Energy storage systems (ESS) are designed to store and release energy on demand.
While they have many benefits, they can also pose a fire risk if not properly designed, installed, and maintained. Therefore, fire protection is an important consideration when it comes to energy storage systems.
ONE SYSTEM TO PROTECT ALL THE CONTAINERS
(smoke detector)
Argon gas extinguishing
In the first stage, in the first phase, there is an alarm via smoke detectors.
This detection activates the Argon gas extinguishing system. In this way there is a prior deprivation of oxygen inside the container, removing the strength of the fire and avoiding explosions.
Argon gas is very effective and does not generate toxic fumes with the mixture of components from a battery fire.
(Spy thermo-pneumatic detectors)
Liquid and gas extinguishing
In the second stage, if an anomalous temperature is detected, the system starts the second fire extinguishing phase.
The special extinguishing agent Tiborex Absolute is driven into the container in which the SPY temperature detector was triggered.
Mixed with the propellant Argon, there is a 10x greater cooling effect than water and a drastic reduction of the oxygen inside the container. We have hereby the best formula for extinguishing a fire.
For aftermath and safe action from the fire brigades
In the third stage, an aftermath is considered. The container keeps the oxygen levels low for some time. In combination with Tiborex, it is ensured that there are no re-ignitions.
When the fire brigade arrives, they can connect their water hoses to the container and reduce the levels of noxious gases and oxygen with an extra Argon bottle.
In this way, they can safely follow up to the stage of opening the container door, without any danger of explosion or fire from the sudden influx of oxygen.
T-REX allows multiple containers to be connected to a single system, enabling smart and scalable fire protection. Since every fire has a specific point of origin, T-REX delivers the extinguishing agent directly and exclusively to the affected area—nowhere else.
This precision targeting means:
✅ Less waste of extinguishing agent
✅ Faster response
✅ More extinguishing power exactly where it’s needed most
Key Benefits:
Fewer components = lower maintenance & cost
Fully pneumatic system – requires no external energy
Zero pressure in the piping – safe and reliable by design
Plug & Play Solution — Quick installation with no complex setup required.
Easily Transportable — Compact and lightweight for hassle-free relocation.
Robust Protection — Built to guard equipment against wildlife interference and vandalism.
Weatherproof Design — Reliable performance in all weather conditions.
Optional Temperature Control — Maintain optimal internal temperatures for enhanced system reliability.
✅ No Electricity Required
T-REX operates entirely without electrical power – perfect for critical and remote applications.
✅ Robust Stainless Steel Construction
Built to last with high-grade stainless steel and top-quality industrial fittings for maximum durability and reliability.
✅ No Pressure – No Risk
Both the piping and the extinguishing agent tank remain unpressurized under normal conditions, enhancing system safety and simplifying installation.
✅ Long-Lasting Performance
Uses Tiborex Absolute, a liquid extinguishing agent that does not expire – ensuring long-term readiness with minimal maintenance.
✅ Patented Thermo-Pneumatic Detection System
The system monitors temperature rise through a fully mechanical detection line. When a critical temperature is reached, the patented mechanism triggers the agent tank, directing Tiborex precisely to the affected container, with zero delay.
Tiborex Absolute – Advanced Liquid Extinguishing Agent
Tiborex Absolute is a high-performance liquid agent designed for rapid, targeted fire suppression—especially in high-risk environments like lithium-ion battery storage.
Powerful Cooling Effect
Cools up to 10× more effectively than water, halting thermal runaway and preventing fire spread.
Stable and Reliable
Maintains its chemical integrity over time – no degradation during storage.
Superior Penetration
Ultra-fine spray ensures deep and even coverage, reaching critical hotspots within enclosed or dense spaces.
Minimizes Re-Ignition Risk
Quickly cools the source and smothers flames, significantly reducing the chances of reignition.
Enhanced Oxygen Suppression
Mixed with Argon propellant for an intensified suffocating effect, cutting off oxygen at the fire origin.
Seamless Integration with Fire Brigade Systems
T-REX easily connects to standard local fire brigade fittings, such as Storz connectors.
In case of emergency, the fire brigade can flood the container with water, which T-REX then channels through its own dedicated piping system. This allows effective firefighting without requiring firefighters to enter hazardous areas, enhancing safety and response efficiency.
