Lithium in air conditioning

Lithium carbonate is used in industrial air conditioning systems because of its ability to absorb moisture from the air.

Use of lithium carbonate in air conditioning

Due to its highly hygroscopic properties, our lithium carbonate It is used as an input for the manufacture of lithium bromide (LiBr), a liquid desiccant key in industrial air conditioning systems and dehumidification.

Thanks to its ability to effectively absorb moisture from the air, It allows you to control the humidity level. in environments where climate precision is required, such as hospitals, laboratories, data centers or industrial plants.

industrial applications

Data centers and laboratories: where humidity control is critical.

Pharmaceutical industry and sensitive processes: that require dry environments free of contaminants.

Tropical and industrial climates: where the moisture load is very high and compression refrigeration is inefficient.

How does it work in HVAC systems?

HVAC It is the English acronym for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning), a set of technologies that regulate the temperature, ventilation and humidity in enclosed spaces. In HVAC systems, the lithium carbonate It is used to produce lithium bromide, a liquid desiccant that:

It is placed in special tanks where it extracts moisture from the recirculated air.

By absorbing water, this solution is regenerated by heating, releasing the captured moisture so that it can be reused.

This process reduces the thermal load of the system, improving energy efficiency, as it avoids cooling air with excess humidity.

Industrial benefits

Energy efficiency: It reduces consumption by up to 20–30% compared to conventional systems.

Greater environmental comfort: It removes moisture without over-cooling the air.

Water saving: It uses regenerative solutions, minimizing the use of fresh water.

Why is our lithium carbonate ideal?

Superior purity (≥ 99%): guarantees consistent effectiveness in hygroscopic performance.

Micronized technical quality: It improves absorption capacity and facilitates dosing.

Sustainable production: renewable energies and traceability at the Salar del Carmen plant.

Measurable impact: It helps our customers reduce their costs and emissions in industrial air conditioning.
