TEAM
Thermal process technology
We are your competent partner for all aspects of gas applications, from basic research to fuel flexibility of different combustion processes. We are happy to support you in optimizing energy-intensive processes with our test beds.
New burner test stand
Our industrial furnace can be operated with a firing capacity of up to 1 MW at a maximum furnace chamber temperature of 1.250 °C. The total installed output is 2.3 MW, so that regenerative burner systems or burner systems in alternating operation can also be tested. It is also possible to simulate a thermal load in the combustion chamber which allows for different temperature conditions and heat loads. Due to the size of the furnace chamber, material and component tests can also be carried out in addition to tests on firing systems with regard to their emissions, performance characteristics or fuel flexibility.

OPTISOS® 2.0
Optical probe systems: Evaluation and assessment of thermal process systems
The OPTISOS® 2.0 probe offers you the opportunity to look live into your running process, to monitor, evaluate and analyze it. Detect changes in your system before problems occur with the latest analysis technology from the DBI Group.
We enable condition analyses in the visible spectral range, detect heat sinks and determine temperature distributions inside the system and on the product.

Combustion pulsations
System vibration and combustion noise in boilers often have hidden causes. We diagnose your boiler, find the sources of vibration and develop solutions to reduce combustion noise and vibration-induced stress.
Advantages
- Visualization of the flame pattern and combustion chamber condition
- Determination of operation specific frequencies of firing and system peripherals
- Detection and documentation of the excitation of (ab-)normal vibration behavior
- Evaluation of the system status and identification of critical excitation frequencies
- Assessment in the event of a fault or damage
- The system evaluation is based on the regulations VDI guideline 3842, DIN-ISO 10816 and DIN EN 15502.
