Hydrogen emissions in battery charging rooms<\/h3>\n
\n

Batteries of electric cars and trolleys<\/strong>\u00a0A battery room designed for charging is a\u00a0potentially hazardous area. Indeed, charging batteries (especially those made of lead-acid) releases a dangerous gas:\u00a0hydrogen<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

When charging an electric car battery, chemical reactions take effect over a period of 6 to 8 hours. Hydrogen emissions<\/strong>\u00a0It is mainly revealed at the end of this period. Depending on the equipment, the power of the batteries and charger, and the charging environment, this process\u00a0particularly dangerous concentrations of hydrogen gas in a charging chamber<\/strong>\u00a0can create\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Today, the vast majority of logistics centers, handling centers and many manufacturing facilities use all kinds of electric cars (forklifts, motor stackers, pallet trucks, etc.). In large fleet configurations,\u00a0A dedicated battery charging room is a must<\/strong>\u00a0And\u00a0Risks caused by hydrogen battery release should not be ignored<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Battery hydrogen dangers<\/h3>\n

Explosive in air between 4.1% and 74.8% by volume<\/strong>\u00a0in a battery room, hydrogen reacts with oxygen in the ambient air.\u00a0It is likely to explode or cause fire. For example, when charging a forklift battery,\u00a0<\/strong>risk of explosion,<\/strong>\u00a0It is the most significant danger to those present and to the logistics or production infrastructure. Indeed, mismanagement of hydrogen concentrations generated when charging batteries has led to deaths and the destruction of production facilities in the past.<\/p>\n

Hydrogen H2 \u2013 CAS 1333-74-0 \u2013 also known as dihydrogen,\u00a0with various gases in the air<\/strong>\u00a0(oksijen, halojenler ve oksidanlar dahil) reaksiyona giren \u00e7ok u\u00e7ucu, yan\u0131c\u0131 ve patlay\u0131c\u0131 bir gazd\u0131r.

It is a very volatile, flammable and explosive gas that reacts with gases (including oxygen, halogens and oxidants). Moreover, the explosive and flammable reactions of this gas are enhanced in the presence of metal catalysts.\u00a0Breathing hydrogen in a battery chamber<\/strong>\u00a0personnel may experience various health effects (headache, dizziness, suffocation).<\/p>\n

Explosion and fire hazards caused by hydrogen,\u00a0Safety precautions in the battery charging room<\/strong>\u00a0makes its implementation mandatory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Regulation: Battery room safety requirements<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Securing a battery charging room<\/strong>\u00a0The\u00a0regulations set out numerous measures for . The order dated May 29, 2000 and Decree No. 2006-646 dated May 31, 2006 regulate the use of lead-acid batteries. A special battery room is mandatory for charging lead-acid batteries of electric cars and cars with a direct current power of 50 kW onwards.\u00a0.<\/strong>\u00a0This regulatory obligation is the first safety requirement against hydrogen emissions, fire and explosion hazards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Regulations for the charging room also include\u00a0eyewash, acid holding tank, hazardous area indicator, fire extinguishers, fireproof floor, waterproof coating for dirty water, fire doors and IP55l lighting.\u00a0It also requires safety design and equipment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Safety regulations also limit the presence of hydrogen to 1% of the volume of the battery chamber.<\/strong>\u00a0Requires the presence of mechanical ventilation. In addition to this requirement, in the event of a ventilation failure\u00a0automatic shutdown of chargers<\/strong>\u00a0It is mandatory. Finally, there is a button to activate ventilation and stop battery charging urgently.\u00a0hydrogen measuring unit<\/strong>\u00a0must\u00a0exist.<\/p>\n

Additionally, to ensure everyone's safety, personnel working in or near the battery room must be authorized to intervene and must be trained on potential hazards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In compliance with ATEX standards and regulations,\u00a0a charging room for electric cars must have an ATEX classification (zone 1 or 2). ATEX zoning requires maximum precautions\u00a0an explosive atmosphere<\/strong>\u00a0expresses its existence. In logistics, handling or manufacturing environments, a battery room situation with concentrations of hydrogen in the air is a\u00a0ATEX zone<\/strong>\u00a0creates .<\/p>\n

Minimizing explosion risks<\/strong>\u00a0All equipment brought and operated in an ATEX classified area must be approved for\u00a0. Therefore, for example, a battery charging room must be equipped with an ATEX-certified mechanical ventilation and gas detection system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A hydrogen detection system in a battery room to ensure personnel and infrastructure safety<\/strong>\u00a0Installation is essential.\u00a0The presence of hydrogen detectors\u00a0and a gas control unit is also required by regulations governing the use of batteries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Measurement of gas concentrations in a battery room, with an ATEX fixed hydrogen detector<\/strong>\u00a0It can be accomplished with\u00a0.\u00a0These devices, such as the OLC and OLCT 100 detectors\u00a0are ATEX approved and fit perfectly into a battery charging room. This\u00a0Oldham Simtronics Teledyne gas detection equipment,\u00a0constantly monitors the level of hydrogen concentration<\/strong>\u00a0. The measurement will be performed in %LEL (explosiveness) using a gas detection catalytic sensor. The battery room\u00a0fixed gas detector\u00a0can be connected to a control unit via a 4-20 mA linear output or a Wheatstone bridge output. The number of detectors to be installed depends on the size of the area to be covered. This equipment is suitable for the volatility of\u00a0H2 gas.\u00a0It must be installed at a certain height.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Among the fixed gas detectors, the\u00a0Spyglass SG50\u00a0optical flame detector can visualize hydrogen fires with its near-infrared video option, while the\u00a0Spyglass IR3-H2\u00a0flame detector can detect hydrogen up to 30 meters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

gas detection controller,\u00a0main control for battery room safety<\/strong>\u00a0performs the task.\u00a0The Oldham MX32 controller is\u00a0ATEX equipment perfectly suited for hydrogen monitoring in battery charging rooms.<\/p>\n

The fixed gas detection system is based on simple operations. The hydrogen concentration formed by charging the batteries of forklifts and electric stackers is transmitted to the control unit by detectors. Measurement centralization in the device is then\u00a0to constantly monitor<\/strong>\u00a0makes it possible. The gas controller connected to the various servo controls automatically operates them according to the gas concentration level.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In accordance with the regulations in force, it will monitor the gas level and immediately stop charging the batteries in the event of a dangerous concentration of hydrogen. Likewise, in the event of a ventilation failure, charging will be interrupted. At the same time, to achieve an optimum level of safety, the gas controller\u00a0alarmlar ve \u0131\u015f\u0131k sinyalleri<\/strong> can be connected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In addition to a portable hydrogen gas detector<\/h3>\n
\n

In addition to the fixed hydrogen monitoring installation, maintenance or fire safety departments\u00a0may use a portable gas detector (such as the\u00a0portable 4 gas detector ). When dealing with battery rooms, portable gas monitors make an invaluable addition in the event of an alarm to eliminate any doubt.\u00a0Very affordable devices are available as explosive flammable gas monitors (0-100% LEL H2), such as Dr\u00e4ger's\u00a0Xam2500-EXPLO flammable gas detector.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
