FiFi4Marine has designed an automatic extinguishing system which is able to control the fire quickly without damage to the building and other cars. Losing control of your safety on the platform is an absolute ‘no go’. Helicopter platforms are increasingly equipped with lithium battery-powered equipment.
As a key component of electric vehicles (EVs) or electronic devices, the transport of highly inflammable lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries is increasingly impacting shipping safety as demonstrated by a number of fires on vessels such as roll-on roll-off (ro-ro) car carriers and container ships.
A joint development project by industry-leading companies and DNV-GL, including the Norwegian Maritime Authority, ABB, Kongsberg, Damen, FiFi4Marine, Stena Line and the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment, has concluded that FiFi4Marine has the best heat-mitigating performance compared with all other methods tested for Li-Ion battery fires.
The application of a safe fire extinguishing system to ships is essential for the safety of passengers on board. A surprising but logical addition to the industries we already serve. Electric instead of diesel-powered engines are also used in mining. The safety of employees is also essential in this sector.
As part of this investigation, the FiFi4Marine (F4M) Li-Ion fire extinguishing system, a direct injection foam system, was tested and compared against the most commonly used conventional systems. The group concluded that direct injection of foam shows the best heat-mitigating performance compared with all other methods tested.
F4M’s system has been extensively tested by DNV-GL and is considered the only real direct-injection fire-extinguishing system. In addition, the F4M system is bio-degradable, fluor free, non-toxic, non-corrosive, requires little water and is completely stand-alone. It requires no emergency power and has a long operation time (over 3 hours).

Generally, it appears to be consensus that water is the best medium for extinguishing a battery fire but getting directly to the battery and the sheer amount of water needed is a challenge on-board as ship stability may be compromised. Furthermore, salt water has been reported to cause short circuits in EVs affected by flood water. Some ships ...

A new risk bulletin from AGCS: Lithium-ion batteries: Fire risks and loss prevention measures in shipping highlights four main hazards: fire (Li-ion batteries contain electrolyte, an ignitable liquid); explosion (resulting from the release of ignitable vapor/gases in a confined space); thermal runaway (a rapid self-heating fire that can cause ...
aspiration systems suitable for gas and smoke detection and fixed gas emission detectors depends on factors like placement, ventilation, service capacity, etc. An inert gas fire extinguishing system (AFES system) cannot prevent Thermal Runaway or extinguish the ensuing fire, as Thermal Runaway generates its own oxygen from gas emissions and ...
You can take preventative measures for fire-protected storage and safe charging of lithium batteries in order to prevent the fire from spreading in the event of a fire and gain valuable time until the fire brigade arrives. Fires and explosions of lithium batteries can not only cause expensive damage to property, but in the worst case can also endanger human life. Lithium …
The experimental results indicated that the agent could control lithium-titanium battery fire within 30 s, but continuous spray of the agent on the battery surface is necessary to prevent the fire from re-ignition. By contrast, HFC-227ea could more rapidly extinguish the battery fire in similar discharge rate of agent [58]. This is because the release dose of Novec 1230 has …
In collaboration with the Norwegian, Danish and US maritime authorities, battery manufacturers, system integrators, suppliers of fire extinguishing systems, shipyards and shipowners, DNV GL has released a new report on battery safety in ships. The report assesses explosion and fire risks in maritime
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used in electrochemical energy storage and in other fields. However, LIBs are prone to thermal runaway (TR) under abusive conditions, which may lead to fires and even explosion …
The F4M is a relatively new system and is the first on the market to effectively and safely extinguish a Li-Ion battery fire without causing great collateral damage. F4M''s system has been extensively tested by DNV-GL and is considered the only real direct-injection fire-extinguishing system.

Lithium battery aerosol fire extinguishing system ... Our lithium battery fire extinguishers come in many shapes, among which circular lithium battery fire extinguishers are the most popular style. Lithium-ion battery aerosols are produced according to the latest American standard for energy storage fire protection "NFPA855 Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage …
Fires in EVs with Li-ion batteries burn more ferociously, are very difficult to extinguish, and are capable of spontaneously reigniting hours or even days after they have been put out. Most …
Fires in EVs with Li-ion batteries burn more ferociously, are very difficult to extinguish, and are capable of spontaneously reigniting hours or even days after they have been put out. Most ships lack the suitable fire protection, firefighting capabilities, and detection systems to tackle fires at sea, which has been made more
We offer the most efficient and safe fire extinguishing system for the use of lithium-powered batteries. Tested and approved by DNV-GL, Lloyd''s Register and RINA with several Marine Plan Approval Certificates and completely harmless to the environment. We provide fire safety for various industries.

Considering that the lithium-ion battery fire also needs to extinguish the open fire quickly to prevent the fire from spreading, and the NOVEC1230 fire extinguishing agent has its own advantages in extinguishing the open fire. It''s reasonable to adopt the mixture agent recipe of NOVEC1230 and heptafluorocyclopentane. Diffferent ratio test focused on their cooling …
