Abstract: Proposed is a battery fire suppression system with a fire extinguishing agent cooling function, in which a fire extinguishing gas serves as a refrigerant for cooling a fire extinguishing agent and at the same time, the fire extinguishing gas is sprayed into a battery room or a battery module to quickly extinguish a fire in the battery. While allowing the fire extinguishing gas to basically serve as the refrigerant, depending on the amount of combustible materials loaded in the battery room, the shape of battery cells installed inside the battery module, the battery capacity, etc., it is possible to selectively determine whether to allow the fire extinguishing gas to serve only as the refrigerant, or to allow the fire extinguishing gas to be sprayed to the battery module where the fire has occurred to cool the surface of the battery module or directly extinguish the fire in the battery module.
