Analysis of the stress-strain state of the hydrogen receiver housing

This article discusses the operation of auxiliary equipment in a stress-strain state. When using hydrogen in the energy industry, it is necessary to take into account and evaluate not only the high energy properties of hydrogen fuel during use, but also its effect on auxiliary equipment. Hydrogen must be stored at high pressure (at gas stations, the pressure can reach 70 MPa). Special attention should be paid to the complete condition of the hydrogen fuel storage receiver – welding points and welds are most susceptible to damage. The finite element method can be one of the ways to analyze the operation and then predict the condition of auxiliary equipment. Based on the finite element method, a calculation scheme was constructed that made it possible to predict the design change over time under the influence of internal forces. The conducted research will make it possible to identify defects at an earlier stage of operation and obtain the results of a numerical analysis of the stress-strain state. At the moment, GOST 24755-89 is the main standard in the Russian Federation that defines the norms and methods of strength calculation. This standard establishes norms and methods for calculating the strength of strengthening holes in shells, transitions and convex bottoms of vessels and apparatuses used in chemical oil refining and related industries operating under the influence of internal or external pressure. As a result of the research, the permissible values of geometric parameters have been determined to ensure the vital activity and strength of the hydrogen receiver housing for design pressures and possible fluctuations, wall temperature, permissible prolongation of service life, and operating time.
