Abstract

The publication presents methods and pre-test results of a stand for testing CHSS in terms of resistance to open fire. The basis for the conducted research is the applicable provisions contained in the UN/ECE Regulation R134. The study includes an overview of contemporary solutions for hydrogen storage systems in high-pressure tanks in means of transport. Development in this area is a response to the challenge of reducing global carbon dioxide emissions and limiting the emissions of toxic compounds. The variety of storage systems used is driven by constraints, including energy demand and available space. New tank designs and conducted tests allow for an improvement in systems in terms of their functionality and safety. Today, the advancement of modern technologies for producing high-pressure tanks allows for the use of working pressures up to 70 MPa. The main goal of the presented research is to present the requirements and research methodology verifying the tank structure and the security systems used in open-fire conditions. These tests are the final stage of the approval process for individual pressure vessels or complete hydrogen storage systems. Their essence is to eliminate the occurrence of an explosion in the event of a fire.
