  • It was discussed about explosion danger of hydrogen gas experimentally that could be happen during the handling and using. Hydrogen concentration was varied from 10 to 60 vol% for get the explosion characteristics of hydrogen and 5 kinds of cylindrical vessel were used to find the explosion characteristics of hydrogen according to the vessel volume. Initial pressure of hydrogen-air mixture was varied from 0.6 to 2 kg/cm2. Based on the experiment, explosion pressure was most high near the 30vol% of hydrogen and explosion pressure was increased slightly according to the increase of vessel volume but explosion pressure rise rate was decreased. Explosion pressure was increased linearly proportional to the initial pressure of gas mixture.

  • Recently, Korea has established a plan for the supply of hydrogen vehicles and is promoting the expansion of the supply. Risk factors for hydrogen vehicles are hydrogen leakage, jet fire, and explosion. Therefore Safety measures are necessary for this hazard. In addition, risks in semi-closed spaces such as tunnels, underground roads, and underground parking lots should be analyzed. In this study, an explosion experiment was conducted on a hydrogen tank used in a hydrogen vehicle to analyze the risk of a hydrogen vehicle explosion accident that may occur in a semi-closed space. As results, the effect on the structure and the human body was analyzed using the overpressure and impulse values for each distance generated during the explosion.

  • Appropriate explosion proof electrical equipment should be installed in hazardous areas. In areas where hydrogen is handled, explosion proof electrical equipment adjacent to the hydrogen handing facility must be reviewed for selection of gas group IIC (or IIB+H2) equipment. When selecting explosion proof electrical equipment for the flammable substance handling facility in areas where hydrogen and flammable substance are handled, the method to avoid gas group IIC (or IIB+H2) equipment has been suggested by using the operating pressure of the hydrogen handling facility. When the operating pressure of the outdoor hydrogen handling facility is 1.065 MPa or less, it has been confirmed that there is no need to install gas group IIC (or IIB+H2) equipment for the flammable substance handling facility adjacent to the hydrogen handling facility. And the method of selecting explosion proof electrical equipment for the flammable substance handling facility has been suggested as a flowchart, so it will be able to be utilized when selecting appropriate explosion proof electrical equipment.

  • 수소는 온실가스 배출을 저감하기 위한 미래 에너지로 고려되고 있지만, 폭발위험에 대한 문제점을 지니고 있다. 따라서 수소가 미래 에너지로 사용되기 위해서는 폭발위험에 대한 연구가 충분히 이루어져야 한다. 폭발위험은 폭발충격에 대한 이해 즉, 폭발과정에서 압력 상승속도에 대한 분석과 밀접한 관계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 폭발에 영향을 미치는 변수, 즉 연소 전후의 비열비, 화학평형상태에서 최대폭발압력, 그리고 연소속도, 이들 변수가 압력 상승속도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 화학평형상태에서 최대폭발압력과 연소속도는 압력 상승곡선에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었고, 미연소 가스의 비열비는 초기압력 상승속도보다 최종압력 상승속도에 더욱 영향을 미치고, 연소가스의 비열비는 반대로 초기압력 상승속도에 더욱 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 연소속도는 실험 데이터로부터 구하였으며 밀폐공간에서 수소가스 폭발에서는 폭연에서 폭굉으로 전이가 일어나기에는 연소속도가 매우 느림을 알 수 있었다.

  • 2011년 3월 11일 리히터 스케일 9.0의 강진과 10-14m파도로 인해 Fukushima Daiichi(FD) 원자력 단지의 주전력과 보조전력이 끊어져 냉각장치가 작동하지 않았고 노심의 열이 제거되지 못해 폭발이 일어나는 사고가 발생했다. 노심의 열이 제거되지 못하면 핵연료 피복재인 지르칼로이(zircaloy)와 같은 금속이 고온 상태에서 수증기와 산화 반응하여 수소를 발생시킨다. 발생된 수소는 격납건물로 방출되는데 방출된 수소가 연소하는 경우 격납건물의 안정성에 영향을 줄 정도의 큰 충격을 유발할 수 있는 수소폭발로 이어질 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 격납건물 내부의 수소 분포를 분석한 연구 [1]에서 제시한 폭발의 위해도가 높은 영역에 대하여 폭발해석을 수행하였으며 수소 폭발이 격납건물의 건전성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 분석하였다. 격납건물 중앙부를 제외하고 수소폭발이 발생하였고 상부에 전체 수소의 40%이상이 모였을 때와 하부 좌측, 우측의 격벽사이에 수소가 모였을 때 큰 폭발이 발생했으며 격납건물 벽면에 큰 응력을 동반하였다.

