FIREFIGHTING TECHNOLOGY FOR EV BATTERY FIRES
The new Rosenbauer Battery Extinguishing System Technology (BEST) is a patented system specifically designed for safe, efficient, and fast extinguishing of lithium-ion, high-voltage batteries in electric vehicles. The piercing nozzle directly injects water into battery modules to rapidly cool ‘thermal runaway’ fires.
BATTERY EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY (BEST)
EV vehicles behave much differently than vehicles with conventional drive systems in many ways such as in event of an accident, faulty charging, etc. The Rosenbauer BEST is able to penetrate the battery housing no matter the material type or thickness. The objective is to cool the battery modules as quickly as possible to stop the fire at its source.
- The extinguishing unit is positioned underneath the electric vehicle. Alternatively, it may be secured to the vehicle or other access points when necessary.
- The operating unit triggers the piercing nozzle to penetrate the battery housing at a safe distance from the fire. Immediately after penetration, the battery housing is flooded with extinguishing water.
