6 FAQs about [Introduction to Energy Storage Fire Extinguishing System]
What should first responders know about energy storage systems?
This document provides guidance to first responders for incidents involving energy storage systems (ESS). The guidance is specific to ESS with lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, but some elements may apply to other technologies also. Hazards addressed include fire, explosion, arc flash, shock, and toxic chemicals.
Can foam extinguishing agent be used in energy storage station fire?
DNV GL did not recommend the use of foam extinguishing agent in the fire of energy storage stations because the battery module fire required rapid cooling to dissipate heat. Compared with water, foam had more difficulty penetrating the gap of battery packs and cooling the insides of batteries. 4.3.4. Liquid Nitrogen
Why do industrial companies need a fire extinguisher?
Statistics (GDV) show that in around 25% of all cases, electrical fires are the cause of major losses and the main cause of fires in industrial companies. These risks alone require both reliable detection and automatic extinguishing systems for safe operation.
What is the primary and secondary fire extinguishing mechanism?
The primary fire extinguishing mechanism included heat absorption and cooling, mainly aimed at cooling the flame, wetting the surface of burning objects and forming a barrier to isolate external oxygen. The secondary extinguishing mechanism was the thermal radiation barrier and dynamic disturbance of the flame.
What is an automatic fire extinguishing system?
Automatic extinguishing systems either extinguish or prevent incipient fires in order to protect objects, rooms or entire buildings from fires and their consequences. The extinguishing agents used for this purpose are liquid (water), two-phase (foam), solid (powder), gaseous (gases) or aerosols.
How effective are gaseous fire extinguishing agents?
As gas is 3-dimensional, gaseous extinguishing agents are highly effective in penetrating any void within the hazard. Gaseous fire extinguishing systems are a very effective way to protect critical hazards and high value assets, when it is important to have no collateral damage caused by the extinguishant or residues.
