Fire Queen Limited can supply fire extinguishers for tackling Lithium-Ion battery fires. These high performance Lith-Ex fire extinguishers contain AVD (Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion) compound – a revolutionary fire extinguishing agent & are designed to target high risk fires of a limited size.
Lithium-ion battery technology has become a standard solution in this application due to its technical performance. However, its unique fire hazard is a concern in the industry, increasing the need for dedicated lithium-ion battery fire suppression solutions.
Learn how Fike protects lithium ion batteries and energy storage systems from devestating fires through the use of gas detection, water mist and chemical agents.
The Lithium Battery Blanket is mainly designed for battery fires where there is a risk of thermal runaway to contain the fire, but will also reduce damage & help prevent the escape of toxic fumes; this could be vital for safe evacuation of a premises where Lithium Batteries are in communal areas or storage.
Thermal runaway – regardless of how it has been initiated – is the major fire risk related to lithium-ion batteries. Battery manufacturers concentrate a lot of effort in preventing thermal runaway from occurring, but – despite all safety measures – it may still happen.
Thermal runaway in lithium batteries results in an uncontrollable rise in temperature and propagation of extreme fire hazards within a battery energy storage system (BESS). It was once thought to be impossible to stop a cascading thermal runaway event, until now with Fike Blue™.
