Vigilex Energy products

The Vigilex ARC-VENT® range is meticulously engineered for integration with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and the exterior walls of electrical switch rooms. These explosion relief panels are designed to mitigate over-pressurization due to gas or arc flash explosions. They ensure safety by venting explosions in an upward direction, away from critical infrastructure and personnel. Certified to open under specific pressure conditions, the panels are rigorously tested for operational reliability. They boast an IP66 certification, providing robust waterproof protection, and adhere to ATEX EN 14994 standards for gas explosion venting systems. This ensures compatibility with stringent safety regulations. The design features a gray silicone gasket conforming to UL 50E and UL157 standards, with options for rectangular and square dimensions, providing versatile installation choices for varying applications.

The GAS-VENT system is engineered specifically for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to manage the critical requirement of degassing and smoke extraction. Designed to remain in a closed state for structural integrity, it opens automatically upon sensing harmful gas or smoke. The unit functions much like the DUAL-VENT® but does not include a feature for explosion protection. It is compatible with a range of sensors capable of detecting smoke, gases, and heat. In the event of a thermal runaway in a battery cell, which can produce dangerous gases and potentially cause a fire or explosion, the system efficiently extracts these gases to minimize safety risks. Once safety parameters are reestablished, the system returns to a sealed state, ensuring containment. It is accompanied by a connection box for simplified installation and integration within existing systems.

The DUAL-VENT system is specifically engineered for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to provide comprehensive fire protection. It addresses crucial industry standards such as NFPA 68 and NFPA 69, ensuring both the prevention and mitigation of thermal runaway incidents. The system incorporates advanced gas detection and automatic venting mechanisms which are vital to expel hazardous gases swiftly during a thermal runaway event. Additionally, the system facilitates effective overpressure relief following an explosion, directing potential flames safely upwards away from equipment and personnel, thus minimizing collateral damage and ensuring safety. DUAL-VENT®'s integration capability with ARC-VENT® further enhances protection by combining quick gas extraction and effective explosion mitigation. This solution is notable for its cost-efficiency and competitive edge in the market, aligning with stringent safety protocols while offering seamless integration through an included connection box. This makes it a pivotal component in safeguarding BESS installations.

VIGISPACE® offers a unique solution for explosion protection in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) where positioning vents on top is infeasible. This deflector is designed to mount on the sides of the enclosure, working in tandem with vent panels to effectively redirect explosive forces upwards, thereby minimizing potential damage to adjacent environments. The deflector serves as a crucial safety component, ensuring that the vent panel opens only to its extent, enhancing control and safety during explosive events. Given that side positioning of vent panels may reduce efficiency, it’s advisable to consider additional or larger panels for optimized performance. VIGISPACE® is rigorously tested and certified for reliability and safety in explosion protection scenarios. These certifications attest to its capability to safeguard complex systems while adhering to strict safety regulations.
