New professorship for Large Engines Research at Graz University of Technology - EurekAlert
Large engines are essential for the global transport and energy sector, powering container ships, locomotives, decentralised power plants and heavy construction machinery. In many areas, battery-powered electric engines are not feasible, which is why the further development of large combustion engines is a key factor for meeting climate protection targets: through greater efficiency, but above all by using new, climate-neutral fuels. In order to strengthen research and the training of specialists in this field, Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), the Large Engines Competence Center (LEC) and companies from the large engines industry have established the new professorship "High-performance Large Engine Systems" and have recruited the proven expert Nicole Wermuth for this position. The professorship is based at the Institute of Thermodynamics and Sustainable Propulsion Systems at TU Graz and will initially be financed for three and a half years by the partners LEC, INNIO Jenbacher, AVL List, Bosch, Miba Gleitlager Austria, KS Engineers and Geislinger. After that, the funding will be provided by TU Graz.
