Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stefan Rusche
Despite a long career in the field of gas burner development, my current activities and research focus on reducing the use of fossil fuels. My expertise in combustion technology is still important, as fluctuating gas compositions are to be expected, especially in connection with the increasing use of hydrogen and other special gases. Furthermore, with increasing volatility in the utilisation of renewable energy sources, storage is becoming more and more important.This is one of the focal points of my research activities: thermal storage systems based on phase change materials (PCM). Our laboratory is equipped with a calorimeter (DSC), viscometers and test rigs for testing cycle stability.
