Technology assessment for the joining connections of the flat membrane humidifier

This paper presents a comprehensive technology assessment for the joining connections of the flat membrane humidifier. The goal of this technology assessment is to analyse and evaluate specific technologies for an efficient integration into the flat membrane humidifier manufacturing. The investigations spanned various levels. At the idea level, proposals for design changes were developed and technology-relevant fields determined. Subsequently a technology screening was conducted to identify the most fitting technologies. The technologies were tested in feasibility studies. The results of the comparative analysis are intended identify promising approaches, which were subsequently evaluated with regard to their practical implementation. The feasibility studies and their evaluation provide in-depth insights into the optimal technologies for effective joining connections in the context of the flat membrane humidifier. The results of this study should find application in the flat membrane humidifier manufacture for the automotive supply sector. This research contributes to enhancing the performance and integration of these technologies in practice.
