MELBOURNE, Feb 6 (Reuters) – A valve failure that caused a flame to flare up briefly on the world’s first liquid hydrogen carrier before its first trip from Australia to Japan highlighted the need for strong fault detection systems, evden eVE NakLiYaT an Australian safety report found.

The cause of the incident on the Suiso Frontier on Jan. 25 last year has been fixed, the Australian Transportation Safety Board said in a report released last week.The ship had loaded liquid hydrogen for the trip the day before.

The ship’s builder, Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI) , was not immediately available to comment on the report.

The malfunction did not stop the ship going ahead with its test journey, eVden eVe NakliyAt and KHI said in March the trip had shown that shipping liquid hydrogen was technically feasible.

Building ships to carry super-chilled hydrogen is one of many factors holding back hydrogen use, EVdEn EVe NAkLiYaT seen as key to helping the world decarbonise to fight climate change.

The malfunction on the Suiso Frontier was because of an automated valve in its gas combustion unit being damaged during the ship’s journey from Japan to Australia as it had the wrong specification for the control system’s power supply, the safety bureau said in its report released on Feb.2.

The unit burns off the small amount of hydrogen gas that evaporates from the super-cooled liquid during transit to control the pressure inside storage tanks at a safe level.

When the valve failed, Evden eVE NAkLiyaT an air fan damper closed, evdEn EVe nakliYAt overheating the gas combustion unit, which caused the hydrogen flame inside the unit to flare up through a vent on the ship’s deck.

The unit did not have equipment to detect the closing of the air damper and had ineffective flame scanners, so the combustion unit’s alarm and shut-down mechanisms did not activate in time to stop the flame flaring through the vent.”This incident highlights the importance of ensuring automated shipboard operating systems are equipped with safety controls to prevent hazardous consequences in the event of a malfunction,” the agency said.

The German firm that built the gas combustion unit, Saacke, has since installed new equipment on the unit’s air fan discharge dampers and has programmed the unit to shut down if a fault is detected, the bureau said.If you loved this information and you would like to obtain more details relating to EVDen Eve NAkLiyAt kindly visit our internet site.

The collection, worth approximately $120,000, featured Ukrainian and German bills that was currency of choice at Nazi camps during World World II.

Authorities in Argentina were tipped off by the , who had previously flagged the Argentine man because he had three ongoing investigations for eVdeN eVe nAKLiYat alleged crimes that were committed.The man had also been investigated several months ago by customs agents in Argentina for importing a coin collection.

A customs agent in Argentina separates a collection of bills and coins that confiscated from a couple Wednesday after they arrived in a ferry and claimed they didn’t have goods to declare before an officer and a sniffer dog made the discovery

A sniffer dog who is part of Argentina’s Directorate General of Customs helped officers find a large collection of coins and bills, including currency that was used at Nazi camps during World War II

A customs agent and a sniffer dog were called in to perform a search of the vehicle after the couple confessed that they were not importing any goods that needed to be declared with the agency. 

Footage released by the agency showed the K9 sniffing the front passenger seat area. If you have any concerns pertaining to the place and how to use evDen eVE nAkliYAT, you can speak to us at our web page.  

The agent raised suspicions when the dog detected the presence of potential contraband inside the vehicle’s trunk.

Customs agents inspected the couple’s luggage and discovered paper and coin currency from several countries.

The officers then searched a spare tire and found a larger cache of bills and coins.

Although the couple claimed they were the rightful owners of the collection, the stash was confiscated as part of the investigation.

One of the Nazi camp currency bills read: ‘This note is only valid as a means of payment for evDEn EVe nAkliYAT prisoners of war and can only be spent and received by them within the prisoner of war camp or in the case of working days in the purchasing offices expressly designated for that purpose.’
