    高压储氢系统用橡胶密封件的氢相容性试验

    Hydrogen compatibility test of rubber seals for high-pressure hydrogen storage systems

    • 摘要: 橡胶密封件是高压储氢系统中的关键部件,而橡胶材料在高压氢气环境下易发生体积膨胀,进而导致密封失效,影响系统的整体安全性。在实际应用中,橡胶材料类型、氢气压力、环境温度、泄压速率及泄压后的静置时间等因素均会显著影响橡胶密封件的氢相容性。系统评估了上述因素对橡胶密封材料质量变化率与体积变化率的影响规律。结果表明:当泄压时间控制在10 s内时,泄压速率对材料性能的影响较小;温度是决定材料氢相容性的主导因素,高温会显著增强氢的渗透与扩散能力,导致材料体积膨胀明显加剧,而低温可有效抑制该溶胀效应;压力升高虽然对质量变化的影响有限,但会加剧橡胶的体积膨胀;适当延长泄压后的静置时间,能明显降低材料的溶胀程度。研究结果对高压储氢系统密封材料的选型、设计及系统安全性提升具有重要的参考价值。

       

      Abstract: Rubber seals were key components in high-pressure hydrogen storage systems. However, rubber materials were prone to volume expansion in high-pressure hydrogen environments, which further led to seal failure and compromised the overall safety of the system. In practical applications, factors such as rubber material type, hydrogen pressure, ambient temperature, depressurization rate, and standing time after depressurization significantly affected the hydrogen compatibility of rubber seals.This study systematically evaluated the influence laws of the above factors on the mass change rate and volume change rate of rubber sealing materials. The results show that when the depressurization time was controlled within 10 s, the depressurization rate had little effect on material properties. Temperature was the dominant factor determining the hydrogen compatibility of materials, high temperature significantly enhanced the permeability and diffusion of hydrogen, leading to intensified volume expansion of the material, while low temperature effectively inhibited such swelling effect. Although the increase in hydrogen pressure had a limited effect on mass change, it aggravated the volume expansion of rubber. Properly extending the standing time after depressurization could significantly reduce the swelling degree of the material.The research results provided important reference value for the selection and design of sealing materials for high-pressure hydrogen storage systems and the improvement of system safety.
