For outside installations prevent entry of contaminants, water, insects, and wildlife. 2-2.4 Provide spill control for battery inst

6、allations as required by NFPA 1. An electrolyte spill is defined as an unintended release of liquid electrolyte that exceeds 1.0 liters. Battery enclosures that do not provide integral spill containment shall not be used. Permanently installed physical containment structures shall be capable of resi

7、sting continuous exposure to a 70 percent concentration of the electrolytes acid or alkaline chemical. The containment area shall not encroach upon space designated for room egress. Note: Valve-regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries have the electrolyte immobilized in a gel or absorbent glass mats. Th

8、e immobilization limits the potential release of electrolyte to much less than the definition of a spill. For this reason, VRLA designs do not require permanently installed spill containment systems. Electrolyte releases from Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted witho

Areas designated as a battery room shall be mechanically ventilated. Areas designated as battery enclosures shall be ventilated as required by the s

Note: Gelled electrolyte (Gel-cell) batteries and absorbed electrolyte batteries are both types of valve-regu

20、lated lead acid (VRLA) batteries, and have been inappropriately referred to as sealed maintenance-free batteries. Although the cell modules are sealed, making it incapable of water addition to the cells, each cell is equipped with a vent, which opens periodically to release internal pressure. The ve

21、nt is typically open only for a fraction of a second, permitting small amounts of gas to escape. NFPA 70E and IEEE 1187 specify that VRLA cells be treated with the same hydrogen control measures as vented lead acid cells. 2-3.3 Comply with the following IEEE documents for temperature control criteri

22、a, as appropriate for the selected battery type: IEEE Std 484-2002, IEEE Recommended Practice for Installation Design and Installation of Vented Lead acid Batteries for Stationary Applications.

Air conditioning is not authorized. However, extended periods of high temperatures can reduce battery life; in those climates whe

25、re dry-bulb temperatures are greater than 93 F (34 C) for more than 1,000 hours per year, air conditioning can be justified based upon life cycle costs. Compare initial, operating, and maintenance costs of providing air conditioning to the reduction in battery replacement costs. Perform the life cyc
