Technical FAQs 4

What is the new battery storage guideline?

The new guideline sets a clear standard for how battery storage systems should be installed to minimize the risk of fires and other incidents. The guideline is specifically designed to provide practical guidance for the installation of batteries in both commercial and residential buildings, as well as in free-standing outdoor structures.

Which sprinkler system should be used in lithium-ion battery warehouse?

Therefore, for a LIB warehouse that mainly stores batteries with high SOC, the general sprinkler could not achieve effective cooling and fire extinguishing effect; so, the automatic water sprinkler system with a quick-response sprinkler should be selected. 4.3. Fire protection design of shelf spacing in lithium-ion battery warehouse 4.3.1.

Does lithium-ion battery warehouse have a fire propagation behavior?

The fire propagation behavior of lithium-ion battery warehouse was studied. The SOC value of stored lithium-ion batteries should be as small as possible. When storing 70%–100% SOC batteries, a quick-response sprinkler shall be set. To prevent the spread of fire, a critical value of shelf spacing is defined.

What are the key variables of fire protection in a Lib warehouse?

Based on the idea of modeling presented in the aforementioned study and the results of field investigation on a warehouse of a LIB factory, this paper intends to use numerical simulation to analyze the key variables of fire protection in a LIB warehouse in Nanjing, China, such as battery SOC, shelf spacing, and automatic fire extinguishing system.