  • To test a flameproof enclosure for the safety certificate, a reference pressure of explosion needs to be determined. However, the explosion pressure may be changed according to relative humidity of explosive gases. Therefore, the guideline on relative humidity should be recommended for measuring the explosion pressure for accurate and reproducible testings. This study examined the relationship of explosion pressure with relative humidity of hydrogen (31 vol %)-air and acetylene (14 vol %)-air mixture gases. The explosion pressures were measured by increasing the relative humidity of the gases by 10 % from dry state to 80 % in a cylindrical explosion enclosure of 2.3 L. on ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure (1 atm). The maximum explosive pressures were remained almost constant until the relative humidity reached 10 % for the hydrogen-air mixture and 20 % for the acetylene-air mixture. However, the maximum explosive pressures linearly decreased as the relative humidity increased. Based on the results of the study, it would be recommended to use 10 % relative humidity for the hydrogen-air mixture and 20 % for the acetylene-air mixture as the critical value in testing a flameproof enclosure.

  • Hydrogen production facility using very high temperature gas cooled reactor lies in situation of high temperature and corrosion which makes hydrogen release easily. In that case of hydrogen release, there lies a danger of explosion. However, from the point of thermal-hydraulics view, the long distance of them makes lower efficiency result. In this study, therefore, outlines of hydrogen production using nuclear energy are researched. Several methods for analyzing the effects of hydrogen explosion upon high temperature gas cooled reactor are reviewed. Reliability physics model which is appropriate for assessment is used. Using this model, leakage probability, rupture probability and structure failure probability of very high temperature gas cooled reactor are evaluated and classified by detonation volume and distance. Also based on standard safety criteria which is value of $1{\times}10^{-6}$, safety distance between the very high temperature gas cooled reactor and the hydrogen production facility is calculated.

  • This study has been conducted for evaluation of qualitative/quantitative risk of HCNG filling station. In case of fire explosion occurred because of hydrogen, CNG, and HCNG leaking on same conditions, maximum overpressure was measured as 30kPa for hydrogen, 3.5kPa for HCNG, and 0.4kPa for CNG. The overpressure of HCNG was measured 7.75 times higher than that of CNG, but it was only 11.7% compared with hydrogen. When the explosion was occurred, in case of hydrogen, the measured influential distance of overpressure was 59m and radiant heat was 75m. In case of CNG, influential distance of overpressure was 89m and radiant heat was 144m would be estimated. In case of 30% HCNG that was blended with hydrogen and CNG, influential distance of overpressure was 81m and radiant heat was 130m were measured. As the explosion occurred with the same sized container that had 350bar for hydrogen and 250bar of CNG and HCNG, the damage distance that explosive overpressure and radiant heat influenced CNG was seen as the highest. HCNG that was placed between CNG and hydrogen tended to be seen as more similar with CNG.

  • The registration rate of eco-friendly vehicles, such as hydrogen vehicles, is increasing rapidly, however, few first responders have experienced related accidents. Accident scenarios at hydrogen refueling stations and hydrogen vehicles on a road were investigated, and the relative importance of each scenario was analyzed using AHP analysis. Leakage, jet flame, and explosion that occurred inside and outside the hydrogen refueling station were reviewed, and the hydrogen gas explosion in the compartment showed the highest importance value. In case of the hydrogen vehicle, traffic accident statistics and actual accidents were used. It was analyzed that the hydrogen vessel explosion on the road due to the failure of TPRD and the leakage in the underground parking area were difficult to respond. The developed accident scenarios are expected to be used for first responder training.

  • Due to the rapid spread and low minimum ignition energy of hydrogen, rupture is highly likely to cause fire, explosion and major accidents. The self-ignition of high-pressure hydrogen is highly likely to ignite immediately when it leaks from an open space, resulting in jet fire. Results of the diffusion and leakage simulation show that jet effect occurs from the leakage source to a certain distance. And at the end of location, the vapor cloud explosion can be occurred due to the formation of hydrogen vapor clouds by built-up. In the result, it is important that depending on the time of ignition, a jet fire or a vapor cloud explosion may occur. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account jet effect by location of leakage source and establish a damage minimizing plan for the possible jet fire or vapor cloud explosion. And it is required to any kind of measurements such as an interlock system to prevent hydrogen leakage or minimize the amount of leakage when detecting leakage of gas.
