Lithium-ion cells consist of a cathode (lithium cobalt oxide, lithium iron phosphate or lithium manganese oxide and lithium nickel manganese cobalt as positive electrodes) and anode (negative electrode: Porous carbon), and graphite is the most commonly used.

Today, due to the rapidly increasing number of electric vehicles, fire brigade groups also feel helpless in lithium battery fires. Lithium batteries cannot be extinguished with water, gas or dust, foam. We recommend the gel-like extinguishing agent “SB 1500 Plus”, which is known as a special extinguishing agent, but is the most effective and insulating agent among non-certified and non-conductive candidates. With different tests carried out by us, we are used in both portable and low and high pressure automatic and manual fire extinguishing systems. Our company installs AUTOMATIC LITHIUM BATTERIES EXTINGUISHING SYSTEMS in vehicles or facilities with design, engineering calculations, production and manufacturing-assembly.

Since the design rules and test methods of Lithium Batteries have not been determined in the world and in the European Union, efficiency and most suitable nozzle tests have been continuing for 2 years instead of the tests that will be the basis of the certificate. In the tests carried out with the participation of IMM Fire Brigade groups, the burning lithium batteries were successfully extinguished, the lithium battery storage areas were protected with automatic systems, and the many battery slots at the top of the buses were extinguished.

Our engineering department has produced design criteria and with the results it provides, nozzle types and K factors have been determined.
