Research Facilities

ATM Lab

In order to examine and characterize burner systems for micro gas turbines under real combustor entry temperatures and atmospheric pressure conditions, the ATM lab contains flexible, visually accessible individual burner test rigs.

Forschungskraftwerk - MGT

The focus of the research in the laboratory ‘Forschungskraftwerk’ is the development and demonstration of innovative, fuel-flexible, low emission and highly efficient decentralized power plant concepts.

Gas Turbine Model Combustors

For the investigation of combustion processes under gas turbine relevant conditions, numerous gas turbine model combustors for gaseous and liquid fuels are operated in a pressure range from 1 to 30 bars.

High-pressure Combustor Rig Stuttgart (HBK-S)

The high-pressure combustor rig Stuttgart (HBK-S) is characterised by an excellent optical access for laser diagnostics. Sophisticated optical diagnostics together will classical measuring techniques allow the development of burner and combustion systems for gas turbines (stationary and aero engines).

High Pressure Burner

For pressures up to 40 bar

Technikum - MGT

The micro gas turbine Turbec T100 is the key element for the development of gas turbine combustion systems in the power output range of about 100kW_el. Goals of the research include pollutant minimization and a reliability analysis of technical combustion systems. A further priority of the research activities is fuel flexibility in conventional and alternative fluid and gas fuels.

Shock Tubes for chemical-kinetic research

For experiments on chemical-kinetic elementary reactions and research on complex combustion systems
