FAQS 4

Do existing battery rooms have ventilation vulnerabilities?

A case study involving six existing battery rooms has been performed to investigate design vulnerabilities and identify knowledge gaps with respect to ventilation and other active fire protection measures. Results from the mapping indicate large differences in the design of ventilation systems and strategies implemented in existing battery rooms.

Should a battery room be ventilated?

According to the National Electrical Code (NEC), the battery room should be ventilated, as required by NFPA 70 480.10 (A). “Ventilation. Provisions appropriate to the battery technology shall be made for sufficient diffusion and ventilation of gases from the battery — to prevent the accumulation of an explosive mixture.”

What are the ventilation requirements for a room or area housing battery?

Unless exempted below, ventilation requirements for a room or area housing batteries are required to be as per manufacturer installation instruction, or calculated by a competent person (such as mechanical designer). Vented type batteries connected to a charging device with a power output of less than 200 Watt.

Why do batteries need to be ventilated?

The battery rooms must be adequately ventilated to prohibit the build-up of hydrogen gas. During normal operations, off gassing of the batteries is relatively small. However, the concern is elevated during times of heavy recharge or the batteries, which occur immediately following a rapid and deep discharge of the battery.
