Working principle of energy storage gas fire extinguishing system

How does a rack mounted fire extinguishing system work?

The rack mounted fire extinguishing system adopts the thermo bulb and electric startup mode. When the temperature inside the cabinet is higher than the temperature of the thermo bulb for a certain period of time, the thermo bulb breaks to start the rack mounted fire extinguishing system.

How do ESS fire protection systems work?

While these layers of protection help prevent damage to the system, they can also block water from accessing the seat of the fire. So, large amounts of water are needed to effectively combat the heat generated from ESS fires, and cooling the hottest part of the fire is often difficult.

Can a thermo bulb start a rack mounted fire extinguishing system?

The thermo bulb can also work normally during electric startup. When a fire occurs, the thermo bulb can start the rack mounted fire extinguishing system even if the electric startup mode fails. This ensures that the rack mounted fire extinguishing system can be started reliably. The appearance of the T/H sensor delivered onsite may vary.

How does a rack mounted fire suppression system work?

When the external fire suppression system detects a fire, it triggers the electric start signal of the rack mounted fire suppression system and opens the storage device of the extinguishant. The extinguishant is released through the nozzle to cool down and put out the fire. The thermo bulb can also work normally during electric startup.

What is fire safety in ESS?

One of the most important aspects of fire safety in ESS is mitigating risk of thermal runaway. So, the earlier in the failure of ESS you can intervene, the more likely you are to limit or remove thermal runaway. IFP has a unique and proprietary solution for ESS.

Why do ESS fires need a lot of water?

So, large amounts of water are needed to effectively combat the heat generated from ESS fires, and cooling the hottest part of the fire is often difficult. One of the top risks to ESS include accidental fire suppression system discharges.
