HVAC (Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning)
HVAC systems in battery manufacturing maintain the dew point, particulate cleanliness, and temperature ranges required by lithium-ion cell production, especially in dry rooms where moisture above a few parts per million ruins electrodes. As a hard skill it requires understanding desiccant dehumidification, HEPA filtration class selection, pressurization cascades, and energy recovery in continuous-running facilities. Plant engineers apply HVAC knowledge during facility design, validation testing, and troubleshooting when dry-room humidity excursions threaten yield.
