Electrical Aerosol Fire Suppression System Battery Energy Storage Systems Support

Small Electrical Fire Suppression System For Energy Storage Systems And Battery Energy Storage Systems

Techncial parameters

Energy storage is emerging as an integral component to a resilient and efficient electrical grid. Fireless condensed aerosol fire suppression is a solution for energy storage systems (ESS) and battery energy storage systems (BESS) applications. This includes in-building, containerized, and in-cabinet applications.

What is an Energy Storage System?

• An ESS stores energy for later use to supply the utility grid or local grids
• The system collects from the grid, a solar installation, wind installation, or other source during a low demand time - typically during the day
• The ESS uses the stored energy during peak hours - typically in the mornings and evenings
• An ESS allows for utilities, homeowners, or building owners to balance the supply and demand of electrical energy

What is a lithium battery?

A lithium-ion battery or li-ion battery is a type of rechargeable battery in which lithium ions move from the negative electrode to the positive electrode during discharge and back when charging.

How do Li-ion Batteries Work?

• Charge / discharge through numerous cycles
• Positive ions transport across separator; electrons move externally across load
• Charging: lithium ions move from + to –
• Discharging: lithium ions move from – to +

Electrolyte is commonly a non-aqueous organic solvent - Flammable

Advantages of Fireless aerosol systems for lithium-ion battery hazards

• The hazard area does not have to be airtight. Calculations allow for un close able openings.
• Residual fireless aerosol in hazard area after discharge prevents re-flash typical with lithium ion battery fires.
• Fireless systems are bracket mounted within the hazard on the ceiling or walls taking no valuable floor space within the hazard
• There is no manifold or piping required reducing installation labor and material costs
• There is no cylinder weighing or hydro-static testing required.
• Ten (10) year service life
