Hydrogen explosion facts

On the reality of hydrogen explosion
Those who have hydrogen, the gas is the lightest and flammable. It exists in the world, exists in various scenes, and is related to safety and cannot be ignored.

Hydrogen explosion involves the mixing ratio first. When hydrogen is mixed with air or oxygen in a specific range, it is prone to explosion. It is scientifically known that hydrogen in the air, if its proportion is between about 4.0% and 75.6%, is in danger of explosion when triggered by fire or energy; in oxygen, the proportion of hydrogen is between about 4.65% and 93.9%, and it is also explosive. The boundary of this ratio is like a thunder pool, and if you exceed it, you will be in danger.

Furthermore, the source of fire is the cause of explosion. Although hydrogen is colorless and odorless, it is not easy to detect, but small fire sources, such as open flames, static sparks, hot topic surfaces, etc., can cause it to explode. In industrial places, static electricity is generated by friction of equipment. If it is not properly removed, it will explode in an instant when it encounters a combustible mixture of hydrogen. The destruction will hurt people, and the disaster will be great.

In addition, the power of a hydrogen explosion is particularly terrifying. When the explosion occurs, the energy is released suddenly, and the high temperature and high pressure are produced at an extremely high speed, forming a powerful shock wave. As far as this wave is concerned, the bricks and stones collapse, the house collapses, and the surrounding life is charred. And after the explosion, it is often accompanied by a fire, which burns with the high heat of hydrogen. The fire is rapid and difficult to control, resulting in a wider range of disasters and

Therefore, in order to prevent hydrogen explosion, it is necessary to strictly abide by the rules of safety. In industrial production, good ventilation should be ensured to disperse the accumulated hydrogen; equipment should be well grounded to avoid static electricity; hot work must follow strict procedures and be carefully monitored. In daily places, we should also pay attention to hydrogen sources, such as around hydrogen energy facilities, beware of fire, popularize safety awareness, so that everyone knows the risk of hydrogen explosion, and build safety precautions together. In this way, we can protect ourselves from the disaster of hydrogen explosion.
