Safety Concept
PRD‘sSafety CircuitControlMicro Controller and CVMU‘s
• Keep System in normal parameters
• Normal shut down if first level switching points are reached
• Prevent system from getting damaged
• Prevent hydrogen from leaving the system
Hard wired safety circuit• Switches for temperature,
pressure and flow
• Emergency Shut Down if switching points are reached
• Preventing system from getting damaged
• Preventing hydrogen from leaving the system
Pressure Relief Devices• Safety valves
• Melting fuses
• Preventing the system from getting damaged
• Releasing hydrogen to surrounding if set pressure points or temperatures of melting fuse are reached
Packaging and System LayoutAvoiding H2 Leakage
• Welding instead of screwing
• Depressurizing high and mid pressure pipes if not in use
• Inerting mid and low pressure pipes if not in use
• Double-walled pipes
Ex-Zone Concept• Sectional classification in ship
• Forced air ventilation of areas with possibility of H2 leakage
• Monitoring gas concentration

Fire Incident on Alsterwasser
What happened:• Test drive in basin of ship yard
• Cover of battery compartment remaind open because of test drive
• Fire in battery compartment
• Detection and automatically emergency shut down
NO EXPLOSION RISK AT ANY TIME
SAFETYCONCEPT PROOFED IT’S RELIABILITY
Messages:• Fuel cell systems on marine applications are safe
• Operator ATG clings to fuel cell systems on ships
• Alsterwasser shall be restored as soon as cause of incident is evident
