However, Danish company Cotes has developed a much more efficient way it calls Exergic Technology to do this that significantly reduces the battery\u2019s overall carbon footprint.<br \/>\nUnderstanding humidity is key to getting rid of unwanted moisture from air, and warm air holds more water than cold air.<br \/>\nAbsolute humidity is the amount of water vapour in a given mass of air, and is typically expressed in grams per kilo. Relative humidity, meanwhile, is the amount of water in the air expressed as a percentage of the maximum it can hold at a given temperature. When that percentage exceeds 100, the water begins to condense out. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emobility-engineering.com\/cotes-cuts-carbon-footprint-of-running-dry-rooms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.evearly.news\/en\/cotes-cuts-carbon-footprint-of-running-dry-rooms\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-149492","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-e-mobility-engineering"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evearly.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149492","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evearly.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evearly.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evearly.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evearly.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=149492"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.evearly.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149492\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evearly.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=149492"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evearly.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=149492"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evearly.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=149492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
