Battery Cluster Dehumidifier Layout for Compact Energy Storage Containers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Energy storage containers are oversized due to the large volume of compressor air conditioners or coil dehumidifiers, which are not in operation, and they occupy considerable space, leading to inefficient use of space and uneven dehumidification.
Innovation Solution
The dehumidifiers are arranged in a gap between the bottom of the battery clusters and the bottom cover, with their thickness direction aligned with the height direction of the box body, reducing the space occupied and allowing for more efficient use of space and uniform dehumidification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If large volume compressor air conditioners are arranged for dehumidification, then dehumidification function is provided, but the energy storage container becomes oversized and space utilization deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The dehumidifier is rotated 90 degrees relative to the conventional arrangement, changing its orientation from horizontal to vertical. This dimensional change allows the dehumidifier to utilize the height direction of the container, reducing its footprint in the length and width directions while maintaining the same dehumidification capacity, thus solving the contradiction between providing dehumidification function and avoiding container oversizing
2Reliability
If compressor air conditioners are directly fixed on side plates, then dehumidification is achieved, but space in length and width directions is considerably occupied
Solution Approach 1:
The dehumidifier is repositioned from the side plate to the bottom of the battery cluster, and its orientation is changed from horizontal to vertical. This dimensional transformation moves the dehumidifier into the height direction, significantly reducing the area occupied in the length and width directions while maintaining effective dehumidification coverage
3Reliability
If large volume dehumidifiers are arranged, then dehumidification capacity is sufficient, but uneven dehumidification effect occurs
Solution Approach 1:
By positioning the dehumidifier at the bottom of the battery cluster with vertical orientation, the design creates localized dehumidification zones that can be optimized for different areas. The vertical arrangement allows for better air circulation patterns and more uniform moisture removal throughout the container, addressing the uneven dehumidification issue while maintaining sufficient overall capacity
