Overview
Emergency Fire Suppression Enclosure for Battery Fire Response in Personal Mobility
Rapid growth of personal mobility increases battery fire risks in stations and platforms.
Conventional extinguishers cannot effectively suppress enclosed PM battery fires.
Battery fires escalate rapidly, making early on-site response difficult.
The enclosure isolates burning PM to block heat and flame spread.
Integrated water cooling enables early suppression and damage minimization.
Core Competencies
Purpose
Safely enclose and suppress battery fires of personal mobility using a rapid-response enclosure system.
Rapid enclosure of burning PM to block flame and heat propagation.
Fire-resistant structure designed for indoor station environments.
Internal water injection for cooling-based fire suppression.
Effective reduction of battery thermal runaway progression.
Compatible with elevators and station transport routes.
Fixed installation or mobile deployment options available.
Expected Benefits
Early fire containment reduces secondary damage in stations.
Improved safety for passengers and maintenance staff.
Rapid on-site response minimizes evacuation and downtime.
