Gloria fire extinguisher for lithium-ion batteries and lithium batteries
With the WKL-PRO series, the manufacturer Gloria – one of the leading manufacturers in the field of fire fighting and fire extinguishers in Germany – has brought to market specially developed products that are suitable for fighting battery fires.
Gloria WKL Pro fire extinguisher ideal for businesses and private individuals
Gloria battery extinguishers are available with fill amounts of 6 or 9 liters and are therefore perfectly suited to the needs of private individuals and commercial users. Thus the water extinguishers are used, for example, to extinguish e-bike batteries, burning tool batteries or smaller batteries from notebooks, smartphones, etc. Even with more powerful batteries (such as e-cars or PV storage) the use of Gloria battery extinguishers can be a first measure to bridge the time until the fire brigade arrives.
Also usable for extinguishing electrical systems
In addition to the extinguishing of battery fires of all kinds, the Gloria WKL PRO extinguishers can also be used for other areas, e.g. for extinguishing electrical systems up to 1000 volts. Here, a distance of at least one meter must be kept during fire fighting; for higher voltages, DIN VDE 0132 must be observed.
Properties and equipment of the Gloria battery extinguishers
The WKL-PRO extinguishers from Gloria have been individually developed for battery fires and burning lithium-ion batteries, so that the extinguishing agent used and the additive GLORIA IMPREX C deployed are perfectly oriented toward use for extinguishing battery fires.
Handling of the Gloria fire extinguisher when extinguishing Li-ion batteries
To make the use of the GLORIA battery extinguisher as easy as possible for both commercial and private users, the manufacturer has implemented different concepts and features that enable efficient fire fighting of battery and cell fires in everyday life.
High-strength valve body and ergonomically shaped carrying handle
The bottle features a proven slam-button valve with an ergonomically shaped, extremely stable carrying handle. The valve body is made of high-strength fiberglass-reinforced special plastic with a pre-assembled disposable cartridge (no floating cartridge!), separated from the water.
Laser-welded, durable fire extinguisher container
As standard, the portable Gloria water fire extinguisher WKL PRO is supplied with a stable wall mount. The container is laser-welded and has a durable inner coating. The metal union nut is black anodized. The internal CO2 propellant cylinder is provided with a corrosion-resistant polyethylene coating.
Large temperature range for fighting batteries and cells
The GLORIA WKL PRO fire extinguishers can be used in a wide temperature range. From +5°C to +60°C they are suitable for fighting battery fires and other fire sources of fire class A.
Rotatable and long hose line for battery fire fighting
Perfect handling thanks to rotatable and extra-long LABS-free quality hose line with woven layer of synthetic rubber material. The extinguisher pistol is rotatable and lockable with pre-assembled extinguisher lance with 5-hole spray nozzle, so that even hard-to-reach fire sources and Li-ion batteries can be fought with Gloria WKL-PRO extinguishers without issue.
Extinguishing effect of the GLORIA WKL PRO extinguisher on battery fires
The extinguishers of the WKL PRO series can be used for fires of the Class A and, in particular, for burning lithium-ion batteries. The blue color code on the bottle signals the extinguishing agent water. In addition to water, this battery extinguisher also contains the extinguishing concentrate GLORIA IMPREX C, which provides particular suitability for fighting battery fires. The suitability test for lithium-ion batteries was conducted by the Dutch institute KIWA.
Environmentally friendly extinguishing agent additive GLORIA IMPREX C
With the extinguishing water, the addition of fire-suppressing substances was deliberately avoided. Apart from the fluor-free additive GLORIA IMPREX C, there are no further additives. Thus the extinguishing agent is free of environmentally harmful PFOS or PFOA and also causes no damage when used outdoors – e.g., when extinguishing e-bike batteries.
Gloria water extinguishers versatilely usable
The Gloria water extinguishers are suitable not only for lithium-ion batteries due to their classification in fire class A but also for the most common domestic fires. Also in the commercial sector, for example in storage areas of computer/electrical specialist stores, tool departments in trading companies, or archives/paper and packaging storage – the battery extinguisher from Gloria is highly recommended.
