Lithium-ion batteries are a popular choice for clean technologies. Electric cars often rely on these units as efficient, light and low maintenance power sources. Solar panels and embedded healthcare devices, such as pacemakers, often use these batteries for their high energy density while surveillance and emergency power backup systems depend on their reliability and durability.
Driving down DWP and Costs in Battery Production
Batteries are manufactured in dry rooms – specialist production areas designed to be hermetically sealed with minimal particle count in the environment. Lithium is a highly hygroscopic material, sensitive to both moisture and temperature. Cleanrooms created for battery production require an extremely low dew point, which can be energy demanding. In addition, mining lithium is an intensive mining process which can produce large amounts of CO2. Reducing these emissions created throughout other stages of the production cycle is key in making the clean technologies enabled by lithium batteries a more viable and attractive option.
Cotes Ultradry Range uses triple disced desiccant dehumidification to provide the ultra-dry air required in these applications. Designed with energy efficiency and sustainable solutions at the fore, the Ultradry range uses Exergic technology, and is capable of creating dew points of -120oC while reducing cleanroom CO2 emissions by 95% and reducing energy usage by 45%.
