Delft University of Technology, or simply TU Delft, is one of Europe’s largest public universities of its kind. TU Delft dates back to 1842 when King Willem II of the Netherlands founded the Royal Academy to train engineers and civil servants. It is one of the most reputable and consistently Top 20 ranking universities worldwide for engineering and technology.
Cell damage and thermal runaway on Lithium-based batteries can certainly generate fire and possibly explosion. The NFPA’s latest effort to explore such fire hazards is a concrete indication of the level of fire risk associated with this relatively new technology. An LIB associated fire incident can involve various classes of fire and can also initiate powerful chain reactions including the release of toxic fumes. Under this catastrophic scenario, equipment will be burned, environmental pollution will follow and lives will be threatened.
Technology, performance and safety characteristics pertaining to LIBs are constantly evolving. Nonetheless, studies in 2018 demonstrate that LIBs can pose a fire hazard. Consequently, as demand for LIBs across industries grows, so will the fire incidents related to the technology. TU Delft operates a special container for storing and transporting LIBs. The development of a suitable fire suppression system for this particular enclosure is a must.
FirePro’s modularity, compactness and autonomy are ideal for this new and innovative application. Compliance to legislation according to primary research is also a vital key to commercialization. FirePro is currently the only fire suppression technology that possesses a declaration from the EU’s KIWA NV, confirming its effectiveness in suppressing LIB related fires. FirePro’s technology is also accompanied by the most respected industry certifications and backed by a vast experience in industrial applications.
FirePro Benelux researched, designed and delivered a solution based on KIWA guidelines and protocols. The specialised containers offer an innovative engineering design that documents the installation and maintenance of the FirePro Systems. The systems can protect intermodal and other containers and enclosures from LIB related fire incidents. These LIB Containers are an innovative solution to the industry worldwide.
