Enhancing Energy Storage Safety: Exploring FK-5-1-12 Fire Suppression Technology with Dagong ESS

As the global shift toward renewable energy accelerates, energy storage systems (ESS) are playing a pivotal role in balancing supply and demand. However, with the growing deployment of ESS comes increasing focus on system safety—especially fire protection. One innovative solution gaining attention is FK-5-1-12, a clean agent also known by its chemical name perfluorohexanone. At Dagong ESS, we prioritize advanced safety solutions like FK-5-1-12 across all our energy storage products.

What is FK-5-1-12?

FK-5-1-12 is a clear, non-conductive, and environmentally considerate fire suppression agent. It’s designed to extinguish fires quickly without damaging sensitive equipment, making it especially suited for use in energy storage environments where lithium batteries are common.

Benefits of FK-5-1-12 in Energy Storage Applications

Rapid Fire Suppression: FK-5-1-12 acts in seconds to control battery-related fires, helping to prevent system-wide damage.

Non-Residue and Non-Corrosive: After discharge, it leaves no residue, reducing cleanup and equipment wear.

Low Environmental Impact: It contains no ozone-depleting substances and has a short atmospheric lifetime.

Equipment-Safe: Its dielectric properties allow for safe use around high-voltage components.

Safety Considerations and Risk Mitigation

While FK-5-1-12 is generally safe, certain conditions can pose risks. At elevated temperatures, it may produce harmful byproducts such as hydrogen fluoride. Additionally, as a fluorinated compound, long-term environmental exposure requires careful management.

To reduce risks, Dagong ESS recommends the following best practices:

System Design with Ventilation: Proper airflow minimizes the buildup of harmful gases in confined spaces.

Personnel Training: Staff are trained in emergency response and system operation protocols.

Routine Maintenance: Regular checks ensure system readiness and safe discharge operations.

Alternative Evaluation: We continuously explore supplementary or alternative fire suppression options like inert gases for specific scenarios.

Common Questions About FK-5-1-12

Q1: Is FK-5-1-12 safe for people and electronics?
A: Yes. FK-5-1-12 is non-conductive, non-corrosive, and does not leave residues. It’s widely accepted for use around delicate electronics and human-occupied spaces when properly installed and ventilated.

Q2: Does FK-5-1-12 have any health risks?
A: Under normal conditions, it is safe. However, exposure to high concentrations or thermal decomposition byproducts may cause temporary discomfort. Proper system design mitigates this risk.

Q3: How does FK-5-1-12 differ from Novec 1230?
A: FK-5-1-12 and Novec 1230 share the same chemical composition. Novec 1230 is the trademarked brand by 3M, while FK-5-1-12 is the generic chemical name used by other manufacturers.
