EDITOR’S CHOICE Bespoke humidity solutions Like many things in the modern world, lithium battery technology is changing all the time, and in quite dramatic ways. With batteries, chemical components like lithium-ion, lithium iron phosphate, graphene and more, means you need a stable environment with less than 1% humidity, as these particular chemicals are highly sensitive to moisture. On top of the safety concerns, keeping air moisture levels low is necessary to help achieve high levels of product yield, better quality control, energy efficiency, cycle life and even end storage capacity for every battery produced in the plant. In short, it might be the single most important element in creating a manufacturing space for lithium batteries. Most battery manufacturers require that a room’s humidity/average moisture level be maintained as low as -40°C dew point (0.5% Relative Humidity at 72°F) and sometimes even lower. At Humidity Solutions we love a challenge like this. Because we produce bespoke solutions, we can design a dehumidification system that can address every single one of your concerns without having to buy multiple systems from multiple places. Instead, we are your one stop shop for dehumidification and environmental control, ensuring you have the perfect environment for lithium and other kinds of battery manufacturing.
