What is Stat-X® fire suppression?

Stat-X® highly-advanced condensed aerosol fire suppression for energy storage systems (ESS) and battery energy storage systems (BESS) applications.

What is Stat X ® condensed aerosol fire suppression?

Stat-X ® Condensed Aerosol Fire Suppression is a solution for energy storage systems (ESS) and battery energy storage systems (BESS) applications. What is a lithium battery?

Are large-scale battery energy storage systems preventing fires and explosions?

However, the rapid growth in large-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) is occurring without adequate attention to preventing fires and explosions. that by the end of 2023, 10,000 megawatts (MW) of BESS will be energizing U.S. electric grids—10 times the cumulative capacity installed in 2019.

What is a battery energy storage system (BESS)?

There has been a dramatic increase in the use of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the United States. These systems are used in residential, commercial, and utility scale applications. Most of these systems consist of multiple lithium-ion battery cells. A single battery cell (7 x 5 x 2 inches) can store 350 Whr of energy.

What are the ESS safety requirements for energy storage systems?

The International Fire Code (IFC) published its most robust ESS safety requirements in the most recent 2021 edition. By far the most dominant battery type installed in an energy storage system is lithium-ion, which brings with it particular fire risks.

Does Stat-X extinguish a battery fire?

In the event of a fire, Stat-X units automatically release ultra-fine particles and propellant inert gasses which effectively extinguish fires using less mass of agent than any other conventional extinguishing system. The Stat-X aerosol extinguishing product was tested for efficacy in suppressing Li-ion battery fires.
