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.
Various containers can be connected to the same system.
A fire always has a precise point of origin.
The fire location is the only place where the extinguishing agent is addressed.
By doing this, the extinguishing agent is effectively directed
exclusively in the necessary areas.
= increased amount of extinguishing agent at the fire spot!
