Lithium safety for maritime environments
Lithium battery systems are increasingly used across aviation, from onboard equipment to critical power systems, with weekly incidents reported. The risk of thermal runaway is heightened in confined, high-value environments where safety, compliance, and operational continuity are essential.
Failure is not an option up in the air
Within aviation environments, lithium battery incidents can escalate rapidly due to confined spaces, strict safety requirements, and limited intervention options during operation. In these environments, incidents must be detected and controlled before ignition occurs to ensure passenger safety and protect critical systems.
What makes lithium risk critical in aviation?
- Confined spaces increase pressure and heat buildup
- Limited access and intervention options during flight
- Passenger and crew safety and critical onboard systems at risk
- Traditional fire systems react only after ignition, or lithium fires are handled with normal water
- Operational disruption and grounding lead to high costs
Engineered containment for aviation safety
Schneider containment systems are designed specifically for aviation environments, where early detection, controlled intervention, and full containment are essential. By integrating detection, suppression, and isolation into one system, incidents are stopped at the source—before they can impact surrounding systems, equipment, or passengers.
