Low Dewpoint Dry Room Enables Increased Battery Research Capability

Sharp Laboratories of Europe carries out research into new ideas for Sharp’s innovative technologies including mobile phones, laptops, televisions and battery solutions. Part of this research includes developing next generation battery technologies using new materials. In the past, Sharp Laboratories of Europe used gloves box isolators to create the climate conditions needed to work with batteries.

Some components of the batteries can be moisture sensitive, working in a dry environment removes the variation in results caused by humidity in the atmosphere.

“Working with battery cells of this nature is very delicate work,” explains Katherine Smith, Research Supervisor at Sharp Laboratories of Europe.

When looking to scale up their research capability, Sharp Laboratories of Europe were referred to Munters by a colleague who had prior experience of working with Munters. After visiting the site and reviewing the customer needs, Munters recommended a turnkey solution for the supply and installation of a dry room with temperature and humidity control.

This solution has enabled the increase in capacity with fewer limitations. Sharp’s personnel also visited the University of Warwick to see a proven Munters turnkey dry room solution in place.

Munters' expert Project Team managed the project including the strip out and preparation of the old laboratory, the build of the dry room, installation of ductwork, and installation and commissioning of the system. The temperature within the dry room is controlled using DX technology and the humidity is controlled using a Munters ML1350 dehumidifier.

The ML1350 is a desiccant dehumidifier that efficiently dehumidifies in low moisture applications. It is fitted with built in energy purge and low dewpoint discs complete with an integral thyristor controlled humidity controller.

This temperature and humidity control system has been designed to operate below -20°C dpt at temperature at 21°C. However, since installation, conditions of -30°C dp have consistently been achieved, much to the delight of the Sharp's team.

How it works

At the heart of the Munters dehumidifier is the desiccant wheel. The desiccant wheel rotates slowly between two air streams, allowing water vapour to be removed as it passes through the desiccant wheel. This dehumidified air is then delivered to the dry room.

The Energy Recovery Purge (ERP) system acts as an energy recovery system, collecting waste heat off the hottest section of the desiccant wheel. This reduces the energy used for the most energy efficient temperature and humidity control.

Inside the dry room, a large visual display clearly shows dewpoint conditions and is visible from both inside and outside the room. The dry room has been built to accommodate two occupants.

Munters ran the project as a turnkey solution, offering support throughout the project. This not only gave the customer peace of mind but also allowed Munters Engineers to deliver the project on time, ensuring customer needs were met.

"Overall experience of working with Munters has been very positive. The project was completed on time, support throughout has been excellent and the system has run problem-free since the day it was installed,” says Katherine.

制药

医药产品是敏感的产品,例如粉剂、片剂、胶囊和诊断条带,在与空气中的水分接触后,往往会失去药效和保存期限。这些产品会粘在一起,发霉或碎裂。同时造成机器和管道堵塞,生产、运输和储存均受到阻碍。这是一个可以避免的时间和成本密集型情况。

食品和饮料

为高品质食物提供高优质空气。从农场到餐桌,蒙特全面控制气候条件,在节能并提升生产效率的同时确保更佳产品质量。

零售店和超市

过量潮湿空气进入零售店区域内可造成不舒适的存储环境。零售业在安装更加高效且高性能的空调系统以营造舒适、健康的工作和购物环境时,已实现了更高的销售额并降低运营成本。
