Abstract

High-pressure hydrogen jet fire from a storage tank impinging another tank located nearby is a worst-case incident scenario. This could result in storage vessel rupture with catastrophic consequences implying life and property loss. The concept of microleaks-no-burst (μLNB) performance of hydrogen storage tanks of Type IV is explained. In this study, the breakthrough safety technology of explosion free in fire self-venting (TPRD-less) tank with nominal working pressure (NWP) of 70 MPa is validated again st the most extreme fire conditions of an impinging hydrogen jet from 70 MPa tank. The results of the successful performance of self-venting tank in momentum-dominated hydrogen impinging jet fire are analysed. This work expands further the experimental validation domain of the explosion free in fire self-venting tanks to scenario of impinging fire of the highest applied intensity of HRR/A = 19.5 MW/m2.
