Chair of Sustainable Mobile Drivetrains
Prof. Malte Jaensch, PhD, MBA
Internal Combustion Engines can be used to apply synthetic fuels in propulsion and generation of electric energy in a cost- and energy-efficient way and with lowest pollutant emissions. The modification of engine concepts for new fuels will further improve efficiency and exhaust after-treatment significantly compared to conventional fuels. In various applications combustion engines are increasingly combined with electric drives. This makes it necessary to develop hybrid systems which can fulfill the ambitious requirements of a future sustainable energy economy.

The practical course is aimed at students who want to deepen their knowledge of the general physical relationships between hydrogen, fuel cells and powertrains in practical exercises.
It introduces the basic relationships between the typical conflicting goals of consumption and performance. It also provides an insight into measurement technology and test bench automation. The correlations are worked out theoretically, partly in group work, and then verified on the model test bench.
