The name “Exergic” stems from the word “Exergy”, which is a measure of the available energy in a given system. This is the essence of Cotes Exergix Technology, A dehumidification system that can keep the dry rooms dry using almost any energy source. All you need to do is heat water up to 80°C.
A dehumidifier using The Cotes Exergic Technology® typically requires 30-40% less energy than a conventional dehumidifier. Furthermore, it enables the dehumidifier to run at low nominal temperatures of 80°C (instead of 140-180°C), making it possible to use hot water as the energy source (instead of electricity or gas). Any combination of sustainable energy sources can heat this hot water :
- Waste heat (could be from ovens in the battery production)
- District heat
- Biomass or Biogas
- Solar thermal panels
- High-temperature Heat Pumps (replacing chillers)
- Electricity
- Gas
Depending on the actual specification and source(s) of energy, Cotes Exergic Technology® would typically reduce the electric consumption of the dehumidifier by 60-80% (up to 92%).
Another benefit is flexibility. Any new source is easily adapted if the energy availability or pricing changes in the future. It is only a matter of changing how the water is heated.
Our Ultradry adsorption dehumidifiers are all based on Cotes Exergic Technology®. See datasheets here, and see how it works here.
