Fire Protection Layouts for Lithium Forklift Charging Rooms

With the wide application of lithium battery powered forklifts in modern industrial logistics scenarios, the standardized fire protection layout of charging rooms has become a core part of site safety management. First of all, the site selection of the lithium forklift charging room should be far away from densely populated work areas and places storing flammable and explosive goods, and the ground should be treated with insulation and acid-base corrosion resistance to avoid potential safety hazards caused by battery liquid leakage. The interior of the charging room should be divided into independent functional areas according to the actual operation demand, including charging operation area, temporary spare battery storage area and staff on duty rest area, and each area should be separated by fireproof separation facilities, and the reserved safety evacuation channel should keep unobstructed all the time, with no less than the width specified in the national safety standard. For the configuration of fire protection facilities, it is necessary to arrange special detection devices for smoke, ambient temperature and combustible gas generated by thermal runaway of lithium batteries at the top of the space, which can trigger the alarm signal to the on-site management personnel at the first time when abnormal conditions are detected. Corresponding special fire extinguishing facilities for lithium battery fire accidents should be arranged at intervals in each charging station area, and conventional unsuitable fire extinguishing equipment should not be used to deal with lithium battery fire risks. The ventilation system of the charging room should be arranged at a position that can effectively discharge the possible harmful gas to the outdoor open area, to avoid the accumulation of harmful gas in the closed space. It is not allowed to stack any irrelevant sundries in the charging room, and obvious safety warning signs should be pasted at the entrance and key positions.
