Discussion on Hazards of Hydrogen Production With Water Electrolysis and Placement of Gas Detectors
As a important candidate for fueling the Green Energy transition,hydrogen is of the characteristics of combustible and small molecular structure,which can destroy the pipeline and container material through embrittlement,and leads to leak and great potential risk.The dangerousness of hydrogen produced with electrolysis with water is introduced in detail,including relative potential safety hazard and potential risk.The design of gas detecting system for electrolysis installation workshop is stressed.According to the suggestion of IEC 61511,the associated automatic shutdown of the electrolyzer and control scheme of returning to safe state are designed,with combination of the method of gas detection layout recommended in ISATR84.00.07,the number and location for detector are determined,the system accuracy and efficiency are ensured.
