6 FAQs about [Energy storage fire sprinkler system]
How do sprinkler systems protect ESS?
Sprinkler systems are the preferred method for protecting ESS due to their superior cooling capabilities, low cost, human safety, and environmental friendliness. While the rack frame may obstruct direct water flow to the cells, sprinklers can still effectively prevent a fire from spreading to adjacent racks.
Is sprinkler protection sufficient for ESS in commercial occupancies?
These recent efforts provide confidence that sprinkler protection can be sufficient for ESS in commercial occupancies. However, there are limited real-scale data available to support a fire hazard assessment of Li-ion based ESS and there are no experimental data to support sprinkler protection guidance. (e.g., battery, module).
Are ESS batteries good for sprinkler protection?
A series of small- to large-scale free burn fire tests were conducted on ESS comprised of either iron phosphate (LFP) or nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) batteries. Coupled with large-scale sprinklered fire tests, the performance of sprinkler protection common to commercial facilities where ESS are being installed was evaluated.
Should ESS racks be separated as combustibles if sprinkler protection is not provided?
For ESS comprised of multiple racks, each individual LFP or NMC rack should be separated as combustibles per Table 7-2 when sprinkler protection is not provided. Refer to Section 7.1.2 for additional guidance when sprinkler protection is provided.
What is the minimum sprinkler density required for ESS?
According to a June 2019 research report titled “Development of Sprinkler Protection Guidance for Lithium-Ion Based Energy Storage Systems” by FM Global, the minimum sprinkler density required for ESS is 12.2 liters per minute per square meter (Lpm/m 2), or 0.3 gallons per minute per square foot (gpm/ft 2), for both LFP and NMC batteries.
Do ESS sprinkler systems need a cooling system?
Without adequate cooling, batteries can reignite, even after the initial fire is suppressed. For this reason, both FM DS 5-33 and NFPA 855 mandate the use of automatic sprinkler systems for ESS fire suppression.
