Dehumidification for lithium ion battery production

Production of lithium ion batteries requires extremely low humidity conditions. Lithium reacts with water vapour and inaccurate humidity control in a battery production area can have severe consequences, as well as leading to a drop in product quality.

Due to the extreme requirement for moisture control, the energy required for this part of the manufacturing process is significant and therefore has a substantial impact on the profitabilty of any battery manufacturing operation.

Condair offers desiccant dehumidifier technology with energy saving features that make it ideal for battery cleanroom applications. The flexible design of Condair desiccant dehumidifiers allows the energy needed for regeneration to be taken from heat recovery systems, hot water, steam, gas or electric sources.

Condair's design team will work with a battery manufacturer to ensure that the proposed drying solution meets the required manufacturing conditions, as well as any energy consumption goals.

Our local sales and service teams can provide engineering support to clients wherever they are, whilst Condair's global design capability offers world-leading expertise for cutting edge manufacturing solutions.

Condair dehumidifiers for lithium ion battery production offer:

  • Multi-rotor designs to meet practically any humidity requirement
  • Low energy systems with heat recovery and hot water heating options
  • Global design expertise to provide customized drying solutions
  • Local engineering support for reliable operation in critical environments

“The noise level is now so low that you can talk normally in the ventilation room even though both the ventilation and a dehumidifier are running, which was one of the criteria. You certainly couldn't do that before, and it's worked out well in a concrete bunker.”

“The dehumidification solution from Condair is one of the best investments we have made down here.

Prime Ocean is one of Europe’s largest importers of fresh cod from FAO27 and also imports large volumes of salmon. Both fresh fish products and high-quality frozen products are produced. The dehumidification solution has helped eliminate condensation problems, the daily downtime of the machines has been virtually eliminated and the maintenance work on both machines and buildings has been significantly minimized.”

“The ceiling mounted dehumidifiers are compact in size and were fixed above the pool and spa areas. We were very satisfied with Condair’s service and their prompt response to the project.

The quality of the Condair DP-C dehumidifiers is of a high standard and they were easy to install and simple for the customer to operate. We look forward to a working with the Condair team in the future.”

“The Condair DC 50W dehumidifier was actually chosen by our designers, as it fitted the bill perfectly for the environment. The unit size was based on the quantities of kit hung in the room to dry when the firefighters return to the Centre at the end of their training exercises.

It’s a reliable product and currently operating at the station just as expected, plus installation was really simple and didn’t take long at all, so all very good.

I would definitely specify Condair dehumidifiers for future projects.”

“We have been very happy with the performance of the Condair dehumidifiers JTR installed to comply with our drying approach. It has not only allowed us to increase production efficiency but also produce our award-winning biltong.

We have full control over the entire process and can make decisions based on the data that we recieve. This is something which we couldn’t do as well before.”

“The rooms need very tight environmental control but the previous strategy introduced outside air to help lower temperatures when needed. JTR redesigned the drying rooms and installed Condair DC-N dehumidifiers.

The dehumidifiers, located in the rooms, both dry and heat the air to the required condition, resulting in a fully sealed area and a consistently controlled drying process.”
