Thermal Runaway Fires
Lithium-Ion Batteries Burning
Solar is here to stay but are we ready for the risks involved with Lithium- Ion Fires?
Better known in the industry as a Thermal Runaway . C4 Fire and security has a gas suppression system that is specially designed to extinguish these fires.
Thermal runaway occurs when the separator breaks down, resulting to an aggressive exothermic reaction due to gasification of the electrolyte. Can lead to serious fires, explosions and propagation between Lithium-Ion cells.
Potential causes – Overcharging, Aging, Short Circuit, Physical Damage, Shocks, etc.
C4 Fire and Security has the proper training and solution to install a solution to these problems.
In Summary
- Lithium-Ion batteries pose fire risks because of the high amount of energy stored in their cells.
- The intensity of the fire is significantly higher than the energy stored in the batteries.
- Mechanical damage, electric defects, abuse charging or high ambient temperature are some of the reasons causing battery thermal runaway.
- FirePro effectiveness in suppressing and controlling Lithium-Ion battery fires, has been put to the test many times and is confirmed.
- Thermal runaway causes the overheating of the battery, leading to the release of gases, vapours and smoke followed by potent fires and occasionally explosions.
- Lithium-Ion batteries vary in terms of construction materials, chemistry, and configuration. They also vary in terms of behavior in a thermal-runaway scenario.
C4 Fire & Security can also offer you fire extinguishers especially designed to deal with a lithium ion fire in a smaller environment.
AVD IS A REVOLUTIONARY NEW FIRE EXTINGUISHING AGENT SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERY FIRES.
It is environmentally friendly and is made from the naturally occurring mineral vermiculite. AVD offers superior performance to both control and extinguish flammable lithium-ion battery fires. AVD’s enhanced fire extinguishing properties, when compared with conventional extinguishing products, make it the only fire extinguishing agent you should consider for lithium-ion battery fires. AVD is applied in the form of a mist. The vermiculite particles within the mist are deposited on the surface of the burning fuel to create a film over the top of the fire. This film instantly dries and because of their high aspect ratio the platelet particles overlap and bind together, producing a non
flammable oxygen barrier between the fire and the atmosphere. AVD high performance Lith-Ex extinguishers are designed to target high risk fires of a limited size. They are suited to confined spaces such as homes, hotel rooms, vehicles, public transport, aviation, marine or leisure and dedicated processes, where in all instances fires need to be suppressed in their infancy before developing into a fully established fire.
