The dry room represents a step in the manufacturing process where the energy demand is very high because of the large volume of air that needs to be temperature controlled and dried. At present, the dry room is an essential part of the manufacturing plant for lithium ion batteries , , .
Battery dry room cleanrooms are equipped with specialized equipment and materials to maintain these dry conditions, allowing for the production of high-performance, safe, and reliable batteries used in a wide range of applications, from consumer electronics to electric vehicles and renewable energy storage.
Dry room process model This study was conducted for a dry room in a battery manufacturing plant that will produce 100,000 packs of automotive lithium ion batteries (LIB). The plant equipment is amortized over 6 years. The dry room is assumed to have a volume of 16,000 m 3.
This Chapter describes the set-up of a battery production plant. The required manu-facturing environment (clean/dry rooms), media supply, utilities, and building facil-ities are described, using the manufacturing process and equipment as a starting point. The high-level intra-building logistics and the allocation of areas are outlined.
Total operating cost, $/year = I + II The cost of the dry room operations was estimated to be $3.5 M per year, or $35 per pack, or $1270 per m 3 of the dry room, for the plant producing 100,000 battery packs per year.
Clean and dry room ceilings in our experience are a crucial point of consideration when building a battery manufacturing plant. Lithium-ion battery manufacturing processes typically require high ceilings to be able to house the large equipment needed for battery industrial processes.
