Aerosol Fire Extinguishing System for BESS
The risk of fire in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) has become ever greater with the growth of the sector and sustainable energy solutions in general. Firecom’s aerosol fire extinguishing system guarantees a fast and effective solution compared to traditional systems.
Benefits of Aerosol Fire Extinguishing Systems for BESS
Economical
The Firecom aerosol fire extinguishing system was created to offer maximum performance at reduced cost, thanks to its installation and usage characteristics.
Easy installation
Installing a Firecom fire extinguishing system requires minimal space and materials, and involves less system maintenance once complete. Pipework is not required to make the system operational, just simple electrical connections.
Aerosol fire extinguishing generators have a tested service life of 15 years and do not require extraordinary maintenance. Only a six-monthly visual inspection and check of the electrical components is recommended.
Safe and effective
It is not possible to extinguish a lithium-ion battery fire using normal extinguishing media or water-based fire suppression systems.
Firecom’s aerosol-based system acts on the gases released during the fire and does not reduce the level of oxygen, interrupting the combustion process in the chain reaction with the free radicals.
The Firecom system is environmentally sustainable and guarantees protection of people, without interrupting the company’s activity.
Causes of Fire in BESS
Overheating of lithium-ion batteries is one of the most common causes of fire in battery energy storage systems, and can be due to different factors: overloads, overdischarge, internal or external short circuits, or manufacturing defects. Moreover, overheating can be worsened by environmental conditions, such as high temperatures or poor ventilation. Short circuits can be caused by defects in the batteries or in the battery management systems (BMS), by mechanical damage, or human error during installation or maintenance of the systems.
The risks and dangers associated with fire in BESS affect both people and the surrounding environment. This is why it is necessary to have an effective and rapid fire suppression system which is able to guarantee the highest levels of protection.
