The present invention relates to a barrier for preventing the propagation of a thermal event within a multi-cell battery module, comprising a framework structure and a heat-absorbing material, which comprises water and a component based on biogenic raw materials. Furthermore, the invention relates to a multi-cell battery module and a battery comprising at least one such barrier. Finally, the present invention also relates to a method for preventing the propagation of a thermal event within a multi-cell battery module.

A method, system, and apparatus for flame arresting are provided. In an embodiment, a flame arrestor includes a quenching element disposed within a conduit. The flame arrestor also includes a cooling system in thermal contact with the quenching system. The cooling system cools the quenching element during operation of the cooling system.

The present invention discloses a system installed around a penetration hole of a pipe penetrating wall structure which divides a certain space and sealing the penetration hole in case of fire, which comprises a housing unit, a connecting unit and a fixing unit. A housing unit forming a body and having a predetermined accommodatable space, a connecting unit connected to the housing unit, interconnecting the housing unit in a series and a fixing unit arranged at a side of the housing unit, fixing the housing unit to the wall structure.

A vehicle includes an internal cabin. An enclosed component is within the internal cabin. The enclosed component includes an intumescent coating. As an example, the enclosed component is a lavatory within the internal cabin. As another example, the enclosed component is a waste compartment. As another example, the enclosed component is a grille within a door.

A fire-resistant strip for providing a fire-rated seal to a construction gap or joint includes an intumescent material layer configured to expand in response to a temperature above a threshold temperature and at least one heat resistant material layer made of or comprising a material having a melting temperature above the threshold temperature, such as a fiberglass material. The at least one heat resistant material layer covers the intumescent material layer. At least one adhesive layer is configured to secure the fire-resistant strip to a building structure or structures defining the construction gap or joint.

A firestop assembly configured for sealing about a pipe extending through a passage in a building structure division with a sealing element sealing the passage about the pipe. The firestop assembly includes a tube configured to be positioned about the pipe and secured relative to the building structure division. An intumescent material is positioned within the tube. A heat reduction insulation is supported by the tube such that the heat reduction insulation extends about the sealing element and minimizes heating of the sealing element.

Technologies are described for a smoke baffle assembly and method of installation. The smoke baffle has a longitudinally extending base with an upper leg, a first leg, and a second leg. A first flange extends inward form the first leg and a second flange extends inward from the second leg. A smoke baffle holder holds an upper portion of a smoke baffle and has a first and second outward extending flange. Each of the outward extending flanges and inward extending flanges is configured and disposed for moving the outward extending flanges into the base and above the inward extending flanges and holding the smoke baffle in the base.

A radiant heat protection device, a radiant heat protection method, and a service vehicle include a radiant heat reflector (51) having a reflective surface (51a) that reflects radiant heat (H), a coolant retainer (52) disposed on a back surface (51b) of the reflective surface (51a) of the radiant heat reflector (51) and capable of retaining coolant (C), and a coolant feed device (53) configured to feed the coolant (C) to the coolant retainer (52).
