Riverdale, June 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In 2023, electric, hybrid, and fuel cell vehicles accounted for 12% of vehicles to be sold nationwide, increasing to almost double from 7% in 2022. Despite the environmental benefits of EV advancements in reducing automotive emissions, manufacturing EV batteries can produce harmful pollutants in large quantities.
In a new article, global air filtration company Camfil explains how air filtration technology helps make EV manufacturing more energy efficient and sustainable and why this is essential to the production process.
“HVAC systems can constitute over half of a manufacturing facility’s total energy use, with air filters accounting for 30% of this consumption,” says Camfil’s Mark Davidson, “By employing efficient dust collection and air filtration systems with high-efficiency filters that use less energy and allow for cost-effective air recirculation, operators can reduce these expenses.”
Topics covered in the resource include:
- Why is air quality important in lithium battery production?
- What kinds of pollutants present challenges in EV production?
- Protecting sensitive EV production equipment and processes from contamination
- The cost-saving benefits of premium air filters in EV production
