FIRE BLANKETS
FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES
IN THERMAL RUNAWAY
The importance of fire blankets for electric vehicles cannot be underestimated, particularly given the risk of thermal runaway in lithium batteries. This article explores the key reasons why these blankets are essential, their features, and how they contribute to the fire safety of electric vehicles.
Why Use a Fire Blanket for Electric Vehicles?
Using a fire blanket for electric vehicles is crucial for several reasons. The lithium batteries used in these vehicles pose a risk of thermal runaway, which can cause fires that are difficult to control.
-
Thermal runaway protection:
Lithium batteries, if overheated, can enter thermal runaway, releasing flammable gases and increasing the risk of fire. A quality fire blanket helps contain these flames and prevent the fire from spreading.
-
Prevention of the spread of fire:
In the event of a fire, a fire blanket limits the spread of fire to other parts of the vehicle and surrounding objects, thus reducing damage.
-
Intervention by professionals:
Professional firefighters often use fire blankets to quickly secure a burning vehicle before proceeding with a more detailed response.
Essential Features of Fire Blankets for Vehicles
Fire blankets for electric vehicles must have specific features to be effective. Here are some key elements to consider:
-
Fire resistant material:
-
Blankets are made of materials that can withstand extremely high temperatures, ensuring maximum protection against flames. These materials often include fiberglass or flame-retardant fabrics specially designed for this application.
-
Single or multiple use: To guarantee effectiveness, the Y Pro blanket is single-use. This eliminates the risk of deterioration after the first use, ensuring that the blanket always retains its fire-retardant properties. The Y Pro MAX30 blanket, on the other hand, can be reused up to 30 times!
-
Adaptability and specific applications:
These blankets are designed to fit various vehicle types and specific applications. For example, they can be used not only for electric vehicle fires, but also for battery fires and other similar emergencies.
Example of use : In the event of a fire involving an electric car, a fire blanket can be quickly deployed to contain the fire, allowing emergency crews to proceed safely. This is especially crucial in situations where the fire risks spreading quickly, endangering other vehicles or infrastructure.
