The hydrogen is stored as liquid similar to a liquid propane tank with vapor that builds on the top.
The vapor in the tank is allowed to reach 150 PSI before venting.
I am curious how many cubic feet we lose each time the tank vents.
2 inch vent line for 2-5 minutes.
1. Tank holds 2 million cubic feet of hydrogen
2. Tank is outdoors so ambient can be any temperature in this area ( -10F to 100F )
3. 20 ft of pipe straight up with a 90 as it comes out of the tank and a vent valve.
4. Truck delivery
5. 150 PSI
6. Not sure of the pressure rating but...
I have a large hydrogen storage tank that vents when the pressure exceeds 150 PSI. I am trying to get a rough calculation of how much hydrogen we are losing. I know it is a 2 inch pipe and the pressure drops from 150 PSI to 120PSI. The venting lasts between 2 and 5 minutes. How do I...
