LITHIUM-ION (LI-ION) BATTERY CABINET LOXXER 1100

The Loxxer storage and charging cabinet is designed for safe storage and charging of lithium-ion batteries, especially batteries for bicycles, scooters, hand tools, etc. The cabinet is equipped with a lithium ignition smoke detector. Ventilation and battery charging are automatically switched off immediately and the aerosol extinguishing system is activated. At the same time, an audible alarm is triggered and you receive alerts via SMS and mobile app. The entire system was tested and was able to keep the fire under control for 90 minutes.

CABINET EQUIPMENT:

CABINET FUNCTIONS:

• Continuous monitoring of parameters to ensure safe operation
• Hazard detection - smoke - fire
• Warning in case of danger
• Activation of the FirePro® extinguisher generator
• Storage of FirePro® extinguishing agent in the cabinet

System proactivity is essential to reduce or eliminate hazards when storing and charging lithium-ion batteries. In practice, various situations arise that threaten the safe operation of the cabinet and its functionality in the event of an acute lithium-ion battery fire. A classification has been developed for these situations with different types of audio-visual warnings and related measures.

• Cabinet open for more than 5 minutes
• Power failure
• Error in system monitoring
• Temperature > 55 °C
• FirePro® activation; red light and audible signal

AEROSOL FUNCTION OF FIREPRO®:

FirePro works exclusively with the aerosol fire extinguishing system. This does not release water, but a gas composed of various elements.

Fire is a rapid sequence of chemical and physical reactions between atoms and molecules (free radicals).When the aerosol developed by FirePro is released during a fire, it very quickly prevents the free radicals from binding to each other. The system ensures that oxygen and fuel can no longer mix.As a result, the fire cannot spread further, no dangerous lithium-ion gases are produced and there is no risk of explosion.Due to the rapid development of a lithium-ion fire, the FirePro extinguishing system is equipped with very fast fire detection. This activates the extinguishing system before the fire has fully spread.

The FirePro fire suppression and extinguishing system is one of a kind, highly effective and minimizes consequential damage. The aerosol released during the active extinguishing phase is harmless to humans, the environment and stored equipment.
