KLIMA-N - Network for more sustainability in Thuringia

10/2022-01/2026

Project management:

  • Apl. Prof. Dr Bettina Hollstein (University of Erfurt)
  • Prof Dr Björn Machalett (FH Erfurt)
  • Dr.-Ing. Pascal Leibbrandt (HS Nordhausen)
  • Prof Dr Jens Wolling (TU Ilmenau)

Research question:

The "CLIMATE Network for More Sustainability in Thuringia" (KLIMA-N) project aims to transform universities in Thuringia into sustainable institutions. In cooperation with four universities, sustainability-oriented projects are being implemented in the areas of education for sustainable development (ESD), energy, mobility and biodiversity. The project creates a network that contributes to the development of solutions for sustainability and promotes the transfer of knowledge and innovation to society.

Development of a spherical scroll machine for primary use as an expander machine in an ORC system (VASP)

05/2022-10/2024

Project management:

  • Prof Dr Thomas Link

Research question:

A scroll machine on spherically curved carrier plates is being developed within the project with the aim of improving thermal management. The central objects are the theoretical design based on models and simulations to be developed as well as the subsequent construction and experimental investigation of the VASP concept in the laboratory.
