Automatic Fire Safety System for EV Buses

Designed to protect the lithium-ion battery compartment in EV buses, our system integrates advanced detection, alarm, and suppression technologies—providing targeted fire protection where the risk is highest, making it ideal for school, staff and long-distance buses in both Indian and global markets. 

FDAS & FDSS FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERY

Tested and engineered as an advanced wetting agent, SNF LITH+ ensures rapid cooling, deep cell penetration, and effective prevention of re-ignition. It is non-damaging to both high-voltage battery systems and sensitive electronics, offering safe and reliable protection for electric mobility.

Fire Strobe Siren

  • Loud audible alert (90dB) for immediate evacuation
  • Bright strobe light enhances visibility in smoke or low light
  • EMI/EMC certified

Control Panel

  • Automatically triggers suppression on abnormal temperature rise
  • Compatible with upto three zones
  • EMI/EMC Certified

Heat Linear Cable

  • Activates at 187°C, triggering suppression within 10 seconds
  • Built to endure vibration, heat cycles and harsh engine conditions.
  • UL Approved

Wetting Agent-FDSS LITH+

  • Low pressure mist discharge at 9-10 bar for deep and even coverage 
  • 1-2 minute spray ensures sustained suppression and cooling
  • Thinning under pressure to reach between tightly packed cells

Explain how the system works?

01
Fire Detection

The Linear Heat Detection (LHD) cable senses abnormal heat in the battery pack and triggers the fire detection system when temperatures exceed a set threshold.

02
Fire Alarm Activation

The control panel displays a fire indicator for the battery compartment, and the buzzer alarm sounds to alert the operator

03
Alarm Acknowledgment

The alarm will continue to sound until the operator presses the “accept” button on control pannel to silence it

04
Automatic Suppression Activation

The suppression system automatically activates when the LHD cable detects a temperature rise, releasing SNF LITH+, a lithium-ion battery fire suppressant

05
Manual Activation (If Automatic Fails)

If the system fails to activate automatically, the operator can manually release SNF LITH+ by pressing the control panel button or pulling the pin on the cylinder to open the solenoid valve.

06
Error or False Alarm Handling

In case of a false alarm or error, the operator can silence the alarm by pressing the "accept" button, correct the issue, and press the "reset" button to restore system functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the FDAS & FDSS system for EVs?

FDAS (Fire Detection & Alarm System) and FDSS (Fire Detection & Suppression System) are designed to detect and suppress lithium-ion battery fires in electric buses. These systems ensure quick response, deep penetration, and prevent thermal runaway or re-ignition.

The system uses SNF LITH+, a specially engineered wetting agent for lithium-ion batteries. It vaporizes at ~200–250 °C, rapidly absorbs heat, and interrupts thermal runaway.
  • Penetrates deep into enclosed battery packs
  • Prevents re-ignition and thermal runaway
  • Safe for high-voltage and sensitive electronics
  • Leaves minimal, non-corrosive residue
  • Performs well in high-temperature and vibration environments

Yes. Key components such as the control panel, strobe siren, and LHD cable are EMI/EMC certified and UL approved, ensuring reliable operation under extreme automotive conditions.

The linear heat cable activates at 187 °C, and the suppression system is triggered within 10 seconds, ensuring rapid and efficient containment.
