EV Shelter and Charging Facility Fire Protection Reference Design
A zoned detection, discharge and shutdown concept for open or semi-enclosed charging areas.
Send project requirements
Final design must be re-engineered for cell chemistry, capacity, enclosure layout, local codes and project testing.
Project assumptions
A multi-bay charging canopy with public access, electrical chargers, variable vehicle position and wind exposure.
Primary risks
Delayed detection, flame spread between vehicles, wind-driven agent loss and conflicts between charging power and emergency response.
System architecture
Zoned multi-parameter detection triggers alarm and charger isolation, then project-selected local or zoned discharge and cooling support.
Design objectives
Detect abnormal conditions early, isolate charging energy, protect evacuation routes and provide clear alarm and event feedback.
Customer data required
Bay spacing, canopy height, charger layout, vehicle mix, water and power, wind, occupancy, drainage, interfaces and local code.
Application boundary
Discharge method, coverage and cooling demand must be validated for the actual geometry, vehicles, climate and authority requirements.
Prepare a project-specific configuration
Cell chemistry, capacity, enclosure and PACK layout, ventilation, detection philosophy, interfaces, ambient range and local code.
