Design of an Air Management System for a Dry Room and Utilization of Waste Heat

2021

Master's thesis in Renewable energy (ENE500) This thesis presents the design of an air management system used in a dry room fora lithium-ion battery factory using a Matlab/Simulink environment. The sizing of the system is based on the 32 GWh battery factory, currently under construction by Morrow Batteries in Arendal, Norway. The generic air management system from the literature review was used as a base for the general layout and initial values. Combining coolers and a desiccant dehumidification wheel was the optimal solution for the dehumidification system. The molecular sieve was the selected desiccant due to its high performance at low relative humidity. The outlet air quality from the …
