Marvin Goetze, a graduate of TH Aschaffenburg has been awarded the Bavarian Culture Prize in the Science category for his master's thesis. His subject was the simulation of energy needs along the value chain. He conducted his case study at WIKA in Klingenberg. …
Energy efficiency
Sustainable production through robust pressure measurement
Jürgen Arndt | Know-howSustainability is the megatrend for the several-hundred tyre plants worldwide. Among other things, this includes increasing both energy and production efficiency by avoiding rejects while simultaneously shortening production cycles. Despite all the electronic …
Filter monitoring: A crucial component for energy-efficient operation
Jürgen Arndt | Know-howIf the careful use of “energy” as a resource used to be for cost reasons, today there is also increased environmental awareness. All of this also becomes mandatory thanks to legal requirements and the state of the technology. In this article you can read about how …
Measuring instruments for combined heat and power plants (CHP)
Gerhard Renz | ApplicationsThe range of combined heat and power plants (CHP) is very large, as is the high variance of different plant types. The distinction is made by the generated power/heat output on the one hand and by the energy source used on the other. For all CHP plants, a large number …
More efficient heating with WIKA sensors and heat pumps
Sabine Mai | GeneralThe working principle of a heat pump is basically identical to that of an everyday appliance known to all of us: the refrigerator. However, while the refrigerator removes heat from its interior and gives it off to the environment, the heat pump removes heat from the …
