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.
Applications for construction and infrastructure
Drying concrete during construction
Waiting for the natural drying process is often unfeasible due to the time concrete can take to dry, causing delays. Unless the specifications for moisture content in the concrete are met, the next floor cannot be constructed, sealers cannot be applied, and flooring subcontractors cannot proceed. This chain reaction of delays pushes up costs and risks overrunning deadlines for completion.
Of the various building materials, concrete can be one of the most vexing sources of moisture. Although a slab may appear dry, the appearance can be misleading. Under average ambient conditions, a concrete slab poured within an enclosed building will dry at a rate of about an inch per month. But even that is a generalization; the actual rate will differ based on the concrete batch ingredients (the mix design), curing procedures, and ambient conditions—indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity.
Excess moisture causes several problems:
- Moisture migration to the surface, which can result in the failure of adhesives, discoloration of flooring material, and blisters in coatings.
- Growth of mold in other materials as ambient moisture remains high. Poor initial adhesion of flooring installed on the slab.
Munters dehumidification devices help provide the perfect climate for faster building processes. And thanks to the revolutionary control platform, Munters AirC, and connectivity solutions, you can monitor and manage our connectivity-enabled construction site dehumidifiers from your computer or smart device.

Advantages:
- Shorter drying times
- Less risk of discoloration and mold
- Faster access for subcontractors
- Better adhesion of sealers
Keeping infrastructure dry
Most types of infrastructure rely heavily on steel to provide the necessary strength. Unfortunately, corrosion of steel components is commonplace and not always easily detected, which makes it especially dangerous, since it can lead to structural failure, environmental damage, and the loss of capital investment and perhaps even life.
However, dry air significantly inhibits corrosion. Moisture is the primary cause of rusty bolts, corroded rebar and weakened trusses. In other words: less humidity equals less maintenance.
Munters dehumidification devices can help move moisture-laden air outside, ensuring that the air inside a bridge tower, for instance, can be kept dry to slow down corrosion. And thanks to the revolutionary control platform, Munters AirC, and the cloud-based application, Connected Climate®, you can monitor and manage our connectivity-enabled dehumidifiers from your computer or smart device.
