FOGTEC systems discharge pure water at high pressure via special nozzles to create a fine water mist. FOGTEC systems are protecting thousands of fire risks in buildings and different industries including Li-Ion battery applications all over the globe.

High Pressure Water Mist for BESS:
High pressure water mist is particularly suitable for fighting battery fires due to its high cooling effect. The spread of fire is controlled by cooling. No pre-warning time is required, firefighting can be started without any delay. Smoke and flammable gases released during battery fires can be ventilated out while the high pressure water mist fights the fire and cools the enclosure. There is no need for a sealed room at any time. This prevents the accumulation of explosive gases. Therefore, the risk of explosions is minimized.

Detection, ventilation and explosion prevention:
During the early phase of a malfunction of a battery cell already smallest amounts of off-gases are generated. To detect these, highly sensitive FOGTEC sensors are used. A signal from the FOGTEC controller to the battery management system promptly shuts down all battery activities, to stop the warming up of the affected battery cell(s). At the same time, ventilation openings are automatically opened and / or mechanical ventilation is started to avoid the accumulation of explosive off-gases in the BESS. This significantly reduces the probability of an explosion. Information from the battery management system may be used to give additional information to the FOGTEC controller.
