Solutions for Electromobility

Electromobility is developing rapidly and the number of registred e-cars is rising constantly. More and more car manufacturers are therefore expanding their e-fleets. This trend will also be boosted by the forthcoming entry into force of the EURO7 emissions standard.

Although electric and hybrid vehicles are good for the environment, they present a new and technically difficult challenge in the event of an accident. Car manufacturers, towing services as well as car repair shops also need to retrofit and create a safe place in their facilities for damaged e-cars.

This is exactly what the EmiControls quarantine container was developed for: it is a safe place for all types of electric cars that need to be under observation for a certain period of time.

This makes the EmiControls quarantine container unique

Patented system (European patent no.: 32 63 402)
24/7 automatic monitoring of the damaged e-car
Extremely safe double detection system with smoke and flame detector
Electric winch transports even inoperable cars into the container
Fail-safe due to external batteries and manual operation option
The container acts as a shelter: in case of fire, the surrounding areas are shielded from the flames
Environmentally friendly: contaminated water remains in the container and can be easily disposed of

Why does an e-car need to be quarantined?

The batteries of electric and hybrid vehicles can potentially self-ignite after an accident, for example, if the protective mechanisms of the battery are impaired by an impact and the battery pack is deformed. This can generate a lot of heat, which ignites one or more battery cells. This can lead to a so-called "thermal runaway": one cell ignites the next. In this case, extinguishing with conventional methods is very difficult, because not only the fire itself has to be extinguished, but also the battery has to be cooled down to a temperature below the critical ignition temperature - and this over a longer period of time. Even if an e-car does not immediately start to burn after an accident, the vehicle must still be parked and observed for a certain time to ensure that chemical reactions in the battery do not ignite the fire.

This is how the EmiControls quarantine container works

The quarantine container guarantees safe and fully automatic monitoring of electric cars with the following steps:

The damaged vehicle is placed in the container or, in case of fire (after the pre-extinguishing work), towed into the container by winch.
The interior of the container is then automatically monitored (24/7) for fire and smoke development.
If flames or smoke form, the container sends a signal (to fire alarm center, SIM card, etc.)
and flooding of the container begins automatically. Objective: to flood and cool the battery of the car until the danger of self-ignition is over. Flood height: between 0.2 to 1 meter.
