The ANSUL Lithium-Ion Risk Prevention System actively monitors lithium-ion batteries within the energy storage market. It provides early warning detection of off-gases/toxic vapors, signaling malfunctions within the battery cell. In fact, this proactive approach allows prompt action to be taken, helping prevent the occurrence of thermal runaway. As a result, Thermal runaway can cause the failure of a single cell to propagate, creating a domino effect into adjacent cells, resulting in a catastrophic event.
ANSUL Lithium-Ion Risk Prevention System is well suited to energy storage where Lithium-ion batteries are used.
The ANSUL Lithium-Ion Risk Prevention System – when combined with AUTOPULSE fire detection panels, ANSUL® INERGEN® Fire Suppression Systems or SAPPHIRE® Suppression Systems – identifies lithium-ion batteries that have off-gassed and provides the ability to help suppress fires by proactively activating alarms and releasing the fire suppression system.
Application
The system with a connected releasing panel and suppression system is particularly useful for early detection and suppression of fires in hazards where lithium-ion batteries are in use. Accordingly, typical applications include lithium-ion energy storage systems, lithium-ion battery test chambers and lithium-ion battery assembly rooms.
