Should all containerized systems be fitted with rupture panels in the roof/walls?
Rupture panels can add an additional layer of overpressure protection against internal overpressure. Given the propensity of hydrogen to generate higher over-pressures when ignited compared to other fuels, rupture panels are often part of the safety design for containerized systems. The need for a rupture panel for a specific system will be determined by the system hazard analysis and the applicable codes. Documents such as NFPA 68 and 69 provide guidance on how best to provide explosion prevention and protection.
