PRIOCOVER Mobile fire protection cover for Li-ion batteries incl. cable bulkhead

In warehouses where lithium-ion batteries are stored, damaged cells can pose a high risk potential for employees and the operating and storage technology. Explosive fires in batteries ("thermal runaway") are difficult to control. In the "General Safety Rules for Lithium Batteries (VdS 3103: 2019-06)", the VdS recommends that damaged or defective lithium batteries be removed from storage and production areas immediately and stored temporarily at a safe distance or in an area separated by fire protection technology. This PRIOCOVER slip-over housing from PIORIT is a simple and portable solution for active and passive fire protection of lithium-ion batteries. If you are interested, please contact us for a customized offer.

Size, structure and function of the fire protection cover

The PRIOCOVER mobile fire protection cover has external dimensions of 1005 x 1390 x 900 mm and internal dimensions of 908 x 1300 x 900 mm (height x width x depth). The weight is 400 kg. Special sizes are also available on request.

The housing is made of a non-combustible panel material with a wall thickness of 42 mm. This has a solid construction, high stability and high surface hardness. This is a CPL surface (Continiuos-Pressure-Laminate), in which the panel layers are pressed under constant pressure and temperature. The housing is finished in light gray, similar to RAL 7035. In addition, the fire protection cover is recyclable and free of harmful substances.

Crane eyes on the sides make it possible to lift the housing using round slings and a forklift truck. When in use, the fire protection cover is simply placed over loaded Euro pallets, drip trays or pallet cages.

For storage, the lithium-ion batteries can remain on the pallet and time-consuming reloading or moving can be avoided. Damaged batteries can also be safely protected from further damage or access until collection or disposal.

Optionally, a fitting set can be attached to the top to feed cooling water into the container and/or a cable bulkhead for safe charging of the batteries. This is the version with cable bulkhead.

A lifting set consisting of 2 round slings and 4 carabiners and a floor drip tray to collect any leaks is also available.

Certification and guidelines

The surface material is non-combustible according to classification A2 - s1, d0. The housing is suitable for a fire resistance of 90 minutes. It is tested in accordance with European standards (EN) and has a green building declaration in accordance with LEED and DGNB.
