6 FAQs about [Energy storage fire extinguishing]
Can a battery energy storage system control electrical fires?
However, these systems may be used in the computer or control rooms of an ESS to control any electrical fires. Thermal runaway in lithium batteries results in an uncontrollable rise in temperature and propagation of extreme fire hazards within a battery energy storage system (BESS).
Can a Stat-X condensed aerosol fire suppression system be installed on a battery?
Install & Protect This fire test demonstrates a Stat-X condensed aerosol fire suppression system on a li-ion battery module in a battery energy storage system (BESS) application. This video is an overview of our recent energy storage systems test.
Does chemical suppression stop thermal runaway?
As concentration levels for a Class B fires are different than that of the Class C fires, chemical suppression alone will not stop thermal runaway. Suppression will extinguish a Class C fire inside the ESS container or building and will stop an electrolyte fire from off-gassing of the batteries but not thermal runaway.
Can a sprinkler system extinguish a lithium-ion battery fire?
Take sprinkler systems, for example. While testing has demonstrated them to be effective in extinguishing a lithium-ion battery fire, there are still drawbacks to using them. The application of water on electronics can cause electrical faults (such as short circuits in the BESS). Additionally, damage to surrounding unburned batteries is likely.
How does Fike protect lithium ion batteries and energy storage systems?
Learn how Fike protects lithium ion batteries and energy storage systems from devestating fires through the use of gas detection, water mist and chemical agents.
What is a fire suppression system?
Suppression Systems. Fire suppression systems are often recommended to quickly reduce the combustible atmosphere created from thermal runaway. When a malfunctioning battery is detected, either through gas, smoke, or heat detection, the connected fire panel may release one of two recommended fire suppression systems: water mist or gaseous agents.
