6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Battery room smoke exhaust system”

Can a smoke detector be installed in a battery room?

Smoke detectors may be installed in battery rooms. In rooms where vented type lead acid batteries are installed, Hydrogen detectors may be installed. Fan operation may be interlocked with Hydrogen detector actuation. If Hydrogen detectors are not installed, the fan shall run continuously. 83. Refer the table 1 for details.

Are exhaust fans provided for battery rooms?

Exhaust fans are not provided for rooms where Sealed Maintenance Free (SMF) batteries are installed. The ventilation requirements for battery rooms as recommended in various applicable standards are given below. Q in Cubic Meters / hour recommended for battery rooms.

Does a battery room need a ventilation system?

The ventilation system for the battery room shall be separate from ventilation systems for other spaces. Air recirculation in the battery room is prohibited. Exhaust air through a dedicated exhaust duct system if the battery room is not located on an outside wall.

How should a battery room be designed?

Battery rooms shall be designed with an adequate exhaust system which provides for continuous ventilation of the battery room to prohibit the build-up of potentially explosive hydrogen gas. During normal operations, off gassing of the batteries is relatively small.

Do recombinant batteries need ventilation?

Also since the hydrogen released to the surroundings is highly flammable and explosive; these types of batteries must be installed in a sufficiently ventilated room. Most industry codes specify 6 air-changes per hour in the battery room. We will learn more on ventilation later in this course. Recombinant cells have a starved or gelled electrolyte.

How do you ventilate a battery room?

Ideally the battery room exhaust ventilation shall have both high-level exhaust for hydrogen and low-level exhaust for electrolyte spills (acid fumes and odors). Distribute one-third of the total exhaust flow rate to the high-level exhaust to ventilate all roof pockets. Locate low-level exhaust at a maximum of 1-ft above the floor.
