PREVENT THERMAL RUNAWAY, AVOID DANGEROUS BATTERY FIRES.
A Unique Non-Conductive Coolant Fluid by LifeSafe Technologies
Thermal runaway is one of the primary risks related to lithium-ion batteries. It is a phenomenon in which the cell enters an uncontrollable, self-heating state. It can be caused by shock, heat, over charging and degrading batteries.
This can result in ejection of gas, shrapnel and/or particulates (violent cell venting), extremely high temperatures, highly toxic smoke and fire.
THE BEST PREVENTATIVE SOLUTION FOR THERMAL RUNAWAY IN BATTERY PACKS
Introducing LifeSafe Thermal Runaway Fluid (TRF) - our ground-breaking, patent-pending coolant solution that prevents the deadly threat of thermal runaway by significantly reducing the transfer of heat within a battery pack. The TMF is non-toxic, non-hazardous and importantly non-corrosive, a significant leap forward in the efforts to better control battery fires and overheating in a safe and more sustainable way.
The use of lithium-ion batteries is not a new phenomenon, however, their use has increased rapidly in recent years, most notably in the technology and transport sectors in such products as phones, laptops, cordless tools, electric cars, e-scooters and e-bikes. They will soon also be used more frequently in the home as power storage systems.
With an increasing number of devices and industries around the world utilising the power and efficiency of lithium batteries, there is a need for a new approach to controlling and managing the heat build-up within a battery.
TWO PHASE MOLECULAR TECHNOLOGY:
LifeSafe Technologies’ TRF is the only fluorine free fluid that tackles lithium battery fires using the patented Exo-suppression and Endoshield technologies. The ground breaking solution extinguishes the fire and removes the heat, stopping thermal runaway and reignition.
1. EndoShield Performance
The TRF fluid creates an endothermic reaction, absorbing the energy that is given off from a fire as heat, effectively acting as a super coolant.
2. Exo-Suppression
The TRF Fluid supresses the oxygen at a molecular level to prevent reignition.
LIFESAFE TRF deals with the most dangerous battery fires by:
- Removing the heat and preventing thermal runaway
- Cooling the fire and preventing re-ignition
- Making the battery safer post-trauma
WHAT IS THERMAL RUNAWAY?
Thermal runaway can occur in Lithium battery cells (specifically Lithium-ion battery cells). Heat rises within the cell due to a number of reasons:
- External damage such as from impact
- Thermal failure
- Mechanical breakdown
- Short circuiting within the battery
- Electrochemical modification
The lithium cell begins to decompose and become unstable due to extreme heat within the cell. As this severe heat cannot be dissipated it builds up within the cell, eventually being released with force. This is an initial explosion which is followed by fire.
A bigger issue is that these cells explode, re-ignite, and ignite adjacent cells due to the extreme heat that continues to reside within the initial explosive cell.
WHY IS IT SO CRITICAL TO SOLVE?
Due to the performance of lithium batteries and the possibilites they provide, they are being used more and more around the world in many industries - from an individual’s mobile phone at home to huge energy storage farms to the latest electric car models.
Just two examples:
The phenominal growth of electric cars will certainly continue, meaning lithium-ion batteries - and therefore the risk of lithium thermal runaway - will also grow exponentially.
There are already an incredible amount of smartphones owned around the world - as users upgrade to new devices more frequently than ever, the storage and disposal of phones, old and new, is a major challenge and disaster risk.
