The fossil energy hydrogen production system mainly includes natural gas steam conversion hydrogen production 5.2.2 The detonation limit of hydrogen in normal temperature and pressure air is 18.3% ~ 59% (volume fraction); the detonation velocity is 1480 m/s ~ 2150 m/s. 6 Hazard factors of hydrogen system 6.1 Leakage and seepage 6.1.1 Hydrogen easily leaks through porous materials, assembly surfaces or sealing surfaces. After the hydrogen leaks, it will diffuse rapidly, resulting in the continuous expansion of combustible and explosive areas, meanwhile the diffusion process is invisible to the naked eye. The main factors affecting hydrogen leakage and diffusion include leakage location, ambient temperature, ambient wind speed, ambient wind direction and obstacles. 6.1.2 After the leakage of the liquid hydrogen and hydrogen slurry system, the liquid hydrogen and hydrogen slurry will quickly evaporate and diffuse, forming a visible explosive mist, which may cause the system to form a negative pressure and cause the surrounding air to enter the system to condense and freeze, blocking the pipes, valves and other components of the system. 6.1.3 Hydrogen easily penetrates into some non-metallic materials and causes hydrogen leakage. If hydrogen leakage occurs in the liquid hydrogen or hydrogen slurry system, it can lead to hydrogen loss or damage to the vacuum insulation layer. 6.2 Hazard factors related to combustion 6.2.1 If hydrogen, liquid hydrogen or hydrogen slurry is ignited, it will cause hydrogen to burn or explode. Hydrogen combustion can cause deterioration of the material properties of the hydrogen system, which may cause the hydrogen system to fail due to a sharp increase in internal temperature and pressure. 6.2.2 Hydrogen deflagration can lead to the rapid expansion of the combustion area and the rapid increase of the pressure in the confined space. The high- speed detonation wave produced by hydrogen detonation can have a huge impact on the environment outside the combustion zone, meanwhile it is accompanied by the rapid propagation of high-temperature gas. 6.3 Hazard factors related to pressure 6.3.1 The failure of the hydrogen system can cause the rapid release of high- pressure hydrogen storage energy, forming a shock wave, destroying surrounding facilities. 6.3.2 The heat leakage of the liquid hydrogen and hydrogen slurry system will the steel to form methane, causing steel decarburization and the formation of microcracks, resulting in irreversible deterioration of steel properties. The higher the temperature and the greater the hydrogen partial pressure, the more severe the hydrogen corrosion of steel. 6.6.2 After the metal absorbs internal hydrogen or external hydrogen, when the local hydrogen concentration reaches saturation, it will cause a decrease in plasticity, induce cracks or delay fracture. The higher the temperature, the greater the hydrogen partial pressure, the greater the strain rate, the more serious the hydrogen embrittlement of the metal. 6.7 Physiological hazards 6.7.1 Human skin directly contacting low-temperature hydrogen, liquid hydrogen or hydrogen slurry can cause frostbite; direct contact with high- temperature hydrogen flames that are invisible to the naked eye can easily cause high-temperature burns. 6.7.2 The large amount of ultraviolet radiation produced by hydrogen combustion is easy to damage human skin; the secondary fire caused by hydrogen fire can produce dense smoke or other harmful combustion products, which endanger human health. 7 Risk control 7.1 Basic principles The hydrogen system shall follow the following basic principles: a) Under the premise of meeting demand, control the amount of hydrogen used in storage and operation; b) Develop corresponding operating procedures; c) Reduce the number of people in hazardous environments and shorten their time; d) Avoid the accumulation of hydrogen/air (oxygen) mixture in confined spaces; e) Determine the explosion hazard area of the hydrogen system; the grade definition of the explosion hazard area shall meet the requirements of GB 50058; f) Ensure that there are no other debris in the explosion hazard area of the hydrogen system and the passage is unblocked. good low temperature toughness; its ductile brittle transition temperature shall be lower than the operating temperature of the system. 7.2.2.3 The non-metallic materials used in the hydrogen system shall have good resistance to hydrogen penetration. 7.2.2.4 When the shape or size of the material changes due to temperature or pressure changes, the deformation between adjacent materials shall be coordinated with each other, to ensure the sealing performance of the system and the normal operation of each component. 7.2.2.5 Metal materials in direct contact with hydrogen in the hydrogen system shall have good compatibility with hydrogen. When necessary, the hydrogen compatibility test shall be carried out on the material within the temperature and pressure range equivalent to the conditions of use. 7.2.2.6 For the hydrogen system, steel with low carbon content or strong carbide forming elements should be selected. 7.2.2.7 Refer to Appendix D for commonly used metal materials in hydrogen environment.
