Projects

Our start-up's project history may be short, but it's rapidly expanding. We're proud of the progress we've made in such a short time. Additionally, take a look at the innovative work we accomplished during our university years.

PLC Control of a Fuel Cell System test bench

For Technische Hochschule Nürnberg, we completely rewrote the software for an existing fuel cell system test bench to prepare the test bench for new tasks. The control system was based on a Siemens S7-1500 PLC. The programmable logic controler (PLC) ensures safe operation and allows integrated test procedures as well as expansion of the test stand in future. Additionally, we are now integrating additional sensors into the test bench to enable comprehensive energy balancing of the fuel cell system.

Electronic Control System for a CO2 Electrolyser test stand​

For HiERN, we developed the electrical control system for a newly designed CO2 electrolysis test stand with two independent cell test bays. The system includes advanced temperature control, safety features, pumps, and sampling capabilities. Additionally, a programmable interface allows researchers to write test protocols in Python or MATLAB.

Optical Rotation Monitoring​

For a spray research lab, we developed a system to optically monitor the rotation of the injector while performing tomographic DBIEI. The optical system provides high-resolution imaging of a 10mm x 10mm field of view from a working distance of over 1 meter. An image analysis algorithm determines the current angle of rotation.

Sprays and Combustion

The latest trends in fuel spray research

Engines are indispensable in many applications. New fuels such as e-fuels, hydrogen, and ammonia are driving research in this field.

Electrochemistry

How to speed up MEA characterization

MEA characterization is very time-consuming. One reason is the conditioning of the test stand. Specifically, the regulation of a certain gas humidity takes a very long time. Together with FAU, we are working on new solutions.

Heat and Mass Transfer

Direct heat flux measurements using ALTP

Cooling plays a crucial role in almost all technical fields, but quantitatively measuring heat flux is often a challenge. Learn how innovative cooling systems are being investigated using ALTP measurement technology.

Measurement Techniques

Making the invisible visible

Schlieren images allow you to see the faintest gradients in optical density, visualizing mixing effects in gases, shockwaves, and temperatures.
