Hydrogen ignition and jet fires

Objectives

  • Develop methodology for evaluation of hydrogen ignition and jet fire phenomena
  • Scan existing experimental database on hydrogen fires and ignition
  • Support the network activities by providing input on hydrogen ignition and fire hazards, for various release scenarios.

Description of work

Sub-task 9.1. Scan data for SBEP

Partners will prepare data on hydrogen ignition and jet fires for submission to SBEP. Sources of information will be the scientific literature, as well as the data of partners, who are willing to share their data within the network. Work will be led by HSE/HSL, who will work with INERIS, DNV, Fh-ICT and TNO to scan data on ignition phenomena and partners INERIS, DNV and BRE to scan available data on hydrogen jet fires.

Lead: HSE/HSL, Partners: INERIS Fh-ICT, DNV, BRE, TNO

Sub-task 9.2 Proposals for tests / other activities

Partners will work on formulation of proposals for future experimental work and submission to WP19. Partners HSE/HSL, INERIS , DNV, Fh-ICT and TNO will prepare proposal for ignition phenomena. Partner HSE/HSL, INERIS, DNV and BRE will prepare proposal for jet fires.

Lead: HSE/HSL, Partners: INERIS Fh-ICT, DNV, BRE, TNO

Sub-task 9.3. Detail future work.

All partners will perform a critical assessment of WP9 progress using input from WP7 to detail future activities.
