기후변화는 가장 중요한 환경 문제 중 하나로, 이 변화의 주요 원인은 화석연료 사용으로 인한 탄소배출이다. 이에 대응하기 위해 다양한 대체 연료가 주목받고 있다. 이 중에서도 수소는 대용량 저장 및 대규모 운송 등 연료로서 많은 장점을 가지고 있지만 극인화성 기체이며 빠르게 확산되는 특성이 있어 수소를 다루는 시설에서는 환기를 통해 내부 안전을 확보하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구는 밀폐공간에서 수소가 누출될 경우, 효율적으로 배출시킬 수 있는 급·배기구의 위치를 비교 및 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 실험은 총 6가지의 급기구와 배기구 조합으로 시나리오를 구성하였다. 실험과정의 안전을 고려하여 수소 대신 물리적 성질이 유사한 헬륨을 사용하여 환기시스템이 작동 중일 때의 내부 산소농도를 분석하였다. 실험결과, 6가지 시나리오 중에서 하부측면의 급기구와 상부측면의 배기구를 활용한 환기(Case2)가 4분 30초로 가장 짧은 환기소요시간을 나타내었다. 더 나아가 상·중·하부 영역에 따른 산소농도감소율을 확인한 결과, 상부 영역에서는 상부면 급기구와 상부면·상부측면에 두 개의 배기구를 활용한 환기(Case6)가, 중부와 하부에서는 Case2가 낮은 값을 보였다.
Abstract
Climate change is currently one of the most pressing environmental issues, primarily caused by carbon emissions from fossil fuel usage. As a result, alternative fuels that effectively reduce carbon emissions are garnering more attention. Among these alternatives, hydrogen has numerous advantages, such as its ability for large-scale storage and transport. However, it is crucial to prioritize safety measures, particularly in facilities that handle hydrogen, due to its highly flammable and fast-spreading nature. This study aims to compare and analyze the placement of supply and exhaust vents to efficiently release hydrogen in the event of a leak in an enclosed space. The experiments involved six different scenarios, each with various combinations of supply and exhaust vents. To ensure the experimental process's safety, helium, which shares similar physical properties with hydrogen, was used to analyze the internal oxygen concentration during ventilation system operations. The results revealed that among the six scenarios, Case 2, which employed a lower side supply vent and an upper side exhaust vent, exhibited the shortest ventilation time of 4 minutes and 30 seconds. Additionally, the decrease rate in oxygen concentration was examined in the upper, middle, and lower areas. Ventilation utilizing an upper surface supply vent and two exhaust vents on the upper surface and upper side (Case 6), showed lower oxygen concentration values in the upper area, while Case 2 yielded lower values in the middle and lower areas. Therefore, it is crucial to select an appropriate supply and exhaust vent configuration considering the space's characteristics and usage environment.
