Operating risks - fire hazards - fire suppression

Lithium-ion batteries are used in a variety of applications: portable devices, stationary storage, and electric vehicles. However, a significant amount of stored energy always poses a risk, especially when it is released quickly.

Target audience

Engineers, energy technicians, and employees from research, development, and technical sales.

Main topics

Basic dangers of lithium batteries
Explanation of thermal runaway
Thermal runaway process, especially the release of gas and energy
Fire suppression options
Measures for increasing safety

Objectives

This seminar will explain the general risks and fire hazards associated with lithium-ion batteries.

Participants will receive an overview of the general electrical and technical risks, gas release, energy quantities in case of fire, and options for fire suppression. Collective options for increasing safety will also be determined.
