Equipment

Heat treatment and melting furnaces

• 600 kW Pilot elec­tric arc furnace
• Vacu­um heat tre­at­ment plant up to 1600 °C with high pres­su­re quenching
• various cham­ber and tube fur­naces for pro­tec­ti­ve or reac­ti­ve gas operation
• Test stands and com­bus­ti­on cham­bers for the inves­ti­ga­ti­on of bur­ners and radi­ant hea­ting tubes

We car­ry out heat tre­at­ments and mel­ting tests on your behalf. Cont­act us for more information.

Water models for the physical simulation of fluid flows

• Con­ver­ter
• Lad­le
• Tun­dish
• Thin slab cas­ting mould

We plan and manu­fac­tu­re water models within the scope of rese­arch and deve­lo­p­ment or ser­vice con­tracts accor­ding to cus­to­mer requirements.

Fluid flow test rigs

• Ven­ti­la­tor test rigs (radi­al, axi­al and cross-flow ventilator)
• Model of a high con­vec­ti­ve coo­ling section
• Test rig to deter­mi­ne the heat trans­fer dis­tri­bu­ti­on of nozz­le fields
• Bell-type fur­nace model

Measurement technology

• Par­tic­le Image Velo­ci­me­try (3D-PIV)
• Laser Dopp­ler Ane­mo­me­try (LDA)
• Laser Indu­ced Fluo­re­s­cen­se (LIF)
• 3D laser pro­fi­le sensors
• Pyro­me­ters, suc­tion pyro­me­ters and other com­pre­hen­si­ve tem­pe­ra­tu­re mea­su­re­ment tech­no­lo­gy also for use in harsh environments
• various mul­ti-hole pro­bes and ane­mo­me­ters for the deter­mi­na­ti­on of flow velo­ci­ties and volu­me flows deri­ved from them
• Pro­cess gas ana­ly­tics and mea­su­re­ment tech­no­lo­gy for the deter­mi­na­ti­on of dust load in gasses
• and much more

We also have soft­ware for simu­la­ti­on and mode­ling using Com­pu­ta­tio­nal Flu­id Dyna­mics (CFD) and Fini­te Ele­ments Method (FEM) as well as soft­ware for cal­cu­la­ti­ons in che­mi­cal ther­mo­dy­na­mics and reac­tion kine­tics at our disposal.
