EV Fire Test

Real EV Fire Suppression Performance (BYD Vehicle Test)

Test Overview

This test evaluates the effectiveness of aerogel-based fire suppression technology on a real electric vehicle fire scenario.

A full-scale EV fire test was conducted using a production vehicle to simulate lithium battery thermal runaway and fire propagation.

The objective is to verify suppression speed, cooling performance, and re-ignition prevention under real-world conditions.

Key Fire Test Results

ev fire test1

Rapid Fire Suppression

Quickly suppresses EV fires and reduces flame intensity within minutes. Prevents further fire spread across the vehicle.

ev fire test2

No Re-Ignition
Risk

Effectively stops thermal runaway chain reactions. No re-ignition after suppression.

ev fire test3

Rapid Cooling Performance

Quickly lowers surface and internal temperatures. Reduces risk of battery reactivation.

How It Works

How Aerogel Suppresses EV Fires

Aerogel-based fire suppression technology combines rapid cooling, oxygen isolation, and barrier formation to stop lithium battery fires at the source.

01.

Rapid Cooling

Reduces temperature and slows thermal runaway.

02.

Aerogel Barrier Formation

Isolates oxygen and combustible gases.

03.

Anti-Re-Ignition Protection

Prevents fire recurrence after suppression.

Why Aerogel Is More Effective for EV Fire Suppression

Fire test results show significant performance differences between aerogel-based suppression and conventional fire extinguishing methods. Choosing the right solution directly impacts safety, equipment protection, and long-term cost.
