Common standards in the battery room include those from American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) and Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). Model codes are standards developed by committees with the intent to be adopted by states and local jurisdictions.
The ventilation system is determined such that the hydrogen concentration shall be limited to less than 1% of the total air volume of the battery room. Audible and visual alarm shall be installed outside the battery room entrance to annunciate a failure in ventilation for immediate action.
Cabinets or racks shall be provided in the battery room for storing maintenance tools and safety equipment. These cabinets and racks shall be acid or alkaline resistant as applicable. Battery rooms shall be vented to the outside air by forced ventilation to prevent accumulation of hydrogen and to maintain design temperature.
Battery room walls and floor shall be made of concrete construction. Battery rooms shall be provided with enclosed and gasketed (i.e., vapor tight) corrosion resistant lighting fixtures as specified in SAES-P-123 . Battery room lighting shall be installed to provide a minimum level of illumination of 30-ft candles (300 lux).
The employer must know, document and train the employee for the assigned task and exposed risks. It is a requirement to have all the documentation in place prior to authorized personnel entering a battery room to perform a specific work task on a battery system under normal operating conditions.
Care must be taken at the design and siting stage to ensure that there can be no ingress of moisture from fixed fire-fighting apparatus in rooms above the battery room. Since battery capacity and performance is affected by temperature, a stable ambient temperature of 20°C is sought within the battery room.
SBS Exhaust Ventilation Fan
Meet battery room ventilation safety requirements and create an automated hydrogen gas ventilation system using the SBS Exhaust Fan in conjunction with the SBS-H2 hydrogen gas detector. This 12" x 12" fan automatically vents out dangerous hydrogen gas that builds up in battery charging rooms/areas. The flexible fan design, featuring a sliding collar, works on walls …
