The Li-Ion battery may be subjected to high risk of explosion if for example it is selected a wrong chemical type for the cell or an improper mechanical construction design and distancing between the cells, thus making the thermal runaway effect more likely to happen.
For the purpose of explosion protection, devices are assessed on the basis of the zones in which they are to be used. For Zone 2, the device is deemed "safe" if no potential source of ignition exists under normal operating conditions.
Saft is offering a number of solutions for use in explosive atmospheres; either as a partially tested component or certified equipment. Saft batteries’ long lifetime is also an advantage to avoid replacement in remote or hard-to-reach locations.
Enjoy the reading!!!*** In a Li-Ion battery, the internal cells might generate a dangerous explosion if they are present simultaneously the explosive material, a certain kind of rugged battery metallic box and an ignition source in the battery cells.
To enable the explosion protection regulations to describe the potential risks of this technology in greater detail, studies must be undertaken in order to provide a comprehensive assessment of these risks; these studies must look into the various risks associated with the different types of protection.
The Ex d enclosure solution is, in Miretti’ s opinion, as of now the most practically feasible explosion proof protection for Li-Ion batteries.
How Can I Prevent Lithium Battery Explosions?
Always use chargers specifically designed for your lithium battery type. Chargers that are not compatible with the battery''s specifications can lead to overcharging, which may trigger thermal runaway —a condition where the battery''s temperature rises uncontrollably, potentially causing an explosion.
