The system ensures gas and smoke detection if it occurs.

In a case of a possible fire start inside the

battery pack or compartment the system intends to suppress/extinguish fire or delay fire spread out of
battery pack and compartment to the rest of the vehicle.

CLAIMS

As will be understood by those familiar to the subject, the presented invention may be configured in
some other specific forms without departing from the main characteristics of the solution. In this
respect, the descriptions given here are intended to illustrate, but not limit, the scope of the invention
defined by the following CLAIMS:

An automatic excessive heat, gas, smoke and fire prevention and fire suspension unit in the battery
compartment in electric & hybrid buses mainly operate in battery pack housing and battery
compartment whit a plurality of batteries inside.
It consists of:
.
a. at least one shaped pipe near the battery group consisting of a plurality of holes in the pipes of
a calibrated pipe diameter ranging between 0.2 and 1.5 mm
b. a cryogenic fluid in reservoir connected with at least one distribution pipe. Cryogenic fluid is
selected from the cryogenic group of fluids which are chemically inert, like liquid carbon
dioxide or nitrogen but not limited to those.
c. fire extinguishing agent container connected with at least one fire extinguishing agent
distribution pipe
d. at least one valve on the pipeline for the distribution of cryogenic fluid end at least one valve
on the fire extinguishing agent distribution pipeline
e. at least one temperature sensor near an each or near a group of a plurality of batteries
f. at least one cooling fluid valves connected to pipe between the container and plurality of
calibrated pipe holes
g. at least one smoke sensor within at least one pack
h. a control unit with an algorithm connected with at least one temperature sensor and cooling
fluid distributing valve, wherein the control unit opens said valve when the measured
temperature with at least one temperature sensor does not meet the criteria defined by the
algorithm and when smoke detecting sensor detect a smoke presence over preset smoke
concentration threshold.
i. System enables cryogenic spot cooling, cryogenic surface cooling and combined spot and
surface cooling. It is applied as cryogenic spray or jet cooling with continuous or intermittent
flow.
j. In a case that gas occurs or smoke is formed inside the battery pack, the presented system
enables and controls forced flushing with cryogenic fluid, venting of gas and smoke out of the
battery pack, out of a battery compartment and out of the vehicle.
k. System specified in 1 where the fire extinguishing agent is expanding fire-extinguishing agent
