根因分析
锂离子电池火灾属于B类(易燃液体)和D类(可燃金属)危险;水或泡沫会因锂金属与水的反应导致热失控升级,而用毯子窒息无法冷却电池单元,允许内部短路重新点燃。
English
Lithium-ion battery fires are Class B (flammable liquid) and Class D (combustible metal) hazards; water or foam can cause thermal runaway escalation due to lithium metal reactivity with water, and smothering with a blanket does not cool the battery cells, allowing internal short circuits to reignite.

-
使用专门用于锂金属火灾的D类灭火器(例如Lith-X、Met-L-X或铜粉灭火器)。对于锂离子(非锂金属),B类灭火器(干粉、CO2)可能抑制火焰,但冷却至关重要;部署热成像相机监控热点。
-
对于小型锂离子电池设备火灾(如笔记本电脑、手机),如果安全可及,将燃烧的设备浸入一桶水或沙子中,或放入防火容器(如Lipo Sack)并移至室外。对于小电池组,水浸有效,因为它能冷却电池并防止热失控传播。
-
遵循NFPA 18A:使用专门设计用于锂离子火灾的水雾或润湿剂(例如F-500封装剂),它能冷却并封装电解液,降低复燃风险。这是电动汽车火灾响应的标准做法。
无效尝试
常见但无效的做法:
-
90% 失败
Water reacts with lithium salts and organic electrolytes, producing flammable hydrogen and increasing thermal runaway.
-
85% 失败
Lithium-ion fires are self-sustaining due to internal chemical reactions; oxygen is not required for combustion.
-
60% 失败
CO2 displaces oxygen but has minimal cooling effect; battery cells can reach >500°C internally.
