A3 - VESSEL
Field of Application:
- Distribution of hydrogen in closed volumes
- Turbulent Combustion in uniform and non-uniform gas mixtures at different initial pressures
- Flame Propagation regime, effect of venting and pre-compression in connecting rooms
- Flame Acceleration and DDT (deflagration-to-detonation-transition), effect of obstacles and multiple, connected compartments with different volumes
- Vented Explosions, Detonations
Instrumentation:
- Thermocouples (gas temperature)
- Piezoelectric and piezoresistive gauges (pressure)
- Mass spectrometer, gas flow control (gas composition)
- Sonic hydrogen sensors (hydrogen distribution)
- Photodiodes, ion probes (gas velocity)
Technical Details:
- Cylindrical vessel of 33 m^3, internal diameter: 2.5 m, height: 8 m
- Licensed static pressure of 60 bar
- Temperature: ambient
- Gas components: Hydrogen, Air, Nitrogen, Oxygen
- Several vents of different sizes
- Internal volume can be divided into several joint rooms with different volumes
- Regular obstacle grids can be inserted
- A3-Vessel can be connected with other vessels, e.g. the A1-Vessel
