Cooling Pool for Electric Vehicles

Mobile fire extinguishing tub for electric cars

The mobile fire extinguishing tray for electric cars has the following features:

• Cools lithium batteries in electric cars and prevents reignition.
• Foldable design – space-saving – easy transport
• Easy handling and quick assembly in the field within 15 minutes
• The electric car can be inserted using the folding side panel.
• Suitable for storing electric car wrecks
• Made from chemical-resistant and self-extinguishing material
• Equipped with a drain hole with a plug for easy filling or drainage of contaminated water.
• Optional ball valve for draining

Standard size: 6000 × 3000 × 850 mm (14400 l volume), custom sizes available

Note: The contaminated water must later be disposed of as hazardous waste!

Alternative to quarantine containers for cars and electric vehicles, as they are foldable and compact.

Due to its compact size and relatively low weight, the foldable cooling basin is an efficient alternative to conventional quarantine containers for cars and electric vehicles :

Overall package dimensions: 1250 × 1250 × 1095 mm

Weight without supports: 207 kg

Total weight (net, with supports): 320 kg

Total weight (gross with transport box): 375 kg

Where can cooling ponds for electric cars be used?

Cooling tanks for electric and hybrid vehicles are specially designed containers used to cool and stabilize overheated or burning batteries. This prevents the spontaneous combustion of e-cars and other vehicles with lithium batteries. Here are some of the most practical applications for such cooling tanks:

• Fire brigade and rescue operations:
  In the event of electric vehicle fires, cooling pools can be used on-site to safely cool burning or overheated batteries, thus minimizing the risk of explosion or reignition. These pools offer a quick and effective method for controlling the source of the fire.

• Traffic accidents:
  After serious accidents involving electric cars, there is often a risk that the battery has been damaged and could catch fire. Cooling basins can be used in such cases to immediately cool the batteries and prevent thermal escalation until the vehicle can be safely recovered.

• Storage of damaged vehicles:
  In workshops or towing companies that store damaged electric vehicles, a collapsible fire extinguishing tray can be used to cool the batteries of potentially unstable vehicles. This reduces the risk of fires during storage.

• Test centers for electric vehicles:
  In test and research centers where new electric vehicles or battery technologies are being tested, cooling pools can serve as a safety device. In the event of overheating or a malfunction during a test, the battery can be immediately lowered into the pool to cool down and ensure safe cooling.

• Training and simulations:
  Cooling pools can be used in training facilities for rescue workers and firefighters to simulate realistic scenarios. This helps emergency personnel practice handling burning or overheated batteries in a safe environment.

• Battery recycling facilities:
  In facilities that recycle electric vehicle batteries, cooling pools can be used to safely cool the batteries before disassembly or the recycling process. This prevents uncontrolled thermal reactions during processing.

• Underground parking garages and parking structures:
  In underground garages and multi-story car parks, where many electric vehicles are parked close together, a fire caused by an overheated battery can quickly spread to other vehicles. Cooling pools can be provided here as a preventative measure to allow for immediate intervention in the event of overheating or a fire. A damaged electric vehicle can be quickly moved to a cooling pool to cool the battery and minimize the risk of the fire spreading.

• Ferries:
  On ferries transporting electric vehicles, a defective or overheated battery poses a particular hazard, as a fire could spread rapidly in the confined space. Cooling pools can be installed on ferries as part of their safety equipment to cool a burning battery in an emergency, thus ensuring the safety of all passengers and vehicles on board. This is especially important because evacuation on the open sea can be complicated and time-consuming.

By using cooling pools, operators and security forces can significantly reduce the risk of fires caused by defective electric/lithium batteries and react quickly to potentially dangerous situations.

Please note that the contaminated water must be disposed of as hazardous waste after use.
