Li-ion battery fires – is water mist the solution? 🔋🔥💦 Suppressing Li-ion battery fires poses a unique challenge due to the varying mixture of combustible solids, liquids, and gases involved, depending on the battery's chemistry. Marioff HI-FOG® technology offers an effective solution... ✅ For further information, please see the Marioff article below⬇️ #marioff #hifog #battery #lithium #batteryfireprotection #instac

Safe, effective, no piping, manifold, or nozzles. Did you know the aerosol units are non-pressurized when in standby condition? Yep, no hydro testing or risk of leaking tanks or cylinders. No heavy lifting reduces risk of employee injury as well. And with a 15 year service life you can have ready spares to get your system back up in service after the fire is out. No sending off tanks and cylinders to be refilled and recharged. #StatX #AerosolFireSuppression #GeneratorFireSuppression

Protecting industrial facilities by heat tracing and insulation audits is critical. Losses from power disruptions can be devastating to businesses and summer is the perfect time to conduct an audit. #insulation https://lnkd.in/eMFfVfSb

#Bess Explosion control. 👉NFPA 855 requires explosion control measures in the form of deflagration venting (NFPA 68) or explosion prevention (NFPA 69), including cabinet-style BESS enclosures

How do you put out a Solar Panel fire? Putting out a fire involving solar panels can be challenging due to the electrical components involved. Here are some general steps to follow: Safety first: Ensure everyone stays a safe distance away from the fire and call emergency services immediately. Shut off power: If it's safe to do so, cut off the power supply to the solar panels. This can help prevent further electrical hazards. Use a Class C fire extinguisher: Solar panel fires are considered Class C fires, which involve electrical equipment. Use a fire extinguisher rated for electrical fires if available. Do not use water: Avoid using water to extinguish the fire, as it can conduct electricity and pose additional hazards. Use a dry chemical extinguisher: If a Class C fire extinguisher is not available, a dry chemical extinguisher can also be effective in smothering the flames. Evacuate the area: If the fire cannot be quickly and safely controlled, evacuate the area and wait for firefighters to arrive. Remember, safety is paramount when dealing with fires involving electrical equipment like solar panels. Always prioritize the well-being of yourself and others. #BESS #Solar #Solar panels #PV Systems #Safety #Energy #Electric #Fires #Electrical #Worldwide

For large stationary applications aqueous redox-flow-batteries are more appropriate. Their lesser energy density are compensated by using more vertical space.

Rope leak detection has never been simpler or more cost effective! Deploy under your liquid cooling or raised floors, around CRAC units or HVAC systems, and anywhere else conductive fluids shouldn't be for instant alerting of a leak to the foot. #DataCenter #LiquidCooling #LeakDetection #DataCenterInfrastructure
