DATA CENTERS & CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Battery Safety for
Critical Facilities

Evaluate thermal runaway, gas dispersion, fire propagation, and ventilation across battery racks, cabinets, and the surrounding facility.

Why Battery Safety Matters in Data Centers

UPS and backup battery systems are essential to maintaining continuous operation of critical data center infrastructure, but thermal runaway can extend beyond the initiating system. Facility layout, equipment proximity, ventilation, and airflow can influence fire propagation, gas accumulation, equipment exposure, and potential downtime.

UPS AND BACKUP SYSTEMS

Analyze the Battery Event

Determine how module configuration, rack design, and operating conditions influence event initiation and escalation.

Design for Facility Safety

Evaluate how heat, gas, and smoke interact with equipment, ventilation, and surrounding spaces to identify exposure and develop mitigation strategies.
