Energy storage systems have rapidly become the focus point of global development. Numerous new energy companies, along with high-tech companies, are actively growing their energy storage business. Various policies are in discussion in terms of energy conservation, storage, and evolving new energy cities which advocates the consideration for fire protection within this process.
Currently, the main component of energy storage is dependent on lithium battery energy storage. This includes lithium batteries, lithium battery containers, lithium battery clusters, along with their surrounding supporting facilities.
As mentioned, there are four levels to lithium battery energy storage: lithium battery cluster, lithium battery, lithium battery container, and lithium battery pack. Subsequently, there are three levels to fire protection of lithium battery new energy storage: lithium battery cluster fire protection, lithium battery pack fire protection, and lithium battery container fire protection. Condensed aerosol fire suppression devices can be installed as the ideal fire protection for all energy storage levels.
Small Capacity Aerosol Systems For Lithium Battery Clusters
FirePro Cylindrical Generators are small to medium sized aerosol systems that allow flexible applications. The capacity range on cylindrical generators range from 20 grams to 500 grams which makes it ideal for lithium battery cluster applications. There are generally numerous battery packs in a battery cluster, therefore protecting and monitoring the battery cluster becomes a key priority. These aerosol systems are usually installed above the battery cluster cabinet as it serves more efficiently in protecting those battery packs.
Large Capacity Aerosol Systems For Lithium Battery Containers
Aerosol systems that exceed 250 grams are highly recommended for the protection of lithium battery containers. Lithium battery containers require the installation of fire detection systems as well as fire suppression systems. These containers require large capacity aerosol fire suppression systems which are recommended to be installed either in the corner of the container or near the door of the container.
The Suitability Of Aerosol Fire Suppression For Energy Storage Systems
Aerosol Fire Suppression is considered highly suitable for energy storage systems based on their size, easy installation, as well as the physical and chemical properties of these systems. FirePro Fire Suppression Systems have the following characteristics, making it the ultimate choice for fire protection:
- FirePro extinguishing agents are non-toxic, residue free, and corrosion free.
- Does not damage lithium battery components.
- FirePro’s detection system is highly sensitive which results in detecting and extinguishing fires at an early stage.
- FirePro suppression systems are resistant to high temperatures allowing installations in harsh environments and temperatures.
- FirePro fire suppression systems have a lifespan of 15 years, eliminating the need for frequent replacements.
Based on the above listed characteristics it is safe to say that FirePro Aerosol Suppression Systems is the key to eliminating lithium-ion battery fires. It is no secret that lithium-ion battery fire protection is an extreme challenge considering majority of fire extinguishing systems have zero effect on lithium-ion battery fires. FirePro has become a game-changer in the energy storage industry.
