Lithium Ion Battery Rack Monitoring & Fire Suppression System
LI-ION TAMER by Equipro Ltd
Li-ion Tamer monitors Li-ion batteries for the first wisps of "off gases" generated in failing li-ion cell prior to thermal runaway. If it detects thermal runaway signature gases it activates as a fire detector enabling fast intervention to prevent a rapid high energy fire developing BEFORE thermal runaway occurs. For enclosures up to 32cbm Equipro offers Li-ion Tamer to activate the Equipro N2G Zero-Cylinder IG-100 Inert Gas System as a measure to force ventilate flammable gases from the enclosure to help prevent ignition and continue to inert the enclosure helping to prevent any fire spread and development.
Li-ion Tamer® is designed to provide enhanced safety for your battery systems and can be installed at a wide range of integration points throughout your design. Off-gas begins as gases that are generated inside individual cells due to exothermic reactions which begin to occur as a result of internal problems in the battery or external abuses. The release of these gases is the first stage of a battery failure which can self-propagate until the battery begins to smoke and go into fully developed thermal runaway. The ability to detect the gases provides a signal capable of providing early warning of the eventual cell failure and can enable actions which can help mitigate the effects of the battery failure. Li-ion Tamer® products are designed to detect and protect individual modules all the way to room level integrated solutions.
