Lithium-ion batteries are now used across a wide range of industries, from electric vehicles and solar energy storage to data centers, telecom, manufacturing, and industrial facilities. As battery installations become larger and more powerful, fire safety has become an important part of their design.
A battery fire can develop quickly, especially when thermal runaway occurs. Excessive heat, internal damage, electrical faults, or cell failure can cause one battery cell to affect nearby cells. This is why battery facilities need more than a conventional fire alarm.
A well-designed lithium battery fire suppression system brings together early detection, monitoring, alarms, and fire suppression according to the actual risks of the installation.
Fire Protection for Lithium Battery & BESS Applications
We provide fire protection solutions for applications such as:
- Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
- Energy Storage Systems (ESS)
- Lithium-ion battery rooms
- Battery cabinets and containers
- EV battery manufacturing facilities
- EV charging infrastructure
- UPS and telecom battery rooms
- Solar battery storage
- Data centers
- Battery warehouses
- Battery recycling facilities
- Industrial battery installations
Depending on the application, the system may include smoke detection, heat detection, thermal monitoring, off-gas detection, battery monitoring, fire detection and suppression equipment.
Thermal Runaway Detection & Battery Fire Safety
Thermal runaway is one of the major concerns with lithium-ion batteries. Detecting abnormal conditions at an early stage can provide valuable time to raise an alarm and take appropriate action.
Our approach can include thermal runaway detection, early smoke detection, off-gas detection and battery monitoring, along with suitable fire suppression technology.
The exact system should be selected after considering the battery chemistry, enclosure or room configuration, energy capacity, ventilation, equipment layout and overall fire risk.
BESS & Energy Storage Fire Protection
Large battery energy storage installations require careful consideration of fire detection and suppression. A BESS fire protection system can be designed around the individual project, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all arrangement.
We support projects with fire suppression system design, supply, installation, testing, commissioning, inspection and maintenance.
Complete Fire Suppression Services
Our fire protection work is not limited to lithium batteries. We also provide solutions for server rooms, data centers, electrical rooms, UPS rooms, warehouses, factories, CNC machines, generators, transformers, kitchens, laboratories and other critical areas.
Our services include:
- Fire Suppression System Design
- System Supply
- Installation
- Testing
- Commissioning
- Inspection
- Preventive Maintenance
- Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC)
- System Retrofit and Upgrades
Choosing the Right Battery Fire Protection System
The right fire suppression system depends on the equipment being protected and the risks involved. Factors such as battery chemistry, energy capacity, enclosure design, room configuration, ventilation and equipment layout should be considered before selecting a solution.
Our team can assess the application and recommend a suitable battery fire protection or fire suppression solution based on the project requirements.
