Abstract: A battery system includes a housing defining a volume, and a battery module arranged within the housing, where the battery module includes a plurality of battery cells configured to provide an electrical output. The battery system also includes a cooling system having a cooling channel, the cooling channel configured to pass within the battery module and is arranged adjacent the plurality of battery cells, where the cooling channel is configured to facilitate temperature control of the battery module. The battery system also includes a suppression system having a suppressant, where the suppression system is configured to provide the suppressant to the battery module to mitigate a thermal runaway event.

Abstract: A container system includes a container, and a suppression system. The container defines an inner volume, and battery cells positioned within the inner volume. The suppression system is configured to discharge suppressant agent into the inner volume of the container. The suppression system is configured to discharge the suppressant agent into the inner volume of the container at a variable rate in order to provide initial fire suppression, and continuous subsequent cooling of the plurality of battery cells.

Abstract: A battery pack comprising a housing defining a volume and a battery module arranged within the housing, where the battery module comprises a plurality of battery cells configured to provide an electrical output. The battery pack comprising a suppressant canister having a suppressant and positioned within the battery module proximate to the plurality of battery cells, where the suppressant canister is configured to provide the suppressant to the battery module to mitigate a thermal runaway.

Abstract: A battery system includes a housing assembly including an inner wall and an outer wall and a battery section. The housing assembly defines an inner volume, a distribution volume extending between the inner wall and the outer wall, the inner wall extending between the inner volume and the distribution volume, a first aperture and a second aperture each extending through the inner wall from the inner volume to the distribution volume, and an inlet fluidly coupled to the distribution volume and configured to be fluidly coupled to a supply of fire suppressant. The battery section is positioned within the inner volume.

Abstract: A container system includes a container, and a canister. The container defines an inner volume. Multiple modules are positioned within the inner volume. The modules include multiple battery cells. The canister is configured to store liquid CO2. The canister is removably fluidly coupled with the inner volume of the container. The canister is configured to discharge the liquid CO2 into the inner volume to suppress and freeze the battery cells prior to physical opening of the container.

Abstract: A fire detection and suppression system includes a fire suppression system configured to suppress a fire in an area, a temperature sensor configured to measures a zone temperature for each of a plurality of zones in the area, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive the zone temperatures from the temperature sensor for each of the plurality of zones, detect a hazard condition in a first zone of the plurality of zones based on the zone temperature for the first zone, and activate the fire suppression system in response to detecting the hazard condition in the first zone.

Abstract: A fire suppression system for mitigating a thermal runaway event. The system comprising a battery pack having a housing defining a volume, a battery module arranged within the housing, and a plurality of battery cells arranged within the battery module, where the plurality of battery cells are configured to provide an electrical output. The system also comprising a suppression system coupled with the battery pack, the suppression system comprising a nozzle configured to receive a gaseous fluid and a liquid fluid, where the nozzle is configured to deliver a mist suppressant including the gaseous fluid and the liquid fluid to the battery pack, such that the gaseous fluid entrains the liquid fluid to mitigate the thermal runaway event.

Abstract: A fire suppression system includes a controller. The controller is configured to receive sensor data regarding a fire condition from a sensor. The controller is also configured to determine a fire suppression response profile based on the sensor data. The controller is also configured to selectively control a flow rate of each of multiple electronically controllable variable flow rate nozzles over time to provide a fire suppressant agent to multiple zones according to the fire suppression response profile.
