Cell manufacturing/Vacuum Drying

Edit this element

Description

Production process

• Stacks are stored in a vacuum oven
• During the drying process, residual moisture and solvents are removed from the electrodes, resp., stacks
• Reduction of residual moisture is achieved by evaporation at low temperatures as a result of a low total pressure
• After vacuum drying, stacks are transferred directly to the dry room or dry packed under vacuum
• Vacuum ovens can be operated with inert gas in order to prevent corrosion.

Process parameters & requirements

• Working pressure: 0.07 mbar < p < 1000 mbar
• Drying time: 12 h - 30 h per batch
• Drying temperature: 60°C - 150°C
• Inert gas supply

Quality influences

• Constant heat supply and stable vacuum
• Longer resting times only possible in the dry room
• Inert gas supply against corrosion

Quality features

• Surface condition (cracks, etc.)
• Residual moisture content (no residual moisture desired)
