CALCULATE YOUR ENERGY SAVINGS FOR YOUR BATTERY DRY ROOM
This calculator uses dynamic energy prices and your dry room data to calculate how much energy you can save. By choosing the right way to dry you can obtain high energy savings with up to 92% compared to conventional dehumidifiers.

Conventional systems are limited to either electricity and/or gas as a regeneration heating source. Cotes Exergic Technology however makes it possible to select a combination of sustainable sources of regeneration heating.

Because dry rooms operate at extremely low dew point it makes a big difference how many people work in the dry room at one time.
-120 °C
-25 °C
What is your prefered nominal operating dew point inside your dry room? Cotes Exergic Technology can reach dew points of -120°C in an unstaffed room, though we see most dry rooms only need to maintain a dew point of -60°C.
Based on your data Cotes Exergic Technology can provide you with the following:
-

Compare Cotes Exergic with the competition
The issue with current non-Cotes dehumidification is their high dependency on only electricity and gas. Cotes Exergic Technology allows you to choose a combination of sustainable energy sources like:
- Waste heat (District heating or waste heat from elsewhere in the li-ion battery production)
- Biomass or Biogas (if available and sustainable)
- Solar thermal panels
- CO₂ Heat Pump used for both heating and cooling. Pay once and use twice.
- Electricity (From sustainable energy sources, i.e., wind power, hydropower, solar power and/or nuclear power)
Depending on your sustainable source of energy to heat the hot water at 80°C-90°C in Cotes Exergic Technology, you can save up to 92% energy consumption in your dry room.

how it works
Cotes Exergic Technology®
The challenge associated with existing non-Cotes dehumidification systems lies in their heavy reliance solely on electricity and gas, coupled with inefficient air-drying methods operating at very high temperatures. This combination creates an unstable and hazardous operating environment.
Cotes developed the Exergic Technology®, an innovative solution maximising energy savings by using three rotors and sustainable energy sources.
With the patented Cotes Exergic Technology®, you can utilise a combination of sustainable energy sources to achieve considerable energy cost savings and large carbon footprint reductions. All you need is hot water at 80-90°C heated by a sustainable energy source:
- Waste heat (from elsewhere in the li-ion battery production)
- Biomass or Biogas (if available and sustainable)
- Solar thermal panels
- CO₂ Heat Pump used for both heating and cooling. Pay once and use twice.
- Electricity (From sustainable energy sources, i.e., wind power, hydropower, solar power and/or nuclear power)
- Gas **
Because the energy to heat the water can come from a combination of sustainable energy sources and can be changed in the future if the price of energy changes, it makes the Cotes Exergic Technology more sustainable and more future-proof. This flexibility is not possible if the dehumidifier is built for gas regeneration specifically.
**Cotes does not recommend or consider gas as a source of sustainable energy due to the environmental footprint. We recommend utilising energy for the hot water from sustainable or “green” energy sources instead. However, if gas is a requirement, the water can come from a central gas boiler.
