    Cotes Ultradry

    Ultra-low humidity dry-air systems for battery dry rooms

    Cotes Ultradry is a high-performance adsorption dry-air system developed for applications requiring extremely low humidity levels and very low dew points.

    The system is primarily designed for battery dry rooms in lithium-ion battery manufacturing, where stable ultradry environments are critical for production quality and process stability.

    Unlike conventional dry-room dehumidification systems that rely heavily on high-temperature electrical heating, Cotes Ultradry uses Cotes Exergic Technology®, which enables regeneration using low-temperature heat sources such as hot water.

    This approach significantly reduces electrical energy consumption while maintaining the very low dew points required in battery production environments.

    Explanation of Naming

    The product designation reflects the system’s primary function:

    • Ultra – extremely low humidity levels
    • Dry – ultra-dry air production for critical manufacturing environments

    The Ultradry platform refers to a system architecture consisting of intake modules and main drying modules rather than a single dehumidifier unit.

    System Architecture

    Cotes Ultradry systems typically consist of two main elements:

    Intake modules
    Pre-dry incoming air before it enters the main drying stage.

    Main modules
    Perform the final drying stages required to reach ultra-low dew points for battery dry rooms.

    Depending on the project requirements, systems can be configured as:

    • Two-stage systems
    • Three-stage systems

    This modular architecture allows systems to scale with dry room size and required dew point levels.

    Typical APplications

    Cotes Ultradry systems are primarily used in battery manufacturing environments, including:

    • lithium-ion battery dry rooms
    • gigafactory production facilities
    • battery research and development labs
    • pilot production lines

    These environments require extremely low and stable humidity levels to prevent reactions between lithium compounds and moisture.

    Why are ultra-low humidity levels required in battery production?
    open close

    Lithium-ion battery manufacturing processes involve materials that react with moisture. Even small amounts of humidity can affect product quality and production stability.

    Dry rooms maintain extremely low humidity levels to prevent moisture contamination during production.

     Traditional dry-room systems rely heavily on high-temperature electrical heating for regeneration. Exergic Technology® allows regeneration using lower-temperature heat sources such as hot water, reducing electrical energy consumption. 

     Ultradry systems are designed to achieve very low dew points typically ranging from −40 °C down to −120 °C, depending on system configuration and process requirements. 

     Yes. The regeneration process can utilise heat from heat pumps, waste heat, solar thermal systems or other sustainable energy sources.
