Depends on your equipment.
\nFIRST:Brown\u2019s Gas (BG) is powerfully explosive as it is mostly diatomic hydrogen and oxygen in ideal stoichiometric mixture.
\nAs pressure is increased on BG, the gas density increases and its \u2018explosion pressure spike\u2019 becomes more powerful.
\nIn my experience:At ambient pressure a \u2018torpedo\u2019 type pop bottle will usually contain the explosion; though it will melt from the resulting heat. \u00a0\u2018Static pressure\u2019 tests of torpedo pop bottles show they will withstand about 150 psi. (click)At 70 psi a BG explosion will cause 1\/4\u2033 steel plate to become convex. \u00a0That test was one of the loudest explosions I\u2019d ever heard. \u00a0I\u2019ve worked with explosives all my life and I have blasting certification.If the explosion ruptures your container, the result is a very powerful bomb.
\nIf the explosion does not rupture your container, you will end up with a vacuum in the container as the BG converts to water, a reduction in volume of 1866 times. \u00a0It won\u2019t be a perfect vacuum because steam and water vapor take up some volume.
\nMy ER1200 WaterTorches have a 1\/4\u2033 steel tube-shell and 1\/2\u2033 steel endplates. \u00a0I operate them at 10 psig. \u00a010 psi is enough to reliably fuel a torch that handles 1200 liters per hour of BG. \u00a0Lower pressure is safer!
\nMy ER50 electrolyzer is schedule 40 PVC and operates at ambient pressure, or up to 1 psig when operating as a WaterTorch.
\nSECOND: BG contains all the energy it needs to ignite itself. \u00a0It only needs a combination of temperature, pressure, and\/or a sharp point or edge (to concentrate the \u2018static\u2019 electricity).
\nI once had an ER1150 WaterTorch come all the way back from Australia because, during manufacture, a tiny spiral of metal fell into its liquid\/vapor separator.
\nThe WaterTorch passed all our factory tests but upon reaching the customer it would internally explode every time its pressure rose to about 15 psi. (The ER1150 normal operation pressure was about 20 psi).
\nUpon receiving the WaterTorch back in my lab I confirmed that it was exploding everytime it reached about 15 psi. \u00a0I took the machine apart, discovered the tiny metal spiral, put the machine back together and it pressurized normally from then on.
\nI assume that during our initial factory tests the metal spiral was laying point down. \u00a0As the machine was jostled during transport, the point came up. \u00a0The sharp point was all the BG needed to self ignite.
\nTHIRD:As I stated above, pressure and temperature are also enough to ignite the BG. \u00a0The pressure \/ temperature relationship is inverse. \u00a0The lower you can keep the temperature, the higher you can pressurize the BG. \u00a0Personally I like to run my BG electrolyzers hot, so I keep as low a pressure as practical.
\nI do not have charts on the pressure \/ temperature relationship because I discovered that, for safeties sake, I never wanted to have high pressure BG anyway.
\nI do not recommend any application that isn\u2019t thoroughly designed to handle the inevitable internal explosions. \u00a0Personally I do not pressurize BG\u2026 I use it as soon as possible after it is created.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product-resource-group":[101],"restricted-resource-tag":[],"class_list":["post-885","product-resource","type-product-resource","status-publish","hentry","product-resource-group-browns-gas-book-2-resources"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aquacure-jeffro-dev.linksdev.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-resource\/885","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aquacure-jeffro-dev.linksdev.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-resource"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aquacure-jeffro-dev.linksdev.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product-resource"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aquacure-jeffro-dev.linksdev.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=885"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product-resource-group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aquacure-jeffro-dev.linksdev.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-resource-group?post=885"},{"taxonomy":"restricted-resource-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aquacure-jeffro-dev.linksdev.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/restricted-resource-tag?post=885"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
