Determination of Ignition Voltage in Tank Vehicles Carrying Gasoline and LPG in Electric Field Zone
Keywords:
ignition voltage, open voltage, electric field intensity, critical electric fieldAbstract
This study has been conducted through computer simulations of ignition voltages, and opened-voltage on fuel tank vehicles consisted of gasoline and LPG, which is caused by the intensity of the electric field. This study reported the condition when tank vehicles consist of 5,000 liters of gasoline was passing through the electric field zone then it showed the ignition voltages was 3014.15 Volts, for tanks consist of 16,000 liters gasoline showed 2818.66 Volts. Other conditions among tanks consist of 9500 kg LPG showed ignition voltage as much as 2773.93 Volts while in the critical fields were 4040.42 Volts/meters, 2396.82 Volts/meters and 2040.55 Volts/meters, respectively. By knowing the ignition voltage result among the conditions as mentioned above, this study concluded that the tank on vehicles consisted of 5,000 liters gasoline had the most sensitivity to fire, followed by the tank on vehicles consisted of 16,000-liter gasoline and 9,500 kg LPG.
