Integrated fire protection for batteries

In our technological society, the use of high-performance batteries has become indispensable and their importance will continue to increase in view of the changing concepts of mobility. At the same time, fire protection requirements in battery technology are constantly increasing. Whether during production, storage, transportation, use or recycling of batteries, adequate fire protection measures are essential for the safe use of high-voltage power systems. As one of the leading manufacturers of innovative fire protection products for industrial applications, we can look back on more than 50 years of research and development experience. Not only do we have our own fire ovens, but thanks to a newly developed battery fire simulation, we can also guarantee the safety and speed of material testing. Together with you, we will develop the right solution for your application.

Proprietary Testing Capabilities: Batteries Tested

To protect the battery case and the environment from the immense stresses that a battery fire can cause, a variety of materials are used. These materials must withstand extreme temperatures, as well as pressure changes and particle bombardment. Our patented testing process allows us to test materials quickly, easily and cost-effectively.
The test allows us to simulate the stresses acting on the casing during a battery fire and offer our customers optimal support in their subsequent selection of materials. The duration of the actual tension, the maximum temperature and the particle size required for particle bombardment can be adjusted as needed. The distance and angle between the test tube and the particle exit opening can also be adjusted according to your specifications. In this way, all relevant parameters can be varied as required, precisely, flexibly and quickly.

Market Requirements and Developments

Much of the growing demand for batteries is due to the transformation of electromobility, driven mainly by the automotive industry. However, rail transport and hobby equipment such as e-bikes also account for a growing share of growing demand. Alongside the field of electromobility, sectors such as energy storage systems (ESS) and consumer goods will also see demand for battery systems increase. svt offers different fire protection solutions to satisfy this need.
