Lithium-ion battery dry room dehumidifiers for a production-perfect environment
Whether in a small R&D lab, a micro-environment, or a large-scale production facility, you can achieve optimum humidity control and maximize your lithium-ion battery production with Munters dry room dehumidifier solutions.
Not all battery manufacturing is the same
The demand for lithium-ion batteries is expansive. From hybrid and electric vehicles to mobile phones to laptop computers and medical devices, battery manufacturers are pressed to increase capacity while developing batteries with more storage capacity, higher durability and faster charging.
Low dew point humidity control in battery dry rooms is essential to ensure maximum lithium-ion battery production quality, uptime, and safe workspaces. Munters dry room dehumidifiers provide efficient and consistent humidity control, ensuring stable year-round performance. While achieving dew points between -40°F and -94°F [-40°C and -70°C] or even lower, Munters dry room dehumidifiers reduce your energy costs by up to 30% and are ideal for your lithium-ion battery production.

The manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries takes place in extremely low humidity dry rooms where achieving and mantaining the right climate is essential in order to guarantee optimal product quality.
This calculator will help you design your dry room, and will show you the most important parameters to consider when looking to improve operational efficiency.
Optimal dehumidification is vital to lithium-ion battery manufacturing
Lithium is highly reactive to moisture, so battery production must occur in ultra-low humidity dry rooms. These super-dry conditions help secure product quality and worker safety. Achieving the correct dew point is essential. Not ensuring the proper dew point in your dry room can impact battery production.
- Production issues – unexpected downtime, leading to product loss and high costs.
- Product integrity – reduced battery quality, performance levels and yield.
- Increased operating costs – less efficient dehumidifiers use more energy and generate more carbon emissions over the lifespan of the dry room.
- Increased waste – more frequent quality issues and discarding faulty batteries adversely impacts the environment and your bottom line.
Optimizing battery production
Desiccant rotor dehumidification promotes the ideal dry room environment for battery manufacturing. Munters pioneered desiccant dehumidifier technology. Lithium-ion battery production facilities worldwide use our innovative solutions, maintaining optimal climate conditions and long-lasting performance while saving energy.
Most manufacturers must maintain relative humidity levels in their dry rooms as low as <1% or -40°F dew point corresponding to about 0.55 gr/lb or grains per pound of dry air [-40°C dew point equating to about 0.08 g/kg or grams per kilogram of dry air]. Developing new battery chemistries can further lower industry standards. Munters has provided dry room equipment for lithium-ion battery production, delivering supply air at -128°F [-89°C], and we continue to refine our dehumidifier technology to meet future demands.
Innovative features, like patented Munters Green PowerPurge technology, enable our lithium-ion battery solutions to achieve higher throughput, lower air supply dew points, and up to 30% in energy savings. Munters compact dehumidification systems meet your unique requirements, typically with smaller footprints than other systems, reducing your system’s overall total cost of ownership.

Applications for battery
Electric vehicles
Electric vehicles are becoming more popular every day. Countries are looking at reducing vehicle-related emissions; some plan to ban the sale of new cars equipped with combustion engines. As a result, battery manufacturers must increase their capacity and capability, to accelerate lithium-ion battery production.
Consumer electronics
Mobile phones, computers and handheld devices continue to drive demand for lithium-ion batteries. Manufacturing lithium-ion batteries requires extremely low humidity levels to to ensure maximum quality, uptime and safe workspaces. Dew points as low as -40°F [-40°C] or even lower are a must for these extreme applications.
Lithium-ion batteries will play a crucial role in supporting energy storage systems for balancing power generation, storing excess energy in off-peak hours and enhancing the reliability of renewable energy sources. The demand for lithium-ion batteries for energy storage is growing rapidly worldwide.
