In the BESS application each sample pipe extends from the FDA detector to monitor specific areas of interest. It is key to mount the pipe/sample holes where the smoke and off-gas particles will appear. This is largely dependent on battery enclosure geometry and HVAC. .
detectors can be several hundred times more sensitive than traditional point type smoke detectors. The Siemens Aspirated Off-Gas Particle detector presented uses a patented optical dual. .
A patented smoke and particle detection technology which excels at smoke and lithium-ion battery off-gas detection. .
Using a unique aspirator, a portion of air is drawn into the sample pipe network which mounted on the lithium-ion battery racks and passed into a. The storage should be equipped with fire control and extinguishing devices, with a smoke or radiation energy detection system. Fire detection systems protecting the storage should have additional power supply capable of 24h standby operation and 2h alarm operation. [pdf]
