4 FAQs about Fire protection requirements for cabinet-type energy storage equipment

Should a fire module/cabinet contain water?

Water has superior cooling capacity, is plentiful (in many areas), and is easy to transport to the seat of the fire. While water might be the agent of choice, the module/cabinet configuration could make penetration of water dificult for cooling the area of origin but might still be efective for containment.

How do you protect a battery module from a fire?

The most practical protection option is usually an external, fixed firefighting system. A fixed firefighting system does not stop an already occurring thermal runaway sequence within a battery module, but it can prevent fire spread from module to module, or from pack to pack, or to adjacent combustibles within the space.

Can water spray be used on high-voltage fire suppression systems?

Water spray has been deemed safe as an agent for use on high-voltage systems. Water mist fire suppression systems need to be designed specifically for use with the size and configuration of the specific ESS installation or enclosure being protected. Currently there is no generic design method recognized for water mist systems.

How do you protect a lithium-ion battery from a fire?

The emphasis is on risk mitigation measures and particularly on active fire protection. cooling of batteries by dedicated air or water-based circulation methods. structural means to prevent the fire from spreading out of the afected space. ABS, BV, DNV, LR, and RINA. 3. Basics of lithium-ion battery technology
