Because of the recent expansion of hydrogen vehicle supply, the installation of hydrogen filling station is expected to gradually expand. This study attempts to predict the damage scale and propose a safer design form based on the scenario that assumes the worst case of a hydrogen station. A Flacs solver using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to predict the damage scale, and the accuracy was verified by comparing it with the experimental results of previous researchers. The damage scale prediction was conducted for hydrogen leakage and explosion, and the prediction target was the KR model based on the measured values. And as a comparative review model, a roofless model was selected without a ceiling. As a result of analyzing the two models, it was possible to confirm the accumulation and retention of hydrogen gas up to 60 vol% or more in the KR model, whereas in the case of the Roofless model, the phenomenon of discharge and diffusion to the outside of the charging station by riding the wall after leakage. I was able to check. In conclusion, it was reviewed that the type of hydrogen charging station without ceiling is more advantageous for safety than the hydrogen filling station model.

하나로 반사체의 수직공 안에 설치된 냉중성자원 시설계통의 수조내기기는 원자로에서 생성되는 열중성자를 약 22K의 감속재로 감속시켜 0.1~10 meV 범위에서 높은 선속을 갖는 냉중성자를 생산한다. 냉중성자를 생산하기 위한 냉중성자원 시설계통의 구성은 감속재인 수소를 포함하고 있는 수소계통, 수소의 외부누출을 방지하기 위한 가스블랭킷계통, 극저온의 액체수소를 생산하기 위한 헬륨냉동계통, 극저온인 액체수소 층을 감속재용기 내에 유지하기 위한 진공계통 등으로 되어있다. 이들 계통 중 진공계통은 냉중성자원 시설계통의 정상운전 시 액체수소 열사이펀, 감속재용기 등의 냉중성자원 극저온 부품의 단열을 위하여 진공용기의 내부 진공도를 공정진공도 이하로 유지하기 위한 계통이다. 정상운전 시 진공계통으로부터 발생되는 배기 가스는 배기 수집탱크에 포집된다. 냉중성자원 시설계통으로부터 발생되는 배기가스는 배기수 집탱크를 통하여 수소의 누출여부를 확인한 후 원자로홀로 배기되도록 되어 있으며, 만일의 경우 탱크내부의 배기가스 수소 농도가 기준치인 3.5%이상일 때는 유입 원을 자동으로 차단하고, 희석용 가스인 고압의 질소를 주입하여 수소의 농도를 기준치 이하로 낮춘 후 원자로 홀로 자동 배출하도록 되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 냉중성자가 생산되는 냉중성자원 시설계통의 운전과정에서 진공계통으로부터 배출되는 배기가스를 배기수집탱크로 포집하고, 이 가스에 대해 수소가스의 농도를 분석하여 원자로 홀로 안전하게 배기할 수 있도록 수행된 수소가스 분석에 대해 기술하였다.

In this study, a process safety evaluation is implemented, in which the process hazards are investigated systematically about hydrogen production plants. Be used qualitative Safety management method such as HAZOP and FMEA. Were analysed potential hazards (human errors or operating failures of every processing steps) about parameters that flow, pressure, temperature of hydrogen production plants through HAZOP that making deviations applied signified guide words. Analysed to using FMEA mainly about bad components or troubles that equipments breakdown and malfunction in facilities and then propose its influences, and counterproposal.

There are various types of hydrogen production methods, but among them, the alkaline water electrolysis method produces hydrogen by electrolyzing water, and unlike other methods, it can produce green hydrogen that does not emit pollutants and greenhouse gases. There are many different potential risk factors inherent in the water electrolysis process. So it is necessary to predict an emergency situation in advance and to safely manage and take countermeasures according to the emergency situation. Korea Gas Safety Corporation (KGS) CODE AH271 stipulates legal matters to secure safety, but it is not detalied. Thus it is necessary to take measures to safely control and manage it according to the situation in which an emergency stop is required. In this study, based on KGS CODE and HAZOP for alkaline water electrolysis facilities, factors that can cause emergency situations were derived and countermeasures were prepared.

Hydrogen is emerging as an alternative fuel for eco-friendly ships because it reacts with oxygen to produce electrical energy and only water as a by-product. However, unlike regular fossil fuels, hydrogen has a material with a high risk of explosion due to its low ignition point and high flammability range. In order to safely use hydrogen in ships, it is an essential task to study the flow characteristics of hydrogen leakage and diffusion need to be studied. In this study, a numerical analysis was performed on the effect of leakage, ventilation, etc. on ventilation performance when hydrogen leaks in an enclosed space such as inside a ship. ANSYS CFX ver 18.1, a commercial CFD software, was used for numerical analysis. The leakage rate was changed to 1 q, 2 q, and 3 q at 1 q = 1 g/s, the ventilation rate was changed to 1 Q, 2 Q and 3 Q at 1 Q = 0.91 m/s, and the ventilation method was changed to type I, type II, type III to analyze the ventilation performance was analyzed. As the amount of leakage increased from 1 q to 3 q, the HMF in the storage room was about 2.4 to 3.0 times higher. Furthermore, the amount of ventilation to reduce the risk of explosion should be at least 2 Q, and it was established that type III was the most suitable method for the formation of negative pressure inside the hydrogen tank storage room.

Hydrogen has reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the main cause of global warming, and is emerging as an eco-friendly energy source for ships. Hydrogen is a substance with a lower flammability limit (LFL) of 4 to 75% and a high risk of explosion. To be used for ships, it must be sufficiently safe against leaks. In this study, we analyzed the effect of changes in the area of the air inlet / vent port on the ventilation performance when hydrogen leaks occur in the hydrogen tank storage room. The area of the air inlet / vent port is 1A = 740 mm × 740 mm, and the size and position can be easily changed on the surface of the storage chamber. Using ANSYS CFX ver 18.1, which is a CFD commercial software, the area of the air inlet / vent port was changed to 1A, 2A, 3A, and 5A, and the hydrogen mole fraction in the storage chamber when the area changed was analyzed. Consequently, the increase in the area of the air inlet port further reduced the concentration of the leaked hydrogen as compared with that of the vent port, and improved the ventilation performance of at least 2A or more from the single air inlet port. As the area of the air inlet port increased, hydrogen was uniformly stratified at the upper part of the storage chamber, but was out of the LFL range. However, simply increasing the area of the vent port inadequately affected the ventilation performance.

석유 연료 고갈 해결 및 온실 효과 가스 배풀 저감을 위한 방안으로 제시되는 수소는 다양한 에너지 저장체로 사용되어 질 수 있으나 안전성에 대한 연구가 요구되어진다. 따라서, 일반적인 저장 형태인 고압 저장 탱크에서 누출이 되었을 경우 분사되는 수소의 거동에 대한 연구가 이루어져야하며 이를 바탕으로 한 보완책이 제시되어야 한다. 이번 연구에서는 누설 시 확산되는 수소의 밀도를 실제 거동과 유사한 3차원 컴퓨터 영상장으로 합성한 후 ART(algebraic reconstruction technique) 및 MART(multiplicative ART)를 기반으로 한 3차원 디지털 스페클 토모그래피 기법을 개발하여 재건하고 분석하였다.
