Introduction
Although LiFePO₄ chemistry offers superior thermal stability, fire risk cannot be completely ignored, especially in high-capacity energy storage systems.
Fire-Resistant Design Measures
Flame-Retardant Materials
- UL94 V-0 rated plastics
- Fire-resistant steel or aluminum panels
Internal Safety Design
- Thermal insulation layers
- Fire separation between battery modules
- Gas exhaust channels
Pressure Relief and Venting
Proper venting allows:
- Safe release of internal gases
- Reduced risk of enclosure rupture
- Controlled pressure balance
Compliance Standards
- IEC 62619
- UL 1973
- UN38.3
