf die Wirksamkeit von Explosionsschutzmaßnahmen erläutert.
