DNV GL Fire Testing Toxic gasses: HCl, HF, HCN, CO The average emission rate of a battery fire is lower than a plastics fire However, the peak emission rate (e.g. at thermal runaway) is higher than a plastics fire Peak battery temperature 400-800 C 23
First Responders Recommendations by DNV GL First responders need not open or disperse burned battery modules, but wait for an experienced liaison to arrive on site and take ownership of the site after extinguishing has been achieved After extinguishing, continued ventilation and monitoring of the area with gas monitors is highly recommended toxicity is a bigger risk than flammability Batteries may have residual voltage on damaged and exposed terminals shock hazard Batteries persistently gassed, even under water primarily measured CO (but the CO sensors are cross-sensitive to H 2 ) For most tests the water runoff was slightly acidic, measuring ph 6-7 Equipment available to present day first responders can be considered adequate for battery fire fighting under the conditions tested 24
Recommendations by DNV GL DNV GL recommends that systems undergo a risk analysis, with particular attention paid to: Cascading/propagation protections between cells and modules Clearances to structures above and around the energy storage systems Fire rating of the enclosure Most probable expected failure mode, effects and countermeasures System design: Prevent propagation of overheating/fire (cell module system) Gas-based suppression system inside the container/housing Fire fighting with water at major fire 25
