Discover how ConstruAir is making sustainable lithium battery production not just a possibility but a benchmark in manufacturing excellence.

Meeting Ultra-Low Humidity Requirements.

The production of lithium batteries is uniquely challenging due to lithium's volatile reaction with water vapor, which results in the formation of lithium hydroxide, hydrogen, and heat. This necessitates the implementation of ultra-low humidity conditions throughout the manufacturing process. Our state-of-the-art desiccant dehumidification system is meticulously engineered to address these challenges. Our system controls moisture levels to achieve incredibly low dew points, spanning from -40°F to -94°F [-40°C to -70°C], equating to less than 1% relative humidity in some conditions. Further showcasing our technical prowess, the multi-rotor design, a hallmark of our system, can maintain exceptionally low moisture levels, specifically as low as 0.55 gr/Lb (grains per pound of dry air) [0.08 g/Kg (grams per kilogram of dry air)]. Such precision not only assures the quality and safety of lithium batteries but also underscores the depth of our technical resources and commitment to industry-leading solutions.

Moisture Load and Control.

Managing the moisture load and controlling its levels are two pivotal factors that shape the efficiency of our dehumidification solution. The moisture load in the space is generally impacted by vapor pressure differential from the surrounding environment and the human factor, workers in the room typically release 1,500 to 2,000 grains per hour [97 to 129 grams per hour] into the space. To counteract this, our building solution incorporates vapor-tight construction and air lock vestibules, using advanced sealing technologies to create an impermeable barrier against moisture ingress. This meticulous construction approach ensures that fewer cubic feet per minute (CFM) are needed to maintain desired conditions, thereby enhancing energy efficiency. The system is designed to operate within a stringent range of dew points, from -40°F to -15°F [-40°C to -26°C], allowing for optimum product quality while reducing overall operational costs.

Energy Efficiency and Carbon Footprint Reduction.

Traditional dehumidification units consume a large amount of energy, thereby increasing operational costs and CO2 emissions. Our sustainable building solution use heat recovery systems to regenerate energy from hot water, steam, or electric sources. Our green power technology further enhances energy efficiency by up to 30%, contributing to a lower carbon footprint.

Sustainable Construction and Design.

In alignment with our dedication to sustainable practices and green manufacturing, the construction of the dry-rooms takes an eco-conscious approach from the ground up. The dry-rooms are designed to be vapor-tight, a feature achieved through the use of sustainable, high-performance materials that contribute to both longevity and energy efficiency. Access is meticulously controlled via an air-lock vestibule, made from environmentally friendly materials, which significantly mitigates moisture ingress and consequently reduces the operational load on the dehumidification system.

Our strategic design not only maximizes operational efficiency but also minimizes the footprint of the dry-room, all while being executed with eco-friendly construction materials and methods. This focused approach translates into lower energy consumption, by up to 30%. The lowered energy use, in turn, significantly reduces carbon emissions, contributing to an overall decrease in the facility's carbon footprint. These sustainability features not only lead to cost savings but also align with the increasing global emphasis on green manufacturing processes, thereby making it a win-win solution for manufacturers looking to make responsible environmental choices.
