SRI to present hydrogen fuel safety research results at 2009 International Conference
September 14, 2009SRI International, an independent nonprofit research and development organization, announced today it will present new research identifying methods for designing safer structures in the future for hydrogen fueled vehicles, at the upcoming International Conference on Hydrogen Safety, Sept. 16 - 18, in Ajaccio-Corsica, France. The paper, titled Experimental Study of Hydrogen Release Accidents in a Vehicle Garage, was authored by SRI researchers, with funding from the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) through the Institute of Applied Energy (IAE), both based in Japan. SRI conducted experiments to determine the risks associated with accidental hydrogen releases and subsequent combustion in a structure built to simulate a one-car garage. SRI's research highlights important insights that will help consumers use hydrogen safely on a daily basis.
"We are starting to see an increase in the use of hydrogen as a clean energy storage medium in many applications, including fuel cell vehicles and stationary power generation. For these applications it is important to investigate the hazards that can occur when hydrogen is released and develop approaches for mitigating the risk in these scenarios," said Erik Merilo, SRI research engineer. "Hydrogen has been used safely for many years in different industries, and SRI is working with industry and government officials to provide the data necessary to ensure that hydrogen can be used safely by the general public."
SRI's work on hydrogen dispersion and deflagration was recently presented to the International Energy Agency (IEA). The data will be used for evaluating the risk associated with accidental hydrogen leaks in residential-type garages and for development of mitigation techniques, such as ventilation.
SRI has many years of experience in hydrogen safety research, and has performed large-scale tests to obtain fundamental hydrogen combustion data and investigate potential accident scenarios involving fuel-cell vehicles, transports, products and storage facilities. The data has been used to develop codes and standards, validate numerical models, and investigate risk mitigation approaches. In all tests, SRI measured the characteristics of the deflagration and detonation, as well as the potential hazard produced.

Atomic Alert! Nuclear attack survival for children (1951) Produced by Encyclopedia Britannica Films, this video seeks to educate American schoolchildren on how to take cover in the event of a nuclear warning or attack. The child safety tips are dated and hilarious, consider what little help covering up is against a nuclear weapon or a nuclear explosion. Three different situations are shown, including when children are at school, at home, or at a playground. Children are shown cowering against buildings and hiding in basements. Fictional characters, Sue and Ted, are shown at home alone during an attack. The narrator even recommends that children caught outside far from home enter a random house for shelter, advising them that "strangers will understand." The film also gives a simplified explanation of how nuclear bombs work throughout the lessons... |

Safety of compressed hydrogen fuel tanks: Leakage from stationary vehicles [An article from: Technology in Society] by V.P. Utgikar (Author), T. Thiesen (Author) This digital document is a journal article from Technology in Society, published by Elsevier in . The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser. Description: Compressed gas is one of the options for on-board storage of hydrogen in hydrogen-fueled vehicles. An assessment of the hazard posed by this method of storage is presented in this paper. Compressed hydrogen fuel tanks will operate under high (5000-10,000psi) pressure and will be subject to potential failures associated with pressure vessels. In the event of a failure, hydrogen will leak through the cracks developed in these vessels, triggering an increase in the temperature, due to the negative value of the... | |
