Fraunhofer Institute for Physical Measurement Techniques IPM
Your partner for cooling, temperature control and heat to power conversion
Our research in the "Thermal Energy Converters" business sector focuses on technologies for pumping, converting, conducting and switching heat.
We develop caloric and thermoelectric modules and systems for cooling, temperature control and converting heat into electricity. The application of new technologies results in especially environmentally friendly, cost-effective and durable heat pumps, cooling systems or generators. We offer comprehensive services in the production of heat pipes for industry and research combined with novel concepts for efficient, heat pipe-based heat transfer.
For our work, we can draw on over 20 years of experience and extensive expertise in special measurement technology, simulation, material development and system integration. Our work is supported by state-of-the-art, high-performance equipment to examine conventional and functional materials.
