Possible applications

This laboratory is assigned to the Department of Thermal Energy Systems and is mainly used in the main course of the RET degree programme. The research area focuses on the development and performance optimisation of solar thermal and geothermal components. The equipment also enables the laboratory testing (prototype testing) of solar thermal and geothermal components.

Special equipment:

• Test rig for determining the heat transfer capacity of shell-and-tube heat exchangers
• Pressure, temperature and volumetric flow sensors
• Coriolis mass flow sensor
• Thermographic camera
• Test stand for static and dynamic structural analysis (single panes, insulating glass units, flat collectors)
• Collector performance test bench based on DIN EN ISO 9806
• Heat pump test bench

Software:

• MATLAB Simulink / Simscape / Carnot
• Engineering Equation Solver (EES)
• CFD/CAE Toolbox CD-adapco STAR-CCM+
• LabVIEW
• Polysun
