Abstract
An electrical storage system includes an electric storage zone, an electric storage positioned within the electric storage zone, a cooling fluid source in fluid communication with the electric storage zone via a fluid flow path, a modulating valve in the fluid flow path downstream from the cooling fluid source and upstream from the electric storage zone, and a detector in fluid communication with the electric storage zone. A method for operating an electrical storage system includes adjusting a modulating valve in a fluid flow path to reduce a cooling airflow to an electric storage zone, operating a detector in fluid communication with the electric storage zone configured and adapted to sense at least one of smoke, gas, or other particulates during a detection period with a detection system, and adjusting the modulating valve to increase the cooling airflow to the electric storage zone.
