Battery Container Dehumidifier Layout for Uniform Moisture Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Energy storage containers are oversized due to the large volume of compressor air conditioners used for dehumidification, leading to uneven dehumidification and space inefficiency, and moisture affects battery modules and electrical equipment, reducing their service life.
Innovation Solution
The dehumidifiers are arranged in the gap between the battery clusters and the bottom cover, with their thickness aligned with the height direction of the box body, reducing space occupation and allowing for more efficient battery module arrangement and uniform dehumidification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If compressor air conditioners are directly fixed on side plates for dehumidification, then dehumidification function is achieved, but container size becomes oversized and space utilization is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The dehumidifier is rotated 90 degrees and installed in the thickness direction (height direction) within the existing container volume, rather than placing it horizontally on side plates. This dimensional reorientation allows the dehumidifier to fit within the vertical space between battery clusters and bottom cover, eliminating the need to increase container length or width.
Solution Approach 2:
The dehumidifier is nested within the vertical space already occupied by battery cluster arrangements. By positioning the dehumidifier in the gap between the bottom of battery clusters and the bottom cover, the design utilizes otherwise wasted vertical space, effectively nesting the dehumidification system within the existing structural envelope.
2Reliability
If compressor air conditioners are directly fixed on side plates, then dehumidification is provided, but dehumidification effect becomes uneven
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple dehumidifiers are strategically positioned at different locations within the container (e.g., front and rear sections) to create localized dehumidification zones. This distributed arrangement ensures that moisture is removed uniformly throughout the entire container volume, rather than concentrating dehumidification capacity in one location.
3Reliability
If large volume compressor air conditioners are used, then dehumidification capacity is sufficient, but space for battery modules is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The dehumidifier is installed vertically in the thickness direction, utilizing the height dimension that would otherwise be empty space. This orientation allows the dehumidifier to occupy minimal horizontal footprint, preserving maximum space for battery module arrangement while maintaining adequate dehumidification capacity.
Solution Approach 2:
The dehumidifier is nested within the vertical gap between battery clusters and bottom cover, utilizing space that does not interfere with battery module placement. This nesting approach allows both battery storage and dehumidification functions to coexist within the same vertical envelope without compromising either function.
