Emtez LithiumVault Quarantine Cabinets

How do water quarantine safety cabinets effectively prevent lithium-ion battery thermal runaway?

In addition to the standard Emtez safety cabinet features, in the event of a fire, our LithiumVault Quarantine Cabinets also feature a built-in quarantine water tank system. The cabinet automatically triggers a safety response at 70°C that tips over all shelves.

This action allows the batteries to descend into a specially designed water tank positioned at the cabinet’s base. As soon as they’re immersed, the fire will be rapidly extinguished, and the potential risk of subsequent self-combustion, arising from the chemical reagents present in the batteries, will be effectively eliminated. This safety mechanism ensures the containment and reduction of fire-related dangers.

Water pump and algaecide

Our Quarantine cabinets are outfitted with a water pump designed to facilitate the controlled replenishment of water within the tank. This pump serves to effectively cycle and renew the water content. An algaecide is added into the tank with the function of hindering the growth of algae and bacteria. This combination limits the growth of unwanted microorganisms.
