Fire protection system

ECOFIRE RACK CONTROL: The First Certified Fire Suppression System for Lithium Batteries

With the rise of electric mobility and energy storage, the risk associated with lithium-ion batteries has changed the rules of the game. ECOFIRE RACK CONTROL is the first automatic sprinkler system specifically designed for fire suppression of electric batteries stored in racks. Backed by the Applus+ Certificate of Technical Suitability (ETI-2182), this system guarantees no fire spread and protects your assets, your personnel and the environment.

What is the ECOFIRE RACK CONTROL and why will it revolutionise your warehouse?

The ECOFIRE RACK CONTROL is a wet pipe system that uses automatic sprinklers connected to a network containing our revolutionary SIMONRACK ECOFIRE FIGHTING extinguishing agent. Unlike traditional water-based systems that can react violently with lithium, our solution quickly and safely controls dreaded thermal runaway.

Technical Specifications and Certified Performance

Our system has undergone rigorous full-scale trials with NMC battery modules of up to 51.3 kWh. The results obtained guarantee maximum safety for your installation:

Total containment

The system ensures that there is no fire spread to adjacent batteries.

Absolute thermal control

The temperature of the adjacent batteries is always kept below 60°C.

Precise activation

Use quick-response (K=80) pendant sprinklers that automatically activate at 68°C.

Flow efficiency

The system requires a minimum nozzle operating pressure of 0.56 bar and offers a mean flow rate of 282.8 l/min.

The extinguishing agent

The Secret of Success: The SIMONRACK ECOFIRE FIGHTING Agent

The heart of the ECOFIRE RACK CONTROL system is its extinguishing agent. It is a liquid solution of water-based organic charges that redefines fire protection.

Superior Firepower (Encapsulation)

It has an efficacy between 30 to 40 times higher to that of conventional water.

Upon reaching 90-95°C, the product reacts, creating a protective carboxylic layer.

This cover increases its size between 40 and 50 times, encapsulating the fire and eliminating direct contact with oxygen.

100% Ecological, Safe and Toxin-Free

Protecting your business shouldn't mean harming the planet. SIMONRACK ECOFIRE FIGHTING is a non-toxic, non-bioaccumulative, and non-corrosive product. According to exhaustive trials carried out by ECOTOXILAB:

Terrestrial fauna: Zero acute toxicity to earthworms (OECD Standard 207). Falls outside the criteria for contaminated soil.

Aquatic fauna No classification for acute aquatic toxicity in tests with Daphnia magna (OECD Standard 202).

Flora: It successfully passed the terrestrial plant test for emergence and growth (OECD Guideline 208), demonstrating it to be totally safe for plant development.

Tailor-made engineering

Design, Installation and Procurement

The ECOFIRE RACK CONTROL adapts to your palletised infrastructure and is designed in accordance with the Fire Protection Installations Regulations (RIPCI).

Rack Configuration Designed for storage of up to 3 heights, maintaining a minimum distance of 41 cm between batteries.

Millimetric coverage: The sprinklers are installed at the intersection of each level, with a maximum distance of 1.4 m between them horizontally. The maximum distance from the deflector to the load does not exceed 55 cm.

Guaranteed autonomy The pumping group and the reserve tank ensure a continuous flow of extinguishing agent with a minimum autonomy of 30 minutes.

Preventative programme

Simple and Regulated Maintenance

To ensure the optimal functioning of the system over time, a comprehensive preventive maintenance programme has been established:

Quarterly and half-yearly reviews: Visual check of sprinklers, reading of pressure gauges, cleaning and verification of the pressure group.

Annual reviews: Flow and pressure tests, as well as checking the SIMONRACK ECOFIRE FIGHTING reserve.

Long-term reviews (5, 10, and 25 years): They include laboratory tests by the manufacturer to ensure that the agent retains its properties unchanged for 5 years, and inspections of the pipe network at 10 and 25 years.

Protect your warehouse

Request a Technical Study for your Battery Warehouse

Each logistics centre is a world of its own. The height of the racks, The maximum load of the modules (up to 51.3 kWh per pallet) and the existing piping infrastructure dictate the exact needs of your project. That's why at ECOFIRE we don't believe in "generic kits"; we custom engineer to protect your pallet racking.

Are you a Logistics Manager, HSE (Health, Safety & Environment) responsible, or a Plant Engineer needing to mitigate the risk of thermal runaway in your battery inventory? Let our technical team conduct a detailed study to integrate the ECOFIRE RACK CONTROL system.

What does our technical study for Racks include?

Planimetry and shelving audit

We analyse your layout of racks (The system is validated for 3-tier storages with tramex gratings), checking that required safety distances can be maintained (minimum 41 cm between batteries) and the correct location of sprinklers in the vertical chimneys formed by the load.

Hydraulic calculation and sizing

We design the pipe network and calculate the exact flow rate for the rapid response pendant sprinklers (K=80, activation at 68°C). We ensure the minimum pressure required (0.56 bar at the nozzle) and the volume of SIMONRACK ECOFIRE FIGHTING agent to guarantee at least 30 minutes of autonomy in the event of an emergency.

Regulatory Compliance Guarantee (RIPCI and UNE)

We guarantee that your installation will strictly comply with the UNE-EN 12845 standard for sprinkler systems and with the Fire Protection Installations Regulations (RIPCI). All backed by the Certificate of Technical Suitability (ETI-2182 from Applus+) which is essential to ensure the legality of your warehouse.

Transparent budgeting and business continuity

We provide you with a clear and detailed economic proposal. Our aim is not just to put out a fire, but to protect the rest of your stock and prevent an incident from paralysing your logistics operations.

Lithium-ion storage requires maximum responsibility. Anticipation is the only way to avoid structural collapse and millions in losses at your warehouse.

    Frequently asked questions

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about ECOFIRE RACK CONTROL

    Yes, it is completely safe and effective. Unlike traditional water, which can react with lithium to release highly flammable gases such as hydrogen, ECOFIRE works by means of a carboxylic layer that insulates the battery and suffocates thermal runaway without adverse reactions.
    Not at all. The agent has a pH of 5.27 and is certified as a non-corrosive material for metals. Furthermore, ecotoxicological studies confirm that it is a naturally biodegradable product, non-toxic and safe for terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
    The sprinkler system has the Technical Suitability Assessment (ETI-2182) issued by the prestigious Applus+ centre (LGAI Technological Center S.A.). It fully complies with article 5.3 of Royal Decree 513/2017 (RIPCI) applicable in Spain.
    SIMONRACK ECOFIRE FIGHTING agent has an extraordinary operating range from -25°C to 65°C, guaranteeing its effectiveness even in industrial environments with severe thermal conditions.
