SUMMARY

DNV Spadeadam Research and Development was commissioned by the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (Forsvarets forskningsinstitutt, FFI) and the NPRA to conduct a series of experiments investigating the behaviour of LH₂ when large releases occur to the atmosphere and into a closed ventilated enclosure. A total of 7 large releases (up to 50 kg.min^-1) from a liquid hydrogen storage tanker into the atmosphere were performed with variations in source tanker pressure, flow rate, orientation, ignition and atmospheric conditions. The data has been shown to be credible and suitable for model evaluations. The data reports have been published and are freely available on the internet, and this presentation serves as an introduction to the data-sets available and gives some guidance in interpreting them.
