Specific Recommendations: 1. The main cause of racking collapse is when they are struck by a forklift truck whilst ''cutting'' a corner. To prevent this exposure the corners of each rack should be protected by a strong metal or concrete bollard. This will prevent the forklift truck from being able to hit the racking.
The FDA241 detects lithium-ion electrolyte vapor (also known as lithium-ion ''off-gas'' particles) early and reliably thanks to its patented dual-wavelength optical detection technology. The FDA241 is the ideal solution for early detection of electrical fires. In addition to controlling the automated extinguishing system, the fire protection ...

Production. Fire protection solutions from WAGNER can be used in the production of lithium-ion batteries, especially in the production step of formatting / formation (initial charging and discharging processes of the battery cell) and in aging (final step of cell production with the aim of identifying cell-internal short circuits).
Effective in handling deep seated fire and the extinguishing agent itself is not dangerous to persons. It is a total flooding system with a N2 design concentration of 45.2%. Hence oxygen concentration remains below 11.3% or less depending on battery type. The Sinorix N2 can reach more than 20 minutes of holding time.
