Experimental Facilities

Several experimental facilities are available in the HEX research group to characterise the developed devices. A test rig for heat transfer experiments with a maximum power of about 30kW is available (water in two separated closed loops, maximum volume flow: 1000 l/h). Other test rigs for heat transfer from and to gases as well as for electrical heating and cooling of micro structures are in use. Aside of these, two test facilities for evaporation and condensation experiments, a test rig for heating by microwaves, a facility for investigation of fouling processes, a test rig for residence time measurements and sensor characterization as well as several experimental facilities for application developments are available. A new test facility for thermal separation techniques and membranes is under construction.
