Energy storage room 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?

How does a fire extinguisher work?

These systems typically employ inert gasses or clean agents that can pretty rapidly reduce oxygen levels around the fire or absorb heat to extinguish flames without leaving any harmful residues that could damage the battery system.

Are battery energy storage systems a fire hazard?

As the demand for renewable energy sources escalates, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) have become pivotal in stabilizing the electrical grid and ensuring a continuous power supply. However, the high-density energy stored in these systems poses significant fire risks, necessitating cutting-edge fire suppression solutions.

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 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.
