ORR Protection Lithium-Ion Battery Q&A: Thermal Runaway

Join ORR Protection experts Lee Kaiser and Aaron Wille as they discuss Lithium-Ion battery safety and fire suppression systems for battery energy storage systems, like those found in data centers. In this part of the series, our experts will explore the topic of thermal runaway and answer the following questions:
1. Is a Lithium-Ion battery fire a self-sustaining fire and can thermal runaway be avoided by simply breaking the fire triangle?
2. Where can one find the appropriate sprinkler density for different batteries or technologies?
3. What are some examples of listed devices or approved methods to detect and minimize thermal runaway?
