Fraunhofer Institute for Physical Measurement Techniques IPMAlternative caloric cooling technology
Based on magneto-, elasto- and electrocaloric materials, we develop efficient heat pumps and cooling systems that operate entirely without refrigerants. Our system concepts enable heat transfer rates that exceed those of traditional heat transfer concepts by orders of magnitude. This approach provides the basis for caloric systems with power density an order of magnitude higher than with conventional concepts.
Concepts for cooling and temperature control for small and medium loads
Our services for innovative thermal management focus on heat dissipation and temperature control solutions for small and medium thermal loads. To this end, we use cooling technologies that we develop according to our customers' individual specifications, e.g. based on Peltier coolers or highly efficient heat pipes. Thermal simulations, structural and thermal characterization of materials, components and systems, thermography and thermal failure analysis complete our range of services.
