Hydrogen Cars Blow Up Risks
On the Explosion Risk of Hydrogen Energy Vehicles
In recent times, technology has improved, and hydrogen energy vehicles have emerged. However, the risk of explosion cannot be ignored.
Hydrogen is flammable and has a very low ignition point, only about 580 degrees Celsius. Its combustion rate is extremely fast, and it can burn in air at a speed of two meters per second. This characteristic makes hydrogen energy vehicles prone to explosions under certain circumstances.
In terms of storage, hydrogen storage requires high pressure or low temperature conditions. For high-pressure hydrogen storage, if the container is defective, or the container is damaged due to external impact or vibration, hydrogen leaks, and explodes instantly in case of open flame or static electricity. Hydrogen storage at low temperature requires cooling hydrogen to a very low temperature. If the equipment that maintains this low temperature state fails, it will also cause hydrogen to escape and cause an explosion.
Furthermore, although the fuel cell system of hydrogen energy vehicles is delicate and complex, it also poses risks. When the fuel cell is in operation, the heat and gas generated by the internal chemical reaction can also cause an explosion if the heat and gas generated by the internal chemical reaction are not smooth, if they accumulate too much heat and the pressure rises sharply.
During driving, a collision accident or the hydrogen storage device and fuel cell of a hydrogen energy vehicle are damaged, and hydrogen leaks. And environmental factors such as road bumps and high temperatures may exacerbate equipment losses and increase the risk of hydrogen leakage, and the leakage of hydrogen, such as the salary of ignition, will become a prairie fire in case of a fire source.
To sum up, the explosion risk of hydrogen energy vehicles comes from its fuel characteristics, storage methods, equipment operation and driving environment. To make hydrogen energy vehicles widely used and safe, it is necessary to continuously improve the technical level and strengthen safety measures in order to enable them to move forward steadily in the future transportation field and avoid the risk of explosions.
