This transition necessitates establishing an infrastructure for storing, transporting, and distributing hydrogen. This infrastructure includes modular tube trailers for compressed gas and stationary equipment to transfer, dispense, and store hydrogen. These systems are typically equipped with pressure relief devices (PRDs) to protect systems from uncontrolled pressure increases. Without PRDs, a substantial pressure increase has the potential to rupture equipment and release hydrogen, which could lead to fires, explosions, and significant damage. In that sense, the U.S. requires the use of PRDs on tube trailers to prevent these events; however, European regulations and standards do not require their use, providing two contrasting approaches. Furthermore, recent incidents and risk assessments have shown that these PRDs can also be the root cause of leaks and releases.</div><div>This paper describes a quantitative risk assessment (QRA) performed on a gaseous hydrogen refueling station supplied by a tube trailer, identifying the contribution and effect that PRDs have on the overall hydrogen fueling station risk. In this work, we consider twenty different tube trailer arrangements by varying the number of tubes and the PRDs installed on the tubes, evaluating the impact of PRDs on risk.

Nevertheless, the risk associated with using fireproofing or a thermal protection system decreased by a maximum of 2% relative to the cases aligned with the European approach (i.e., no PRDs installed without fireproofing). Additionally, the importance measures indicate that there is a higher importance in the risk contributed by events initiated by PRDs (i.e., spurious operations, external leaks) than the risk of not controlling and overpressure (i.e., failure to operate) showing that the European approach is more reasonable, from a risk-based perspective, than the U.S. requirement.</div><div>These results provide important insights into design and operational changes, as well as upcoming code and standard developments, to ensure the continuous, safe, and reliable operation of hydrogen systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":337,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Hydrogen Energy","volume":"217 ","pages":"Article 153719"},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2026-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146187052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We experimentally investigated the combustion characteristics and emissions of a multi-fuel combined supply system using oxyhydrogen negative pressure induction, bioethanol direct injection (BEDI), and gasoline port fuel injection. At 1500 rpm and excess air ratio 1, integrated oxyhydrogen technology improves combustion efficiency and significantly reduces CO and HC emissions; however, NOx emissions increase. With increasing BEDI pressure, the indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP) and maximum in-cylinder pressure increase initially and then decrease. CO and HC emissions show a similar trend, decreasing initially and then increasing, while NO is reduced by an average of 14.09%. Advancing BEDI timing benefits the cyclic coefficient of variation of IMEP. When the BEDI timing is within 250–300°CA BTDC, HC, CO, and particulate emissions reach their lowest levels, with particulates decreasing by up to 70.11%.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":337,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Hydrogen Energy","volume":"217 ","pages":"Article 154007"},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2026-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146187211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
