High-Pressure Water Mist for Lithium-Ion Battery Protection in Data Centers – Is Pre-Action Really the Best Choice?

High-pressure (HP) water mist systems are increasingly being proposed to protect lithium-ion battery installations in data centers. This is a positive development, given their proven ability to control and suppress battery fires.

However, one critical concern remains.

In many projects, the system is designed as a pre-action sprinkler system, relying on automatic glass-bulb nozzles that discharge only after the bulb reaches its activation temperature. By the time these nozzles operate, thermal runaway may already be well established, resulting in significant fire growth, off-gassing, and extensive damage.

For lithium-ion battery hazards, a deluge HP water mist system with open nozzles is often a more appropriate solution.

When integrated with an early off-gas detection system, the deluge system can be activated before thermal runaway fully develops. This enables earlier cooling of the battery modules, helping to slow or limit thermal runaway propagation, reduce fire intensity, minimize damage, and provide valuable time for emergency response.

For these reasons, a deluge HP water mist system combined with early off-gas detection generally offers a more effective fire protection strategy than a pre-action system for lithium-ion battery applications—particularly in mission-critical facilities such as data centers.

As lithium-ion energy storage continues to expand, fire protection strategies should prioritize early detection, rapid intervention, and thermal runaway mitigation, rather than relying solely on temperature-activated discharge.

🚇 The Water Mist System That Keeps the Tyne Tunnels Safe

Every year, more than 20 million vehicles travel through the Tyne Tunnel, one of the United Kingdom's most important transport links. Ensuring the safety of motorists while maintaining uninterrupted tunnel operations is a critical priority.

As part of the New Tyne Tunnels Project, High-Pressure Water Mist Fire Suppression System was designed and supplied to protect both tunnel bores.

Following comprehensive fire risk assessments, the tunnel operator selected FOGTEC's proven water mist technology to enhance:

✅ Life safety for tunnel users
✅ Rapid fire suppression and control
✅ Protection of critical tunnel infrastructure
✅ Long-term operational reliability and availability

Before commissioning, the system was successfully validated through full-scale fire testing, demonstrating its effectiveness under realistic tunnel fire scenarios.

Since entering service in 2012, the FOGTEC High-Pressure Water Mist System has been safeguarding the Tyne Tunnels for more than a decade, proving that advanced fire protection plays a vital role in ensuring both public safety and the resilience of critical transport infrastructure.

Protecting infrastructure. Safeguarding lives. Keeping essential transportation moving.

🔥 The Future of Fire Protection for Lithium-Ion Battery Storage

As the adoption of lithium-ion batteries continues to grow, protecting battery storage facilities has become one of the biggest challenges in modern fire safety engineering.

Conventional sprinkler systems often struggle to control the intense heat generated during thermal runaway. In addition, the large volumes of water required can result in significant damage to equipment, inventory, and facility operations.

FOGTEC has developed a new high-pressure water mist solution specifically engineered to address the unique fire hazards associated with lithium-ion battery storage in high-bay rack warehouses.

To validate the technology, large-scale fire tests—among the most comprehensive of their kind worldwide—were successfully conducted under worst-case conditions, including:

✅ Real lithium-ion battery modules
✅ Full-scale high-bay rack storage configuration
✅ NCA and NMC battery cells charged to 100% State of Charge (SOC)
✅ Simulated thermal runaway scenario

The result?
The FOGTEC High-Pressure Water Mist System successfully contained the thermal runaway event within a single rack compartment, preventing fire propagation to adjacent storage areas.

Why is this solution different?

✔ Full-scale fire tested and independently validated under the supervision of TÜV SÜD, with testing conducted by the accredited IFAB – Institute for Applied Fire Safety Research.

✔ Up to 95% less water consumption compared with conventional rack sprinkler systems, significantly reducing water damage to surrounding equipment and stored goods.

✔ Suitable for batteries stored at up to 100% State of Charge (SOC) without operational restrictions.

As the authorized distributor of FOGTEC High-Pressure Water Mist Systems in Vietnam, TAZ Engineering Company Ltd. (TAZETCO) is ready to support consultants, developers, EPC contractors, system integrators, and facility owners with:

TWO PROVEN SYSTEMS, DIFFERENT STRENGTHS, THE RIGHT CHOICE DEPENDS ON THE PROJECT.

Did you know? The compatibility of the use of water and other extinguishing agents with the stored materials is a key issue that must be evaluated both in the design phase of extinguishing systems and in the intervention phase by firefighters in the event of a fire.

An example is in the video shown, which occurs during an intervention in a fire with the presence of magnesium.

What is happening in this case? Focusing on magnesium, when trying to extinguish with water, magnesium reacts violently by breaking down the water molecule and achieving an explosive reaction that releases a significant amount of energy. When it comes to magnesium compounds, such as magnesium phosphide, when they come into contact with water, phosphine is formed, which is a flammable and toxic chemical compound.

For this reason, it is necessary to have means of extinguishing and specific strategies for the risk you have. In the case of metals, the use of specific type D extinguishing agents for each metal class is necessary. Likewise, there are intervention procedures that lead to the use of dry sand to completely cover the fuel.

A foam fire protection system is more than just foam concentrate.

For effective fire suppression, the following must work together:
✅ Water Supply
✅ Foam Concentrate
✅ Proportioning Equipment
✅ Foam Discharge Devices
✅ Detection & Control System

A failure in any one component can affect the performance of the entire system during an emergency.
