Experimental study on hydrogen explosions in a full-scale hydrogen filling station model
June 07, 2007
In order for fuel cell vehicles to develop a widespread role in society, it is essential that hydrogen refuelling stations become established. For this to happen, there is a need to demonstrate the safety of the refuelling stations. The work described in this paper was carried out to provide experimental information on hydrogen outflow, dispersion and explosion behaviour. In the first phase, homogeneous hydrogen–air mixtures of a known concentration were introduced into an explosion chamber and the resulting flame speed and overpressures were measured.
