Environment + Energy

 

Hydrogen measuring technology

 

We develop measuring technology for a safe hydrogen infrastructure.

 

Determination of the calorific value and the composition of gases

 

The chemical composition of natural gas can be determined quantitatively with high accuracy using spectroscopic methods.

 

Emission monitoring

 

Sensors that measure gas concentrations are used for the safety and protection of the environment – in everyday civil life as well as in industrial production.

 

Indoor air monitoring

 

We develop measuring systems for monitoring indoor air quality – in buildings as well as in vehicles.

 

Gas leak detection

More safety – Less environmental impact

Fraunhofer IPM is developing sensitive and convenient measurement technology for the quantitative leakage testing of gas infrastructure.

 

Liquid monitoring

Sensors based on ATR spectroscopy measure liquids quickly and sensitively – even under harsh environmental conditions.

 

Refrigerant detection

 

The composition of refrigerant mixtures can be determined precisely using photoacoustic gas sensors.

 

Sustainable agriculture

 

A wide variety of measurement data gathered in a digital ecosystem can make agriculture more efficient and climate-friendly.

 

Detection of toxic gases

 

Gasochrome dyes make toxic gases visible.

 

 

Contactless temperature measurement

Highly sensitive thermopile arrays measure temperatures ranging from 0 to 80 °C with an accuracy of less than one tenth of a degree Celsius. A function that opens up a wide range of new applications.
