TKC-BESS-DLC Energy Storage Enclosure System

BESS-DLC: An Enclosure System Born for Energy Storage

In today's rapidly developing energy storage industry, BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) safety enclosure has evolved from an "optional configuration" to an "engineering necessity."

The TKC-BESS-DLC Energy Storage Enclosure System is a systematic enclosure solution specifically developed for BESS application scenarios. It combines the modular advantages of ISO container structures with FM-certified DLC explosion venting technology, providing energy storage projects with an enclosure path that balances safety and engineering feasibility.

System Architecture

Core Components

1. ISO Container Main Structure

  • Standard 20-foot or 40-foot ISO container conversion
  • Structural strength compliant with ISO 1496 standard
  • Modular design supporting single-unit independent or multi-unit combination

2. DLC Explosion Venting Panels

  • Compliant with FM 4440 certification standard
  • Explosion vent area configured according to NFPA 68 calculations
  • Venting direction customizable based on site conditions

3. Enclosure Sealing System

  • Specialized sealing design for door frames, corner fittings, and other connection points
  • Waterproof rating IP54 or above
  • Supports subsequent maintenance and replacement

4. Monitoring Interface

  • Reserved BMS (Battery Management System) interface
  • Supports integration of temperature, gas concentration, and other sensors
  • Works in coordination with active protection systems (BESS Vent, Vent PRO)

System Operating Logic

Normal operating state

Thermal runaway triggered (temperature/gas concentration anomaly)

BMS alarm → Active protection system response

BESS Vent controlled venting (first layer)

Vent PRO active pressure relief (second layer)

DLC explosion vent panel passive response (third layer)

DivEx directional guidance (energy directed to safe direction)

Application Scenarios

Scenario 1: Single-Unit Independent Energy Storage

Suitable for small to medium energy storage configurations or independently arranged areas.

Characteristics:

  • Clear single-unit enclosure with defined safety boundaries
  • Easy installation, short construction period
  • Relatively simple subsequent maintenance

Typical Applications: Industrial park backup power, commercial building peak-valley adjustment

Scenario 2: Multi-Unit Side-by-Side Energy Storage System

Suitable for energy storage projects with larger capacity and concentrated equipment layout.

Characteristics:

  • Standardized combination, unified enclosure design
  • Unified release direction planning, preventing chain reactions
  • Supports phased capacity expansion

Typical Applications: Large commercial and industrial energy storage, grid-side energy storage stations

Scenario 3: Existing Site Renovation Projects

Suitable for energy storage projects in existing factory areas, equipment areas, or sites with limited conditions.

Characteristics:

  • Modular design adapts to various site conditions
  • Can be integrated with existing building structures
  • Helps shorten construction period

Typical Applications: Old factory renovation, limited space energy storage deployment
