As electric vehicles (EVs) become increasingly popular, so do concerns about the safety of EVs on board of ships. To address these concerns, a new product has been developed: Fire Isolator. This comprehensive kit is designed to isolate and fight EV fires on board of ships, providing a highly effective and efficient means of tackling these types of fires.
What is the Fire Isolator?
Fire Isolator is a concept for isolating and fighting EV car fires based on best practices and live testing. In general, there is not one single solution to extinguish or control EV car fires, as all firefighters who have dealt with these types of car fires will be able to confirm. Effectively isolating and fighting EV car fires takes several different methods because of the lithium-ion batteries on board of EV cars. The EV car will need to end up submerged in water in a container, but with the Fire Isolator concept, there is a lot that can be done beforehand to minimize the damages. Fighting EV car fires with the Fire Isolator concept has been thoroughly tested and proven to be effective.
Specialists with a long track record of fighting EV car fires figured out what the best method to fight a EV car fire is in order to minimize the collateral damage. Because we need to be clear: an EV car on fire in a carpark or on a ferry is a recipe for disaster.
Fire Isolator as a concept is the outcome of our professional tests of different extinguishing methods of (EV) car fires. The question we had was this: what combination of firefighting methods delivers the best result? With this best practice, the concept of Fire Isolator was born.
The Fire Isolator kit is comprised of three main components: a fire blanket, aerosol units, and a water mist lance. When used together, these components create a powerful system that can quickly extinguish fires in EVs on board of ships.
What can it do for you?
With its unique combination of the fire blanket, aerosol units, and water mist lance, Fire Isolator is the solution for tackling EV fires onboard and ensuring the safety of crew and passengers in the event of an emergency.
The Fire Isolator kit is easy to use, and its powerful features provide a rapid response to contain and extinguish fires.
- The use of a high temperature resistant Fire Blanket (up to 1600 degrees C°, tested according to ISO EN 13501-1) in order to isolate and control the fire and prevent collateral damage. Note that a blanket alone will NOT kill the fire in the battery. It provides control of the situation.
- The use of Aerosol Units, which interrupts the chemical chain reactions occurring in the flames and suppresses the fire resulting in further temperature reduction.
- The use of a Water Mist Lance to spray a water mist over the blanket in order to reduce toxic fumes and smoke and to keep the car cooled.
Our Fire Isolator kit is the perfect choice for any ship owner or operator who values safety and wants to ensure that their crew and passengers are protected in the event of an emergency. With its high-quality components and user-friendly design, Fire Isolator is the best solution for isolating and fighting EV fires on board of ships.
