AF-X aerosol extinguishing system

Fire suppression for lithium-ion storage

LOXXER integrates AF-X aerosol extinguishing systems as standard in its li-ion charging cabinets and containers. In the event of a lithium-ion battery fire, the system responds within seconds. Autonomously, without external intervention. Safe for people, animals, and the immediate surroundings.

What is thermal runaway?

A lithium-ion battery that is charging, discharging, or in storage can, under certain conditions, overheat. That overheating can trigger a chain reaction in which the battery cell continues to heat itself until it catches fire. We call this phenomenon Thermal Runaway. The particular danger: the fire originates from inside the cell, develops extremely fast, and can defeat traditional extinguishing agents. Early detection is therefore critical.

  • Fire develops from inside the cell: invisible until it's too late
  • Chain reaction that becomes uncontrollable within seconds
  • Active during charging, discharging, and even during static storage

How does the system work?

Detection and activation
in 2 steps

1

Smoke detection

Every LOXXER cabinet or container is equipped with two built-in smoke detectors. As soon as one detector registers smoke, the system is put on standby and a warning signal appears.

2

Automatic activation

Upon confirmed detection, the AF-X aerosol generator is activated immediately. Without human intervention. Without delay.

3

Suppression

The aerosol spreads rapidly throughout the entire internal volume of the cabinet or container and suppresses the fire at a chemical level — without water, without foam, without extinguishing powders that damage equipment.

Aerosol vs sprinkler

Why aerosol and not sprinkler or CO₂?

Traditional extinguishing systems are designed for surface fires. A lithium-ion fire takes place inside the battery cell, and therefore requires a different approach. AF-X aerosol works at a molecular level: the active particles break down the chemical combustion chain and stop the reaction at the source.
