The present application relates to the technical field of
lithium battery, and discloses a low-pressure
carbon dioxide fire extinguishing method for a
lithium battery electric box, which comprises the following steps: step 1, a centralized low-pressure
carbon dioxide storage tank unit is arranged, the
storage tank unit is connected to a battery cabin through a
pipe network, a full-submersion spray head is connected to the end of the
pipe network and installed on the cabin top, and a temperature sensor, a
smoke detector and a
combustible gas sensor are arranged in the battery cabin. The centralized low-pressure
carbon dioxide storage tank unit and the
solid dry ice continuous spraying technical scheme are adopted, the
solid carbon dioxide
dry ice is sprayed at a preset rate through the full-submersion spray head at the end of the
pipe network, the
dry ice rapidly gasifies and absorbs a large amount of heat in the battery cabin, and the spraying duration can reach several hours. Compared with the short-time spraying scheme of
aerosol and heptafluoro-
propane in the prior art, the technical defects that the spraying time of the conventional fire extinguishing agent is short and the
lithium battery
thermal runaway cannot be continuously inhibited are solved, and the secondary
combustion and heat spread caused by the temperature rise of the
battery pack are effectively prevented.
