Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of radiation hazard assessment of high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder venting flames, and in particular to a method and combustion device for assessing radiation hazard of high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder venting flames. Background Technology

[0002] To address climate change caused by excessive consumption of primary energy sources, countries worldwide are actively pursuing energy transitions to solve environmental pollution and the greenhouse effect. Hydrogen energy, with its high calorific value, pollution-free operation, and high conversion rate, represents a highly promising direction for future energy development. Under the strategic backdrop of the "dual-carbon" policy, my country is also vigorously promoting the development of the hydrogen energy industry, particularly in the transportation sector. New energy vehicles using hydrogen fuel cells to replace traditional internal combustion engines are gradually gaining popularity in the consumer market. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles primarily use high-pressure hydrogen storage tanks to store gaseous hydrogen, which is then transported to the fuel cell to react with air and generate electricity to power the vehicle. The only product of this reaction is water, which does not cause environmental pollution or additional carbon emissions. With national policy support, hydrogen fuel cell vehicle technologies and industries will continue to develop rapidly, bringing greater benefits to my country's economic development and environmental protection.

Data recorded by a radiative heat flux meter placed near the combustion device is used to obtain the ignition source power during the localized / complete burning phase. Based on the ignition source power, the change in flame radiation flux of the combustion device's ignition source over horizontal distance is calculated. After the cylinder is vented, the jet flame formed by the high-pressure hydrogen increases the external radiation flux. The state parameters of the hydrogen at the vent are calculated based on the venting pressure to obtain the combustion heat release rate and jet flame length. Several point sources are selected evenly distributed along the central axis of the jet flame according to the flame length. The change in flame radiation in the horizontal direction of the jet flame is calculated based on the weight of each point source. The ignition source radiation of the combustion device and the radiation of the jet flame are superimposed to obtain the total external radiation flux. The risk distance is then assessed based on the personnel radiation hazard threshold.

The hydrogen storage cylinder fixing beam 9 is fixed to the middle of the rectangular support 10.

[0061] When a partial fire test is conducted on a high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder, the mass flow controller 3 controls some or all of the gas pipelines 8 of a set of combustion components located at the tail of the high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder to be connected to fuel and turns on the ignition switch to generate an ignition source; when a whole fire test is conducted on a high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder, the mass flow controller 3 controls some or all of the gas pipelines 8 of the two sets of combustion components located at the tail of the high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder to be in the open state and turns on the ignition switch to generate an ignition source.

Calculate the radiation flux at the target test point during the overall combustion stage: Start the combustion components of the front half of the combustion device so that both the front and rear combustion components of the combustion device are in the starting state. After the high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder is switched from local combustion to overall combustion, calculate the fire source power of the overall combustion stage according to the parameters recorded by the radiation heat flow meters set around the combustion device using general formula (1). After obtaining the fire source power of the overall combustion stage, the power of each target test point can be obtained according to general formula (4).

[0116] A. Determining the flame combustion surface: For the combustion device in this invention, such as Figure 3 As shown: the long side of the rectangle of the combustion device is the length direction of the fire source, the short side of the rectangle of the combustion device is the width direction of the fire source; the direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the combustion device is the height direction of the fire source.

[0117] When a high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder is partially burned, a cuboid model is established with the length of the gas pipeline in a set of combustion components as the length, the width corresponding to the number of gas pipelines carrying fuel in a set of combustion components below the tail of the high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder as the width, and the height of the resulting flame as the height.

[0118] When the high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder is burned as a whole, the gas pipelines in both sets of combustion components are partially or completely filled with fuel. Therefore, a cuboid model is established with the total length of the gas pipelines in the two sets of combustion components as the length, the width based on the number of gas pipelines filled with fuel in the combustion components as the width, and the height of the formed flame as the height.

[0119] The vertical plane containing the width and height of the cuboid model is the combustion surface:

Establishing the coordinate system: (e.g.) Figure 3 As shown, a three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system is established with the width direction of the fire source as the Y-axis, the height direction of the fire source as the Z-axis, the length direction of the fire source as the X-axis, and the center of the burning surface as the origin.

[0121]

[0122] Where x is the vertical distance between the target point to be tested and the combustion surface, and in formula (1), the target point to be tested is the sampling point set during the local burning stage, and in formula (2), the target point to be tested is the sampling point set during the overall burning stage; in formulas (3) and (4), the target point to be tested is the target test point. ;

[0123] y1 and y2 are the intercepts of the burning surface on the Y-axis (in fact, the coordinates of y1 and y2 are half the width of the fire source, such as...). Figure 3 As shown, (y2 is a positive value, y1 is a negative value), z1 and z2 are the intercepts of the combustion surface on the Z-axis. Similarly, z1 and z2 are half the height of the fire source (z2 is a positive value, z1 is a negative value).

[0125] When the fire transitions to a uniform combustion state, if the specific heat power of the overall fire source is determined based on the parameters of the radiation heat flux meter... 700kW / m 2 The combustion zone is approximately 0.85 m. 2 The radiant flux of the combustion device's ignition source in the external field reaches 4 kW / m². 2 The distance is 3.5-6.5 m, reaching 1.6 kW / m. 2 The distance is 5.5-10.2 m.

[0126] S2. Obtain the heat release rate and length of the jet flame during the cylinder venting phase: After the high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder is vented, the resulting jet flame increases external radiation. The heat release rate and length of the jet flame are calculated based on parameters such as the cylinder venting pressure. The calculation is based on the cylinder pressure reaching 1.2 times the nominal pressure before venting. For example, with a 140L-35 MPa high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder, the highest pressure before venting is 42 MPa.

[0127] Based on the relationship between the gas cylinder release pressure and the hydrogen release flow rate, the hydrogen flow rate u at the release nozzle can be obtained:
