Engineered Beyond Conventional Fire Protection Systems
Conventional Systems Depend On:
- Airtight enclosure integrity
- Gas concentration retention
- Surface-level suppression only
- Extinguishing Flames Only: FAIL
- Incapable of controlling lithium-ion thermal runaway at cell level
Gas and aerosol systems are designed to suppress flames — not to stop thermal runaway propagation. They do not solve thermal runaway problems.
EQUINOX Performs Where Others Fail:
- Effective in open and ventilated environments
- Controls deep-seated battery fires at source
- Acts during active lithium-ion thermal runaway
- Interrupts cell-to-cell propagation through active cooling and encapsulation
Delivers control without reliance on enclosure integrity or gas containment.
