Abstract
A system includes a battery rack including a frame configured to support a battery tray, the frame including: an inlet fluidly coupled a fluid supply; and a set of columns fluidly coupled to the inlet, each column including perforations arranged on the column and facing an interior of the battery rack, and each column defining a channel configured to circulate fluid from the inlet to the perforations. The system also includes: a valve interposed between the fluid supply and the inlet; a sensor configured to generate a signal representing ambient condition proximal the battery rack; and a controller configured to trigger the valve to transition from a closed state to an open state in response to detecting a precursor condition to a fire event based on the signal.
