Cooling tank
Fire extinguishing and cooling tanks for electric vehicle batteries are a modern and highly efficient solution for responding to lithium battery fires, which are among the most risky types of fires. These batteries have a tendency to re-ignite even after initial extinguishment, so it is crucial to ensure their long-term and intensive cooling.
HOW DOES THE EXTINGUISHING (COOLING) TANK WORK ON ELECTRIC CARS?
The principle of the tank is to partially flood the vehicle or the traction battery directly with a large amount of water. This rapidly lowers the temperature, slows or completely stops the heat leak and the spread of the fire.
WHY DO ELECTRIC VEHICLE BATTERIES NEED TO BE COOLED FOR A LONG TIME?
Lithium batteries have a tendency to re-ignite even after initial extinguishment. Long-term cooling significantly reduces the risk of re-ignition and increases the safety of the intervention.
IS IT ALWAYS NECESSARY TO IMMERSE THE VEHICLE IN WATER?
No. In most cases, a partial flooding targeting the battery area is sufficient to ensure effective cooling and temperature control.
HOW QUICKLY CAN THE TANK BE DEPLOYED DURING A RESPONSE?
The tanks are modular and designed for very fast assembly on site or in operation. They allow for immediate response without complex preparation.
WHAT MATERIAL ARE THE TANKS MADE OF?
The tanks are made of highly durable ABS polymer material with a robust construction that withstands mechanical stresses and extreme conditions during intervention.
CAN THE TANK BE USED FOR LONG-TERM SHUTDOWN OF A HAZARDOUS VEHICLE?
Yes. Due to the high water capacity, the tank creates a stable cooling environment suitable for long-term monitoring of a vehicle with a damaged or overheating battery.
WHAT IS A QUARANTINE COOLING TANK AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
The quarantine tank is designed for the safe parking of electric vehicles in garages, logistics centres and other facilities. The vehicle normally sits dry in it and in case of risk the tank can be filled with water immediately.
CAN THE QUARANTINE SITE BE MADE EVEN MORE SECURE?
Yes. The quarantine area can be supplemented with a fire-extinguishing tarpaulin to limit the spread of flames, smoke and radiant heat to the surrounding area.
WHO USES THE TANKS MOST OFTEN?
The tanks are primarily used by fire and rescue services, but also by industrial, logistics and service facilities, charging stations, underground garages and other places where electric vehicles or battery systems are present.
WHAT ARE THE MAIN ADVANTAGES OF THIS SOLUTION?
Fire extinguishing and cooling tanks are an effective, flexible and safe way to manage EV battery fire emergencies and minimize risks to people and the surrounding environment.
