The T-Rex ESS is Protecfire’s specialised automatic fire suppression solution for lithium-ion battery rooms, containerised energy storage systems (BESS), EV charging hubs and large-scale battery installations — engineered to address the unique and rapidly escalating fire risks of modern energy storage. Lithium-ion thermal runaway events generate intense heat, toxic gases and self-sustaining reactions that conventional suppression systems simply cannot control. T-Rex ESS tackles this challenge head-on with powerful cooling, oxygen displacement and re-ignition prevention, combining our patented detection technology with a high-performance extinguishing agent specifically formulated for battery fires. Built with stainless-steel components, low-maintenance mechanical operation and reliable performance across a wide temperature range, T-Rex ESS protects your batteries, your facility and your investment — engineered in Germany for the new era of clean energy and grid-scale storage.

Argon gas extinguishing
In the first stage, in the first phase, there is an alarm via smoke detectors.
This detection activates the Argon gas extinguishing system. In this way there is a prior deprivation of oxygen inside the container, removing the strength of the fire and avoiding explosions.
Argon gas is very effective and does not generate toxic fumes with the mixture of components from a battery fire.
Liquid and gas extinguishing
In the second stage, if an anomalous temperature is detected, the system starts the second fire extinguishing phase.
The special extinguishing agent Tiborex Absolute is driven into the container in which the SPY temperature detector was triggered.
Mixed with the propellant Argon, there is a 10x greater cooling effect than water and a drastic reduction of the oxygen inside the container. We have hereby the best formula for extinguishing a fire.
for aftermath and safe action from the fire brigades
In the third stage, an aftermath is considered. The container keeps the oxygen levels low for some time. In combination with Tiborex, it is ensured that there are no re-ignitions.
When the fire brigade arrives, they can connect their water hoses to the container and reduce the levels of noxious gases and oxygen with an extra Argon bottle.
In this way, they can safely follow up to the stage of opening the container door, without any danger of explosion or fire from the sudden influx of oxygen.
