Energy storage suppression fire extinguishing system

What is Stat-X® fire suppression?

Stat-X® highly-advanced condensed aerosol fire suppression for energy storage systems (ESS) and battery energy storage systems (BESS) applications.

What is Stat X ® condensed aerosol fire suppression?

Stat-X ® Condensed Aerosol Fire Suppression is a solution for energy storage systems (ESS) and battery energy storage systems (BESS) applications. What is a lithium battery?

Does Stat-X extinguish a battery fire?

In the event of a fire, Stat-X units automatically release ultra-fine particles and propellant inert gasses which effectively extinguish fires using less mass of agent than any other conventional extinguishing system. The Stat-X aerosol extinguishing product was tested for efficacy in suppressing Li-ion battery fires.

What is a gaseous suppression system?

Gaseous Suppression System. Common agents used in gaseous suppression systems for ESS include inert gases and FK-5-1-12 (NOVEC 1230). Inert gases function by lowering the oxygen concentration to suffocate the fire and are environmentally friendly. In contrast, FK-5-1-12 interrupts the fire’s chemical reaction rapidly.

Can Stat-X aerosol fire suppression system prevent a battery fire?

The following conclusions can be made from testing of Stat-X aerosol fire suppression system. Stat-X can put out a Li-ion battery fire. Residual Stat-X aerosol in the hazard will prevent a re-flash of the fire. Stat-X can reduce oxygen in an enclosed environment during a battery fire.

What are the standards for ESS fire suppression systems?

Two commonly referenced standards for ESS fire suppression systems are FM Global Data Sheet (FM DS) 5-33 and NFPA 855. In the event of thermal runaway, it is essential to rapidly cool the affected module and its surroundings to prevent a chain reaction of battery fires.
