Fire Safety Evaluation of High-Pressure Ammonia Storage Systems

Abstract: Ammonia combustion is a promising energy source as a carbon free fuel without greenhouse gas emissions. However, since the auto-ignition temperature is 651 degrees Celsius and the range of flammability limit is not wide compared to other fuels, fundamental studies on ammonia fires have rarely been conducted so far. Therefore, this study aims to numerically estimate fire spread characteristics when ammonia fuel in a high-pressure state leaks to the outside, especially focusing on the flammability limit accordin… Show more

“…Ammonia is an inorganic compound with a wide range of applications. Despite its toxic, corrosive and flammable properties (Chung et al 2022) it is used, inter alia, in the pharmaceutical industry (Salamonowicz et al 2022), artificial fertilizers (Rosa et al 2021) and industrial freezing (Ubowska 2018). In recent years, the world has seen an increasing production of ammonia, which in 2020 exceeded the value of 185•109 kg (Intern.…”
