Why is battery room protection important?
Investing in battery room protection is an investment in the well-being of employees, the longevity of assets, and the overall resilience of the organization. Remember, when it comes to battery room safety, it’s always safety first. Dive into the crucial role of battery room protection within industrial facilities and warehouses.
Where should a battery room be located?
It is usual practice to locate the battery rooms away from other equipment as they are in their own right hazardous components: fire/explosion, acid, stored energy. Monitoring equipment, control of personnel and protective equipment is needed for access to the battery rooms provided.
Why is fire and blast protection important for battery storage rooms?
Given the widespread use of battery storage rooms in major infrastructure projects, providing comprehensive fire and blast protection is especially important. We’ve installed barriers, doors, encasements and more in projects around the world, including airports, metro stations, ports and military facilities.
What is a battery room?
Battery rooms serve as centralized hubs for storing, charging, and maintaining batteries used in material handling equipment, backup power systems, and other industrial applications. These rooms house various types of batteries, including lead-acid and lithium-ion, which are essential for powering equipment and ensuring uninterrupted operations.
How should a battery room be maintained?
Periodic inspections should be made of the grounding system to assure that continuity is maintained. Battery rooms should be equipped with a centralized Emergency Power Off (EPO) system that can disconnect power in the room from the UPS common battery buss or individual UPS module(s) being supported by this room.
Is your battery storage room fire safe?
However, the presence of many batteries in a single space presents unique concerns around fire safety. The battery storage room must be designed in a way to eliminate as much heat as possible, and to contain a fire in the event that one occurs.
